A40MX02-3PL44I

Overview

The A40MX02-3PL44I is a field-programmable gate array from the Microchip MX family, designed as a high-capacity single-chip ASIC alternative. It features 295 logic elements and approximately 3,000 system gates within a 44-pin PLCC package. The device supports mixed-voltage operation with core and I/O supplies ranging from 3.3V to 5.0V. It operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and includes features such as wide-decode circuitry and user-controllable timing for deterministic performance.

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage operation allowing flexible integration with both 3.3V and 5.0V systems
• Provides deterministic, user-controllable timing through wide-decode circuitry
• Enables 100% resource utilization and complete pin locking for secure designs

Applications

• High-capacity single-chip ASIC replacement
• Mixed-voltage interface logic
• Secure digital control systems requiring pin locking

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '3' indicates the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and 'PL44' denotes the 44-pin PLCC package. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements for your assembly process. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding packaging or design updates before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact FPGA solution with mixed-voltage I/O capability is required. Ensure the design fits within the 295 logic element limit. Verify that the 44-pin PLCC package aligns with the PCB footprint constraints. Consider the 3.3V/5.0V dual-supply requirement for power rail planning.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A40MX series, which offers SRAM-based FPGA technology with non-volatile configuration options in other variants. The A40MX02 variant specifically targets applications needing moderate logic density with high reliability. It serves as a bridge between discrete logic and larger FPGAs, offering ease of integration and diagnostic capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other A40MX02 variants with different packages, such as A40MX02-PL68I for 68-pin PLCC. Cross-family replacements like A42MX series offer higher gate counts but may require redesign. Verify pin compatibility and voltage levels when considering alternatives.
