A40MX04-PQ100

Overview

The A40MX04-PQ100 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microchip Technology MX family, manufactured by Actel. It features 547 Logic Elements and approximately 6,000 system gates within a 100-pin PQFP package. The device supports dual voltage operation with a core supply of 3.3V and I/O levels compatible with 5.0V standards. It operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and includes JTAG boundary scan support for testing.

Feature Summary

• Single-chip FPGA solution designed as a cost-effective alternative to ASICs
• Supports mixed-voltage operation with 3.3V core and 5.0V I/O compatibility
• Includes up to 2.5 kbits of configurable dual-port SRAM
• Features deterministic timing and user-controllable resource utilization

Applications

• High-speed controllers and address decoding
• Peripheral bus interfaces
• DSP and coprocessor functions

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets, as variants like -PQ100M or -PQ100I may differ in temperature grade or speed. Confirm moisture sensitivity level and RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring moderate logic density with mixed 3.3V and 5.0V interface requirements. Ensure the 100-pin PQFP package fits the PCB layout constraints and that the commercial temperature range meets the operational environment specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A40MX series, which consolidates logic previously implemented in multiple PALs, CPLDs, and FPGAs. The MX family is characterized by high performance and low power consumption, offering a flexible platform for prototyping and low-volume production.

Replacement Considerations

Check for suffix variations such as -PQ100M (Military) or -PQ100I (Industrial) if environmental ratings require adjustment. Verify pinout compatibility with existing designs when considering cross-family replacements.
