A40MX02-PL68M

Overview

The A40MX02-PL68M 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. The device provides 57 Input/Output pins and contains 0 bits of embedded memory. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supporting both 3.3 V and 5 V logic levels. The component is housed in a PLCC-68 package designed for surface mount installation. It supports an industrial operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage operation with 5.0V or 3.3V core and I/O configurations.
• Features fast wide-decode circuitry for high-speed logic processing.
• Enables 100% resource utilization and full pin locking capabilities.

Applications

• High-capacity single-chip ASIC replacement
• Mixed-signal digital logic integration
• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic timing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'M' against official datasheets to confirm if it denotes a military-grade temperature rating or specific qualification standard, as suffixes often indicate environmental or reliability variations within the same logical part number. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during storage and assembly to prevent damage.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact FPGA solution with approximately 3,000 system gates is required in a PLCC-68 package. Ensure the design accommodates the 4.5V to 5.5V supply voltage range and utilizes the available 57 I/O pins. Consider the -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range for environmental compatibility.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A40MX02 series within the broader MX FPGA family offered by Microchip Technology. The series is characterized by flash-based non-volatile technology, allowing for instant-on functionality without external configuration memory. It serves as a flexible programmable logic alternative to fixed-function ASICs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other variants within the A40MX02 series such as A40MX02-PLG68I or A40MX02-VQG80M, provided the package type and temperature grade match the application requirements. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution.
