A40MX02-PLG68I

Overview

The A40MX02-PLG68I is a field-programmable gate array from the Microchip MX series, featuring 295 logic elements and approximately 3000 system gates. It provides 57 input/output pins within a PLCC-68 surface-mount package. The device operates on dual voltage supplies of 3.3 V and 5 V, with specified ranges of 4.5 V to 5.5 V for the 5V domain. It supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The component includes moisture sensitivity labeling and utilizes flash-based non-volatile configuration technology.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile architecture enabling instant-on functionality without external configuration memory.
• Supports both 3.3 V and 5 V power supply domains for flexible interface compatibility.
• Industrial-grade temperature rating suitable for demanding operational environments.

Applications

• General-purpose programmable logic replacement for discrete components.
• Interface bridging between different voltage domains in embedded systems.
• Simple state machine implementation in industrial control circuits.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) against the official datasheet. Confirm the PLCC-68 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint. Check current RoHS compliance status as regulatory requirements may evolve. Ensure design-in documentation references the correct Actel/Microchip branding history.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 295 logic elements and 57 I/Os are sufficient for the design. Compare against the A40MX02-1PLG68I if commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) is acceptable, potentially affecting cost. Consider the A40MX04 variant if higher logic density is required. Verify voltage level compatibility for all connected peripherals.

Part Context

This component belongs to the A40MX family of flash-based FPGAs originally developed by Actel and now manufactured by Microchip Technology. The PLG68 designation indicates a 68-pin Plastic Leadless Chip Carrier package. This series is designed for low-power, high-reliability applications requiring immediate operation upon power-up.

Replacement Considerations

The A40MX02-1PLG68I is a verified alternative offering the same logical capacity and pinout but rated for commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C). Ensure thermal constraints allow for this substitution. No other direct pin-compatible substitutes are documented in the provided data.
