A40MX04-3PQG100

Overview

The A40MX04-3PQG100 is a field-programmable gate array from the Microchip MX series, housed in a PQFP-100 surface-mount package. It features 547 logic elements and approximately 6000 system gates, supporting up to 69 I/O pins. The device operates at supply voltages of 3.3 V or 5 V, with specific ranges of 4.75 V to 5.25 V for the 5 V mode. It is rated for commercial temperatures between 0°C and +70°C. The component includes non-volatile flash configuration memory and supports JTAG boundary scan testing.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes non-volatile flash technology for instant-on operation without external configuration devices.
• Supports both 3.3 V and 5 V power domains for flexible interface compatibility.
• Includes built-in JTAG boundary scan capability for manufacturing test and debugging.
• Features high-density programmable interconnects suitable for complex logic applications.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable logic processing
• Automotive electronics interfaces and monitoring circuits
• Consumer appliance logic controllers
• Communication equipment signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '3' indicates the correct speed grade and temperature range for your design requirements. Confirm package authenticity and moisture sensitivity handling procedures upon receipt. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact pinout and electrical specifications required by the schematic. Check for any recent product change notifications regarding assembly sites or materials.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a moderate logic density with 547 LEs is sufficient for the application. Consider the PQFP-100 package if board space allows for larger footprints compared to BGA options. Verify that the 5 V I/O tolerance meets the voltage levels of connected peripherals. Evaluate thermal management needs within the 0°C to +70°C operating range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A40MX family, which represents Actel's flash-based FPGA architecture acquired by Microchip. These devices are known for their low power consumption and security features due to non-volatile configuration. The A40MX04 variant offers a balance of performance and cost for mid-range logic applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other variants in the A40MX04 series with different packages, such as A40MX04-VQG80 for QFN packaging. Cross-family migration to PolarFire or IGLOO may be necessary for advanced features, though pinouts and tools will differ significantly.
