A40MX02-3PL44

Overview

The A40MX02-3PL44 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microchip MX series, designed as a high-capacity single-chip ASIC alternative. It features 295 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and approximately 3,000 system gates. The device supports mixed-voltage operation with core and I/O supplies of 3.3V or 5.0V. It is housed in a 44-pin PLCC package and operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage operation for both core logic and I/O pins at 3.3V or 5.0V.
• Provides deterministic, user-controllable timing with up to 100% resource utilization 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-signal system integration
• Discrete logic consolidation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with existing design constraints regarding voltage levels and pin configurations before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring moderate logic density with flexible voltage requirements. Consider the PLCC package form factor and commercial temperature range suitability for the target environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A40MX family of SRAM-based FPGAs, offering non-volatile configuration memory options when paired with external flash. It serves as a bridge between complex CPLDs and larger FPGAs, providing flexibility for prototyping and low-to-medium volume production.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other variants within the A40MX series such as the A40MX02-3PL68 or A40MX04-3PLG44, depending on required I/O count and gate density. Verify pinout compatibility for direct replacements.
