A40MX02-2PLG68

Overview

The A40MX02-2PLG68 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. The device provides 57 I/O pins and operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supporting both 3.3 V and 5 V core voltages. It is housed in a PLCC-68 package with Surface Mount Device (SMD/SMT) installation style. The component supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage operation for core and I/Os at 3.3V or 5.0V levels
• Features deterministic, user-controllable timing with up to 100% pin locking capability
• Includes unique in-system diagnostic and verification capabilities via Silicon Explorer II

Applications

• High capacity single-chip ASIC alternative designs
• Industrial control systems requiring mixed-voltage interfaces
• Automotive electronics applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm temperature grade and package variations. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to ordering. Check for recent Product Change Notifications regarding assembly sites or packaging updates to ensure supply chain continuity and specification adherence.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring 3,000 system gates with a PLCC-68 footprint. Ensure the design environment supports the MX FPGA architecture and utilizes appropriate programming tools. Verify that the 57 available I/O pins meet the interface requirements and that the operating voltage aligns with the 4.5V to 5.5V supply constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the A40MX02 family within the broader MX FPGA product line. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the series, such as the A40MX04, but offers lower logic density. The PLG68 designation indicates a plastic leaded chip carrier package with 68 terminals, distinct from ceramic or ball grid array options available in the same family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other variants within the A40MX02 family, such as A40MX02-2PL68IX79, which may differ in speed grade or temperature rating. Cross-family replacements like the A40MX04 offer higher gate counts but require pinout and resource verification.
