A40MX04-VQ80A

Overview

The A40MX04-VQ80A is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from the Microchip MX series, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 547 logic elements and approximately 6000 system gates with zero embedded memory bits. The device provides 69 input/output pins and operates on supply voltages ranging from 4.5 V to 5.5 V. It is housed in a VQFP-80 surface-mount package and supports an industrial operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• SRAM-based non-volatile configuration architecture for flexible reprogramming
• Supports high-speed synchronous and asynchronous I/O standards
• Integrated JTAG interface for boundary scan testing and programming

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring wide temperature tolerance
• Automotive electronics applications
• Communication protocol conversion interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against official Microchip documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to assembly planning. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required package variant and temperature grade.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a moderate density FPGA with 69 I/Os is required for designs needing extended industrial temperature ranges. Compare against other MX series variants based on specific logic element counts and package constraints. Verify voltage domain requirements align with the specified 4.5 V to 5.5 V operating range.

Part Context

This device belongs to the Actel MX family of SRAM-based FPGAs, which are known for low power consumption and high reliability. The MX series is widely used in aerospace, defense, and industrial markets due to its radiation tolerance options and robust manufacturing processes under the Microchip portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same package and pinout include the A40MX04-VQG80A or A40MX04-VQ80I if temperature grades differ. Cross-family migration may require schematic and layout modifications.
