A40MX02-3PLG44

Overview

The A40MX02-3PLG44 is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from the Microchip MX series, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features approximately 3,000 system gates and 295 logic elements. The device supports dual voltage operation at 3.3 V and 5 V, with supply voltage ranges of 4.75 V to 5.25 V for 5 V operation and 3.135 V to 3.465 V for 3.3 V operation. It offers 34 I/O pins and is housed in a PLCC-44 surface-mount package. The commercial temperature grade operates between 0°C and +70°C. The component utilizes flash memory technology for non-volatile configuration.

Feature Summary

• Non-volatile flash-based architecture eliminates the need for external configuration memory devices.

Applications

• General-purpose programmable logic applications requiring low pin counts.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '3' indicates the commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) against the official datasheet. Confirm the PLCC-44 package dimensions and moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to assembly. Ensure design compatibility with the specified 3.3 V or 5 V power domains as documented in the electrical characteristics section.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a compact FPGA solution with integrated flash configuration is required for designs under 3K gates. Compare the 34 I/O count against interface requirements. Consider the PLCC-44 footprint constraints relative to available board space. Verify that the commercial temperature range meets the operational environment specifications.

Part Context

This component belongs to the A40MX02 family within the broader MX FPGA product line. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the A40MX04 but differs in gate density and I/O capacity. The series is characterized by its single-chip flash FPGA design, distinguishing it from SRAM-based FPGAs that require external boot memory.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other variants within the A40MX02 family, such as the A40MX02-1PLG44 or A40MX02-PLG68I, provided the package type and I/O count align with the design requirements. Cross-family migration to newer Microchip FPGA architectures requires full schematic and bitstream re-verification.
