A40MX04-3VQG80I

Overview

The A40MX04-3VQG80I is a high-performance Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology's MX family. It features approximately 6,000 system gates and 547 Logic Elements (LEs). The device supports dual voltage operation at 3.3V and 5V, with supply voltage ranges of 3.135V to 3.465V for the low range and 4.5V to 5.5V for the high range. It operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The component is housed in an 80-pin VQFN package with exposed pad and contains no embedded memory blocks.

Feature Summary

• Supports non-volatile configuration using FlashFree technology for instant-on functionality without external configuration memory.
• Provides flexible I/O interfaces compatible with multiple logic standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS, and LVDS.
• Integrates dedicated hardware multiplier units to accelerate digital signal processing tasks.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust programmable logic.
• Automotive electronics applications demanding wide temperature tolerance.
• Communication interface adapters and protocol converters.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '3' indicates the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and the 'VQG80' denotes the 80-pin VQFN package. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official Microchip documentation or authorized distributor datasheets prior to ordering. Ensure design compatibility with the specified voltage levels.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and low power consumption is required. Compare against the A40MX04-1 variant if commercial temperature range suffices, or consider higher gate counts in the A40MX series for complex designs. Verify pinout compatibility with existing PCB layouts due to the specific VQFN footprint dimensions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Microsemi (now Microchip) A40MX/42MX family of Flash-based FPGAs. These devices are characterized by their ability to retain configuration data without external memory, simplifying system design. The MX series is widely used in applications where space, power, and reliability are critical constraints.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include other variants of the A40MX04 series such as A40MX04-VQG80I. For upgraded performance, check availability of newer Microchip FPGA families like PolarFire or IGLOO2, though these may require schematic and layout modifications.
