A40MX02-2VQG80I

Overview

The A40MX02-2VQG80I is a field-programmable gate array from the Microchip MX series, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 295 logic elements and 57 I/Os within a VQFP-80 package. The device operates at supply voltages of 3.3 V or 5 V, with a minimum voltage of 4.5 V and maximum of 5.5 V for standard operation. It supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The component utilizes non-volatile flash technology for configuration retention.

Feature Summary

• Non-volatile flash-based architecture ensures configuration data retention without external memory.
• Supports in-system programming and reconfiguration capabilities for flexible design updates.
• Integrated security features protect intellectual property against unauthorized access.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable programmable logic
• Automotive electronics applications within specified temperature ranges
• Communication interface adapters and protocol converters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' indicates the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) compared to commercial variants. Confirm the VQFP-80 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Check current manufacturing status as older MX series parts may have limited availability or end-of-life notifications. Ensure ESD handling procedures are followed due to moisture sensitivity classification.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 295 logic elements and 57 I/Os meet system requirements. Choose the VQFP-80 package for surface-mount assembly with moderate pin density. Verify that the 3.3 V or 5 V operating voltage aligns with your power supply design. Consider the industrial temperature rating if the application environment exceeds commercial limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Actel (now Microchip) MX family of flash FPGAs. These devices are known for low power consumption and instant-on capability due to their non-volatile nature. The A40MX02 variant represents a lower-end option within the series, suitable for simpler logic functions compared to higher-density models like the A40MX04 or A42MX series.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MX series parts with similar I/O counts, such as A40MX02-VQG80 (commercial grade). For pin-compatible upgrades, consider A40MX04 variants if more logic resources are needed, though package and pinout must be verified. Cross-reference with legacy Actel part numbers if migrating from older designs.
