Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against official Microchip documentation to confirm temperature grade and package variant. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required industrial or commercial specifications. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during storage and assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and high pin count is required in an 80-pin form factor. Consider the VQFP-80 package constraints for PCB layout. Evaluate power consumption profiles for both 3.3V and 5V operating modes to ensure compliance with system thermal budgets.

Part Context

This component belongs to the A40MX04 family, which represents mid-range capacity FPGAs from Microchip's legacy Actel portfolio. These devices are designed for cost-sensitive applications needing reprogrammability without the complexity of larger FPGA families. The VQ80I designation indicates the specific VQFP-80 package and industrial/commercial temperature rating variations within the broader MX series lineup.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other variants within the A40MX04 series such as A40MX04-VQG80I or A40MX04-PLG68I, depending on package and I/O requirements. Cross-family migration may require schematic and bitstream adjustments due to architectural differences in newer Microchip FPGA technologies.
