A40MX04-3PLG68

Overview

The A40MX04-3PLG68 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microchip MX family, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 547 Logic Elements and approximately 6,000 system gates within a PLCC-68 package. The device supports mixed-voltage operation with supply voltages of 3.3V or 5.0V for core and I/Os. It operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The FPGA includes up to 2.5 kbits of configurable dual-port SRAM and offers deterministic timing with user-controllable resource utilization.

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage operation allowing 5.0V or 3.3V supply configurations for both core logic and I/O pins.
• Provides deterministic, user-controllable timing with up to 100% resource utilization and pin locking capabilities.
• Integrates configurable dual-port SRAM for efficient data buffering and processing tasks.

Applications

• High-capacity single-chip ASIC replacement
• Mixed-signal system integration
• Industrial control logic

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix '3' against official datasheets to confirm maximum clock frequency and propagation delay specifications. Ensure the PLCC-68 package type matches the target PCB footprint requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to assembly planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a moderate gate count with mixed-voltage compatibility is required. Compare against other MX series variants if higher performance or different package options are needed. Verify that the 547 LE capacity meets the design complexity without excessive overhead.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A40MX04 series within the broader MX FPGA family. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the series but differs in package type and speed grade. The PLCC-68 variant is designed for surface-mount applications requiring a compact form factor.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other A40MX04 variants with different packages such as A40MX04-VQG80 or A40MX04-PLG44I, provided pin counts and thermal requirements align. Cross-reference speed grades carefully to ensure timing closure.
