A40MX04-FVQ80

Overview

The A40MX04-FVQ80 is a high-performance Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microchip MX series, designed for complex logic applications. It features approximately 6,000 system gates and 547 Logic Elements (LEs). The device operates with a supply voltage range of 3.0V to 3.6V or 4.75V to 5.25V, supporting both 3.3V and 5V I/O standards. It is housed in an 80-pin FineLine BGA package, providing 69 general-purpose I/O pins. The component supports non-volatile configuration, ensuring data retention without external memory.

Feature Summary

• Non-volatile Flash-based architecture eliminates the need for external configuration memory devices.
• Supports multiple voltage domains including 3.3V and 5V I/O interfaces for mixed-signal compatibility.
• Integrated security features protect intellectual property against unauthorized access.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable programmable logic.
• Automotive electronics utilizing robust FPGA architectures.
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'FVQ80' corresponds to the FineLine BGA-80 package and commercial/industrial temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official Microchip documentation prior to ordering. Ensure design-in reviews account for the specific pinout and power requirements associated with this package variant.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact 80-pin footprint is required alongside moderate logic density. Compare against the PLCC-68 or PQFP-100 variants if different I/O counts or thermal characteristics are needed. Verify that the 69 available I/O pins meet the interface requirements of the target application design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A40MX04 family within the broader Microchip Actel FPGA portfolio. It shares core architectural similarities with other A40MX04 variants but differs in package type and pin count. The family is known for low power consumption and instant-on capabilities due to its Flash technology base.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other A40MX04 variants such as A40MX04-VQG80 or A40MX04-PLG68, depending on package constraints. Cross-referencing pinouts is essential as package changes may alter I/O mapping. Consult Microchip PCN documents for any obsolescence notices regarding older Actel-branded parts.
