A40MX02-PL44

Overview

The A40MX02-PL44 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microchip Technology MX series, specifically utilizing the Actel trademark. This device features approximately 3,000 system gates and contains 295 Logic Elements (LEs). It provides 34 Input/Output terminals for external connectivity. The component operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V, with support for 3.3 V and 5 V logic levels. It is housed in a PLCC-44 surface-mount package and is rated for an industrial operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Configurable logic architecture based on the MX FPGA platform.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring programmable logic.

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against official Microchip documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical specifications. Ensure the ordering code matches the required temperature grade and package type. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements prior to assembly to prevent damage during soldering processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor PLCC-44 package is required alongside moderate logic density. Compare the 34 I/O count against interface requirements. Verify that the 3,000 gate capacity meets design complexity needs without excessive resource utilization compared to larger family members.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A40MX02 series, which offers lower logic density than the A40MX04 variants. It shares the same PLCC-44 footprint as other devices in the family but differs in internal logic element count and I/O availability. It serves as a compact solution for simpler programmable logic applications within the broader MX portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other A40MX02 variants with identical packages, such as the A40MX02-1PLG44 or A40MX02-2PLG44, provided speed grades are compatible. Cross-referencing with A42MX02 models may be necessary if higher performance is acceptable.
