A40MX02-VQG80

Overview

The A40MX02-VQG80 is a Field Programmable Gate Array from the Microchip A40MX02 series, featuring 295 Logic Elements and approximately 3,000 system gates. It provides 57 I/O pins within an 80-pin VQFP package. The device operates on a supply voltage ranging from 4.75 V to 5.25 V, supporting both 3.3 V and 5 V core and I/O configurations. It functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. This SRAM-based FPGA offers high resource utilization and deterministic timing for mixed-voltage applications.

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage operation with 3.3 V or 5.0 V core and I/O supplies
• Enables 100% resource utilization and full pin locking capabilities
• Features fast wide-decode circuitry for efficient logic implementation
• Includes unique in-system diagnostic and verification capability

Applications

• High capacity single-chip ASIC replacement designs
• Mixed-voltage interface bridging between different logic families
• Prototyping for digital signal processing and control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm package type and temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before integration. Check for humidity sensitivity handling requirements during storage and assembly. Ensure design tools support the A40MX family architecture for proper configuration file generation.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 295 logic elements and 57 I/O pins are sufficient for the target design. Choose the VQG80 package for surface-mount applications requiring a compact footprint. Verify that the operating environment remains within the 0°C to +70°C commercial range. Consider the A40MX04 variant if higher gate counts or additional I/O resources are required.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Actel MX FPGA family, now managed by Microchip Technology. These devices utilize SRAM technology for reprogrammability. The A40MX02 represents the entry-level density in the 3K system gate segment. It serves as a direct drop-in replacement for many complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) in legacy designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same series include the A40MX02-PLG68I, which uses a PLCC-68 package. For higher density needs, the A40MX04-VQG80 offers increased logic resources in the identical VQFP-80 package. Verify electrical characteristics match when substituting across different package types.
