A40MX04-1PL84M

Overview

The A40MX04-1PL84M is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from the Microchip MX family, designed as a high-capacity single-chip ASIC alternative. It features 6,000 system gates and 547 logic elements within a 68-pin PLCC package. The device operates on mixed-voltage supplies of 3V to 3.6V or 4.75V to 5.25V, supporting both core and I/O configurations. It includes up to 2.5 kbits of configurable dual-port SRAM and supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary scan testing for verification.

Feature Summary

• Provides deterministic, user-controllable timing with up to 100% resource utilization and pin fixing capabilities.
• Supports mixed-voltage operation for core and I/Os, enabling compatibility with PCI-compliant interfaces.
• Includes unique in-system diagnostic capability via Silicon Explorer II technology.

Applications

• Automotive applications requiring single-chip ASIC alternatives
• Industrial control systems needing deterministic timing
• Military and aerospace environments utilizing HiRel plastic packages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'M' against official Microchip documentation to confirm it denotes military temperature range or specific qualification standards, as standard commercial variants typically lack this designation. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) prior to procurement. Ensure the source document explicitly validates the 'M' suffix functionality to avoid substitution errors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when 6,000 system gates and 57 user-programmable I/O pins are required in a surface-mount PLCC package. Consider the MX family architecture for synthesis-friendly design methodologies and fast wide-decode circuitry. Evaluate the mixed-voltage supply requirements against the target system's power rails before finalizing the selection.
