A40MX02-PL44I

Overview

The A40MX02-PL44I is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microchip MX series, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 295 Logic Elements and approximately 3,000 system gates, housed in a PLCC-44 surface-mount package. The device supports dual voltage operation at 3.3 V and 5 V, with supply voltage ranges of 4.75 V to 5.25 V for 5V mode and corresponding levels for 3.3V. It operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. The component includes 34 I/O pins and is classified as humidity sensitive.

Feature Summary

• Configurable logic architecture utilizing 295 logic elements for custom digital circuit implementation.
• Dual-voltage capability supporting both 3.3 V and 5 V power domains for flexible interface compatibility.
• Surface-mount PLCC-44 packaging designed for automated assembly processes.

Applications

• Digital logic replacement and prototyping
• Interface bridging between disparate voltage domains
• Custom state machine implementation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets, as variations may indicate different speed grades or temperature ratings. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to storage and handling. Ensure ordering quantities align with manufacturer tube pack sizes to avoid partial reel issues.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a low gate count FPGA is required for simple logic functions. Compare the 295 LE capacity against design requirements to ensure sufficient resources. Verify that the PLCC-44 footprint matches the PCB layout constraints and that the 3.3V/5V operating voltages match the system power rails.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Actel/Microchip MX family of flash-based FPGAs. These devices are known for non-volatile configuration, eliminating the need for external configuration memory. The MX series provides a cost-effective solution for mid-volume production runs requiring reprogrammability.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible upgrades within the A40MX02 series or higher-density variants like A40MX04 if additional logic resources are needed. Verify that any substitute maintains the PLCC-44 package and compatible voltage specifications.
