A40MX02-PQ100A

Overview

The A40MX02-PQ100A is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from the Microchip Technology MX series, manufactured under the Actel brand. It features 295 logic elements and approximately 3,000 system gates, housed in a 100-pin PQFP package with 57 available I/O lines. The device operates on dual voltage supplies of 3.3 V and 5 V, with specific supply ranges of 4.75 V to 5.25 V for the 5 V rail. It supports surface-mount installation and functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. The component exhibits moisture sensitivity level 3 and requires reflow soldering procedures compliant with J-STD-020 standards.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes flash-based non-volatile technology for instant-on operation without external configuration memory.
• Supports both 3.3 V and 5 V power domains for flexible interface compatibility.
• Integrates high-density programmable interconnects for complex logic routing.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable logic processing.
• Automotive electronics interfaces operating at 5 V.
• Consumer appliance logic controllers.

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against official Microchip documentation to confirm pinout and electrical specifications. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and REACH regulations before integration. Confirm moisture sensitivity handling requirements during storage and assembly to prevent package damage during reflow processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring moderate logic density with immediate power-up functionality. Compare against the A40MX02-1VQG80 for smaller footprint needs or the A42MX09 series for higher capacity. Validate that the 100-pin PQFP package fits the PCB layout constraints and thermal management requirements of the target application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A40MX family of flash FPGAs, which succeeded the classic Actel RTAX and ProASIC lines. The MX series is characterized by its non-volatile flash architecture, eliminating the need for boot PROMs. It serves as a drop-in replacement for many legacy CPLD and ASIC applications in industrial and automotive sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible substitutes include other variants within the A40MX02 series such as the A40MX02-1VQG80 or A40MX02-FVQ100B, provided the package type matches. Cross-referencing with the A42MX09 series may offer higher performance but requires design adaptation due to different logic densities and pinouts.
