• Supports high-density logic implementation with over 6,000 system gates within a compact package.
• Integrated JTAG interface for boundary scan testing and in-system programming capabilities.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable logic processing.
• Automotive electronics applications needing robust performance.
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment.
• Consumer electronic devices utilizing programmable logic.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'FPQ' against official Microchip documentation to confirm pinout and package dimensions, as variations exist within the MX family. Ensure compatibility with design tools such as Libero SoC. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current datasheets before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a Flash-based FPGA with instant-on capability is required. Compare I/O counts and gate density against similar parts like the A40MX04-PLG100 if different packaging is preferred. Verify voltage levels match the target application's power supply constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Microsemi/Microchip MX family of Flash FPGAs. These devices are known for their non-volatile configuration storage, eliminating the need for external PROMs. The A40MX04 variant represents a mid-range density option within this lineage, suitable for complex logic designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other variants in the A40MX04 series with different packages or speed grades, such as A40MX04-PLG100 or A40MX04-PQFP100. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution.
