A40MX02-FPLG68

Overview

The A40MX02-FPLG68 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. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports mixed-voltage I/O configurations at 3.3 V or 5.0 V. It provides 57 user-programmable I/O pins within a 68-pin PLCC package. The component supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage operation for core and I/Os, enabling compatibility with both 3.3V and 5.0V systems.
• Offers deterministic timing through fast wide-decode circuitry and up to 100% pin locking capabilities.
• Includes unique in-system diagnostic and verification capability via Silicon Explorer II technology.

Applications

• Replacement for complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) and standard ASICs
• Industrial control systems requiring mixed-voltage interfaces
• Automotive electronics applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'F' against official Microchip documentation to confirm it denotes the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm the package type corresponds to the 68-lead Plastic Leadless Chip Carrier (PLCC). Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check for any recent Production Change Notices regarding assembly sites or material updates before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires approximately 3,000 system gates with mixed-voltage I/O flexibility. It is suitable for applications needing deterministic timing and in-system diagnostics. Compare against other MX series variants if higher gate counts or different package options are required. Verify that the 57 available I/O pins meet the interface requirements of the target system.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A40MX02 series within the broader MX FPGA family produced by Microchip Technology. The family ranges from 3,000 to 54,000 system gates and includes configurable dual-port SRAM. The A40MX02 variant specifically targets low-to-medium complexity logic replacement tasks, offering a cost-effective alternative to custom ASICs while maintaining high reliability and ease of integration.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other parts in the A40MX02 series with compatible packages, such as A40MX02-PLG68I. Cross-reference pinouts and electrical characteristics carefully when considering alternatives from other manufacturers, as architecture differences may impact performance and compatibility.
