A40MX04-3PLG84

Overview

The A40MX04-3PLG84 is a field-programmable gate array from the Microchip MX family, featuring 6,000 system gates and 547 logic elements. It provides 69 user-programmable I/O pins within an 84-pin PLCC package. The device supports mixed-voltage operation with core and I/O voltages of 3.3 V or 5 V, operating between 4.5 V and 5.5 V. It functions reliably across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage operation for both core and I/Os at 3.3 V or 5 V levels
• Features deterministic, user-controllable timing for precise design implementation
• Enables up to 100% resource utilization and complete pin locking capabilities

Applications

• Single-chip ASIC replacement in automotive applications
• Industrial control systems requiring robust programmable logic
• Automotive infotainment and body electronics modules

Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer, as production lifecycles may change. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required package type and temperature grade for your design. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check for any recent product discontinuance notifications before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a mid-density FPGA solution is needed for ASIC prototyping or low-volume production. The 6,000-gate capacity suits moderate complexity designs. Verify that the 84-pin PLCC package fits the PCB footprint constraints and that the -40°C to +85°C rating meets environmental requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A40MX04 series within the broader MX FPGA family. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the A40MX02 and A42MX24 but offers distinct gate counts and I/O configurations. The series is designed to provide a cost-effective alternative to custom ASICs while maintaining flexibility.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other variants in the A40MX04 series such as A40MX04-VQG80 or A40MX04-3CQG100, provided the package and temperature grades align. Cross-referencing pinouts and electrical characteristics is essential when considering alternative packages within the same logical family.
