A40MX02-PQ100

Overview

The A40MX02-PQ100 is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from the Microchip Technology MX series. It features 295 configurable logic blocks and approximately 3,000 equivalent gates. The device operates with supply voltages of 3V to 3.6V or 4.75V to 5.25V. It provides 57 I/O pins within a 100-pin PQFP package. The standard commercial temperature range is 0°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Non-volatile flash-based architecture for instant-on operation without external configuration memory
• Supports in-system programming and reconfiguration capabilities
• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers for communication applications

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable programmable logic
• Communication interface adapters and protocol converters
• Consumer electronics peripheral management

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Microchip documentation to confirm voltage range and temperature grade. Confirm package availability as distribution channels may vary. Check for RoHS compliance status relevant to your region's regulations before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small-scale FPGA with non-volatile configuration is required. Ensure the design fits within the 295 CLB limit. Verify that the 100-pin PQFP footprint matches the PCB layout constraints. Consider power consumption differences between 3V and 5V operating modes during system design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Actel MX family, known for flash-based FPGAs. It serves as a legacy solution for low-density logic applications. The product line has been integrated into Microchip Technology's portfolio following their acquisition of Actel. It competes with other small-scale CPLDs and FPGAs in industrial markets.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are limited due to proprietary architecture. Review Microchip's current MXL or PolarFire Lite families for modern equivalents. Ensure compatibility with existing programming tools and bitstream formats when considering upgrades.
