A40MX04-PLG84A

Overview

The A40MX04-PLG84A is a Microchip Technology MX series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) housed in an 84-pin PLCC package. It provides 6,000 system gates and 547 logic elements with 69 I/Os. The device operates at supply voltages of 3V to 3.6V or 4.75V to 5.25V. It supports surface mount installation and functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Acts as a single-chip ASIC alternative for automotive applications
• Features fast wide-decode circuitry for ease of integration
• Supports synthesis-friendly architecture with up to 100% resource utilization

Applications

• Automotive electronic systems requiring ASIC alternatives
• Industrial control logic implementation
• General-purpose digital signal processing tasks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A' against official datasheets to confirm package and voltage compatibility. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to ordering. Check for any active Product Change Notifications regarding assembly sites or software updates that may affect current production batches.

Selection Notes

Select this component when 6,000 system gates and 69 I/Os are required in an 84-pin PLCC form factor. Ensure the design environment supports the MX family architecture. Verify that the target application fits within the commercial temperature range if industrial variants are not needed.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A40MX04 family within the broader MX FPGA portfolio. It shares core architectural features with other members like the A40MX02 and A40MX04-VQG80 but differs in pin count and package type. The PLG84A variant specifically targets applications needing the balance of gate density and I/O availability in a plastic leaded chip carrier format.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other A40MX04 variants such as A40MX04-PLG84I for extended temperature ranges. Cross-family replacements from the A42MX series offer higher gate counts but require pinout and capacity verification.
