A40MX04-2PLG44

Overview

The A40MX04-2PLG44 is a field-programmable gate array from the Microchip MX series, featuring 547 logic elements and approximately 6,000 system gates. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V and supports standard 3.3 V and 5 V I/O levels. The device is housed in a PLCC-44 surface-mount package with 34 available input/output pins. It functions reliably across a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. This FPGA utilizes flash technology for non-volatile configuration, eliminating the need for external configuration memory.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based architecture provides instant-on capability without external configuration devices
• Supports mixed-voltage operation for both core and I/O interfaces
• Enables 100% resource utilization and pin locking for deterministic timing

Applications

• High-capacity single-chip ASIC replacement designs
• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic logic performance
• Automotive electronic modules operating in commercial temperature environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official Microchip documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current datasheets as manufacturing processes may evolve. Check for active production status or obsolescence notices before finalizing component selection for long-term projects.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact 44-pin form factor is required for moderate logic density applications. Ensure the design environment supports the MX series toolchain for programming and verification. Consider the PLCC-44 footprint constraints during PCB layout planning to accommodate the specified lead style.

Part Context

This component belongs to the A40MX04 family, which offers scalable logic resources ranging from 3,000 to 54,000 system gates. The family is designed to replace complex discrete logic or custom ASICs in various embedded applications. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the A40MX02 and A40MX08, differing primarily in gate count and I/O availability.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other variants within the A40MX04 family such as A40MX04-1PLG44 or A40MX04-PLG44I, provided the speed grade and temperature range meet system requirements.
