A40MX04-2PL68I

Overview

The A40MX04-2PL68I is a field-programmable gate array from the Microchip MX family, designed as a high-capacity single-chip ASIC alternative. It features 547 logic elements and approximately 6,000 system gates within a PLCC-68 surface-mount package. The device supports mixed-voltage operation with supply voltage ranges of 3.3V or 5.0V for core and I/Os. It operates reliably across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage operation for both core and I/Os at 3.3V or 5.0V levels
• Provides up to 100% resource utilization and pin locking capabilities
• Features deterministic, user-controllable timing characteristics

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust programmable logic
• Automotive applications utilizing plastic packages
• General-purpose digital logic replacement for ASICs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) against the official datasheet. Confirm the PLCC-68 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding assembly sites or material composition updates.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a moderate logic density of 6,000 system gates is required in a compact PLCC-68 form factor. Ensure the design utilizes either 3.3V or 5.0V power rails consistently, as the device supports mixed-voltage I/O configurations. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified industrial temperature limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A40MX04 series within the broader MX FPGA family. It shares architectural similarities with other variants like the A40MX04-PLG68I but differs in package type and speed grade. The series is known for providing non-volatile flash-based configuration without external memory requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other members of the A40MX04 family such as the A40MX04-PLG68I or A40MX04-VQG80, provided the package and pinout compatibility are verified. Cross-family replacements require careful review of logic capacity and I/O constraints.
