A40MX02-2PL68

Overview

The A40MX02-2PL68 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microchip Technology MX family, designed as a high-capacity single-chip ASIC alternative. It features 295 Logic Elements and approximately 3,000 system gates. The device supports mixed-voltage operation with a core supply of 3.3V or 5.0V and I/Os compatible with 5.0V standards. It is housed in a 68-pin PLCC package and operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage operation for both core logic and I/O pins, allowing compatibility with 3.3V and 5.0V systems.
• Provides deterministic timing through user-controllable delay elements and pin locking capabilities.
• Includes unique in-system diagnostic and verification capability via Silicon Explorer II technology.

Applications

• High-capacity single-chip ASIC replacement
• Mixed-voltage interface bridging between 3.3V and 5.0V domains
• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic timing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets, as variants like A40MX02-2PL68I denote industrial temperature ranges while others may differ. Confirm moisture sensitivity levels and reflow soldering profiles prior to assembly. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required speed grade and package type to avoid functional mismatches.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low gate count FPGA with robust 5.0V I/O tolerance is required. Compare the 295 LE capacity against application complexity needs. Consider the PLCC-68 package constraints for PCB layout. Verify if the fixed 101MHz speed grade meets the target clock requirements.

Part Context

This device belongs to the A40MX02 series within the broader MX FPGA portfolio. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the A40MX02-2PLG68I but differs in package style and specific speed binning. The series is known for its flash-based non-volatile configuration memory.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other A40MX02 variants such as A40MX02-2PL68I or A40MX02-2PL68X79, provided the package and temperature specifications align. Cross-family replacements require careful review of I/O counts and voltage levels.
