A40MX02-1VQG80

Overview

The A40MX02-1VQG80 is a field-programmable gate array from the Microchip MX family, housed in an 80-pin VQFP package. It provides 295 logic elements and supports up to 57 user-programmable I/O pins. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V for standard 5V core configurations, or 3.3 V for low-voltage applications. It is rated for commercial temperature operation between 0°C and +70°C. This non-volatile FPGA utilizes flash technology for instant-on functionality without external configuration memory.

Feature Summary

• Instant-on capability due to embedded non-volatile flash configuration storage
• Supports mixed-voltage operation for flexible 3.3V or 5V I/O interface compatibility
• Provides high-density programmable logic with wide-decode circuitry for complex address decoding

Applications

• Replacement for complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) in industrial control systems
• Address decoding and bus arbitration in embedded computing architectures
• State machine implementation for automated manufacturing equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and package variant against the design schematic to ensure pin compatibility. Confirm that the target application environment remains within the specified commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Check for moisture sensitivity level requirements during PCB assembly, as the component requires proper handling procedures to prevent damage during reflow soldering processes.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a small form factor is required alongside moderate logic capacity. The VQFP-80 package offers a balance between pin count and board space constraints. Ensure the design utilizes the correct voltage domain, as the device supports both 3.3V and 5V cores but requires appropriate power supply routing for each selected mode.

Part Context

This component belongs to the A40MX02 series, which represents the entry-level tier of the MX FPGA family. It shares architectural similarities with higher-capacity variants like the A40MX04 but offers reduced logic resources. The series is designed to bridge the gap between simple discrete logic and larger programmable solutions.
