A40MX02-VQ80

Overview

The A40MX02-VQ80 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microchip Technology MX series, manufactured by Microsemi. It features 295 Logic Elements and approximately 3,000 system gates. The device provides 57 Input/Output pins and operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V for the core, with support for mixed-voltage I/O at 3.3 V or 5.0 V. It is housed in a VQFP-80 surface-mount package and supports commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage operation allowing 5.0V or 3.3V core and I/O configurations.
• Features deterministic, user-controllable timing with up to 100% resource utilization and pin locking.
• Includes unique in-system diagnostic and verification capability via Silicon Explorer II.

Applications

• High-capacity single-chip ASIC replacement
• Mixed-signal system integration
• Industrial control logic

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against official datasheets, as standard nomenclature typically includes an additional character for package type (e.g., VQG80). Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) prior to ordering. Ensure the specific variant matches the required operating temperature range and package dimensions for your PCB layout.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact FPGA solution with mixed-voltage I/O capabilities is required. Verify that the 57 available I/O pins meet interface requirements. Consider the VQFP-80 package constraints for board space. Check if the 3K gate count suffices for the target logic complexity compared to higher-density MX series alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Actel/Microsemi MX family of SRAM-based FPGAs. These devices are designed as low-power, high-performance alternatives to complex PLDs and small ASICs. The MX series is known for its fast time-to-market and ease of use in embedded applications requiring moderate logic density.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include other variants in the A40MX02 series with different packages, such as A40MX02-PLG68I or A40MX02-PQG100. For higher capacity, consider the A40MX04 series, though pin counts and logic resources will differ significantly.
