A40MX02-3PQ100I

Overview

The A40MX02-3PQ100I is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microchip A40MX series, featuring 547 logic elements and approximately 6,000 system gates. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports mixed-voltage I/O configurations for both 3.3 V and 5.0 V standards. The device provides 97 user-programmable I/O pins and utilizes a PQFP-100 surface-mount package. It is rated for an industrial temperature range spanning from -40 °C to +85 °C.

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage operation allowing flexible integration with both 3.3V and 5.0V logic levels
• Enables 100% resource utilization and complete pin locking for deterministic timing control
• Includes unique in-system diagnostic and verification capabilities via Silicon Explorer II

Applications

• High-capacity single-chip ASIC replacement designs
• Mixed-signal interface bridging between different voltage domains
• Prototyping for complex digital logic requiring deterministic timing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Microchip documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current datasheets as manufacturing processes may evolve. Ensure ESD handling protocols are followed during storage and assembly due to moisture sensitivity classification.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires approximately 6,000 system gates with mixed-voltage I/O support. Compare against the A40MX02-VQG80 for smaller form factors or the A40MX04-3PQG100I for higher logic density. Verify that the PQFP-100 footprint aligns with existing PCB layout constraints and thermal management requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Actel A40MX family of low-power FPGAs, originally developed by Actel and now maintained by Microchip Technology. The series is characterized by non-volatile flash-based technology, eliminating the need for external configuration memory. It serves as a bridge between traditional CPLDs and larger FPGA architectures.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional equivalents include the A40MX02-3PQ100 and other variants within the A40MX02 series. Cross-referencing with the A40MX04-3PQG100I is recommended if additional logic resources are required.
