A40MX02-3PLG68I

Overview

The A40MX02-3PLG68I is a high-capacity Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microchip MX family, designed as a single-chip ASIC alternative. It features 295 Logic Elements and approximately 3,000 system gates within a 68-pin PLCC package. The device supports mixed-voltage operation with supply ranges of 4.75V to 5.25V or 3.0V to 3.6V. It offers up to 57 user-programmable I/O pins and operates reliably across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage core and I/O operation for compatibility with both 5.0V and 3.3V systems.
• Provides deterministic timing through fast wide-decode circuitry architecture.
• Enables full resource utilization and complete pin locking capabilities.

Applications

• High-capacity single-chip ASIC replacement designs
• Industrial control systems requiring extended temperature stability
• Automotive electronic modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '3' indicates the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and the 'I' denotes the plastic package variant. Confirm that the 68-pin PLCC form factor matches the target PCB footprint. Ensure voltage requirements align with the specified dual-range support before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires approximately 3,000 system gates with robust environmental tolerance. The PLCC-68 package is suitable for surface-mount applications where moderate pin counts are sufficient. Consider the mixed-voltage capability if interfacing with legacy 5V logic alongside modern 3.3V components.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A40MX02 series within the broader MX FPGA portfolio. It shares architectural similarities with other variants like the A40MX02-PLG68I but differs in operating temperature specifications and speed grades. The series is characterized by its SRAM-based technology and extensive I/O flexibility.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other members of the A40MX02 family such as the A40MX02-1PLG68I or A40MX02-VQG80, provided the package type and temperature range meet the application requirements. Cross-model selection must account for differences in speed bins and thermal limits.
