A40MX02-2PLG44

Overview

The A40MX02-2PLG44 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microchip MX series, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 295 Logic Elements and approximately 3,000 system gates within a PLCC-44 surface-mount package. The device supports mixed-voltage operation with supply ranges of 4.75 V to 5.25 V for 5V I/O and 3.0 V to 3.6 V for 3.3V I/O. It includes up to 2.5 kbits of configurable dual-port SRAM and offers up to 34 user-programmable I/O pins. The component operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage operation allowing compatibility with both 5.0V and 3.3V I/O standards.
• Integrates configurable dual-port SRAM to facilitate complex logic and data storage applications.
• Provides fast wide-decode circuitry for efficient address decoding and signal processing.

Applications

• General-purpose programmable logic implementation
• Mixed-signal interface bridging between different voltage domains
• Custom digital logic replacement for discrete gate arrays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '2' indicates the speed grade corresponding to the required timing performance for your design. Confirm that the PLCC-44 package footprint matches your PCB layout constraints. Ensure the manufacturing source is authorized, as Actel assets are now part of Microchip Technology. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your production environment.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a small form factor PLCC-44 package is required for low-density logic applications. Compare against the A40MX02-VQG80M if more I/O pins or an extended industrial temperature range (-55°C to +125°C) are necessary. Consider the A40MX04 series if higher gate counts exceeding 3,000 system gates are needed for more complex designs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the A40MX02 family within the broader MX FPGA portfolio. It serves as a single-chip ASIC alternative for simple digital control tasks. The device utilizes flash-based technology, allowing non-volatile configuration without external memory components. It represents a cost-effective solution for prototyping and low-volume production runs requiring reprogrammability.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package may include other speed grades of the A40MX02 series, such as the -1 variant, provided timing requirements allow. For upgraded capacity, the A40MX04 series requires a different pinout or package. Verify electrical characteristics carefully when substituting across different speed grades.
