A40MX04-1PL68M

Overview

The A40MX04-1PL68M is a high-capacity Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microchip MX family, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features approximately 547 Logic Elements and 6000 system gates within a 68-pin Plastic Leadless Chip Carrier (PLCC) package. The device supports mixed-voltage operation with supply ranges of 3V to 3.6V and 4.75V to 5.25V. It includes up to 2.5 kbits of configurable dual-port SRAM and offers 57 user-programmable I/O pins. The component operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage core and I/O operation for compatibility with both 3.3V and 5.0V logic levels.
• Provides deterministic, user-controllable timing with 100% resource utilization and pin locking capabilities.
• Integrates fast wide-decode circuitry and configurable dual-port SRAM for efficient data handling.

Applications

• High-capacity single-chip ASIC replacement
• Mixed-voltage interface bridging between different logic families
• Complex digital logic prototyping

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'M' against official Microchip documentation to confirm military-grade qualification or specific packaging variations. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding assembly sites or material updates before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a moderate gate count FPGA with robust I/O flexibility is required. The PLCC package is suitable for through-hole mounting or specific socketed applications. Consider the -1 speed grade if lower maximum clock frequencies are acceptable for cost optimization compared to higher-speed variants in the same series.

Part Context

This component belongs to the A40MX04 series within the broader MX FPGA family. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the A40MX02 and A40MX08, differing primarily in logic density and I/O capacity. The 'M' suffix typically denotes specific environmental or reliability standards distinct from standard commercial grades.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other devices within the A40MX04 series such as the A40MX04-1PLG68 or A40MX04-1PLG68I, provided the package type and temperature range requirements align with the design specifications.
