A42MX09-1PQ160M

Overview

The A42MX09-1PQ160M is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from the Microchip MX series, featuring 14,000 system gates and 101 user-programmable I/O pins. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3V to 3.6V or 4.75V to 5.25V and supports surface-mount installation in a 160-pin PQFP package. The device provides mixed-voltage operation for core and I/Os with PCI-compliant interfaces, deterministic timing, and up to 100% resource utilization and pin locking capabilities.

Feature Summary

• High-capacity single-chip ASIC alternative with up to 100% resource utilization and pin locking
• Mixed-voltage operation supporting both 5.0V and 3.3V for core and I/Os with PCI compliance
• Deterministic, user-controllable timing with unique in-system diagnostic and verification capability

Applications

• High capacity single-chip ASIC replacement
• PCI-compliant interface designs
• Systems requiring deterministic timing and in-system diagnostics

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Microchip distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for any relevant Product Change Notices (PCN) regarding assembly sites or software updates prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring 14,000 system gates and mixed-voltage I/O support. Ensure the design accommodates the 160-pin PQFP footprint and validates power supply requirements against the specified voltage ranges.

Part Context

This component belongs to the 40MX and 42MX FPGA families, which offer scalable logic resources ranging from 3,000 to 54,000 system gates. The family supports configurable dual-port SRAM and fast wide-decode circuitry for complex logic implementations.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for compatible MX series variants. Verify pinout compatibility and logic density requirements when considering alternative packages within the same family.
