A40MX02-FPQ100

Overview

The A40MX02-FPQ100 is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from the Microchip MX family, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 295 configurable logic blocks and approximately 2,000 system gates. The device operates with a maximum clock frequency of 48.24 MHz and includes up to 2.5 kbits of configurable dual-port SRAM. It supports mixed-voltage operation for both core and I/O domains at 3.3V or 5.0V. The component is housed in a 100-pin plastic quad flat package (PQFP) and offers up to 69 user-programmable I/O pins.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-capacity programmable logic as a single-chip ASIC alternative within the MX FPGA family.
• Integrates fast wide-decode circuitry and configurable dual-port SRAM for flexible data handling.
• Supports mixed-voltage operation allowing independent 3.3V or 5.0V settings for core and I/O interfaces.

Applications

• General-purpose digital logic implementation replacing custom ASICs
• Interface bridging between components with different voltage levels
• Prototyping complex digital systems requiring reconfigurable logic

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Microchip documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics. Ensure the selected variant matches the required operating temperature range and package type for the target design. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to confirm current availability and authenticity before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when the design requires approximately 2,000 system gates and mixed-voltage I/O support. Compare against other MX family members if higher gate counts or different package options are needed. Verify that the 48.24 MHz performance meets the timing requirements of the intended application logic.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A40MX series of flash-based FPGAs, which are designed for low-power, high-density applications. The MX family is known for its non-volatile configuration memory, eliminating the need for external configuration devices. This specific model represents a mid-range density option within the broader portfolio of programmable logic solutions offered by Microchip.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other variants within the A40MX02 series such as A40MX02-2PQG100 or A40MX02-3VQ100, provided the package and speed grade are compatible. Check datasheets for pin-to-pin equivalence and electrical parameter alignment before substitution.
