A40MX02-FPL68

Overview

The A40MX02-FPL68 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) 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. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports mixed-voltage operation for core and I/Os at 3.3 V or 5.0 V. It provides 57 user-programmable I/O pins and utilizes a 68-pin PLCC package. The component is rated for an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

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

Applications

• High capacity single-chip ASIC replacement
• Mixed-voltage interface bridging
• Industrial control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'FPL68' against official Microchip documentation, as standard listings often utilize 'PLG68' or 'PL68'. Confirm the operating temperature grade matches the required industrial specification (-40°C to +85°C). Ensure compatibility with the 68-pin PLCC footprint during procurement planning.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring moderate logic density with robust mixed-voltage support. Compare against the A40MX02-PLG68I if a wider commercial/industrial temperature range is not strictly necessary. Consider the VQG80M variant if additional I/O pins are required despite the larger package size.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Actel/Microchip MX FPGA family, known for non-volatile flash-based technology. It serves as a drop-in replacement for complex discrete logic or older ASICs. The family emphasizes ease of integration and low power consumption compared to traditional SRAM-based FPGAs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the A40MX02-PLG68I and A40MX02-3PL68X79. Verify that the replacement part number matches the exact speed grade and temperature rating required for the specific design implementation.
