A42MX09-1VQ100I

Overview

The A42MX09-1VQ100I is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from the Microchip MX series, designed as a single-chip ASIC alternative. It features approximately 14,000 system gates and 336 configurable logic blocks (CLBs). The device supports mixed-voltage operation with core voltages of 3.3 V or 5 V and I/O supplies compatible with 3.3 V or 5 V standards. It operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is housed in a 100-pin Very Thin Quad Flat Package (VQFP).

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage operation for both core and I/O supplies at 3.3 V or 5 V.
• Provides deterministic, user-controllable timing with up to 100% resource utilization.
• Enables full pin locking capabilities for fixed signal routing.

Applications

• Single-chip ASIC replacement designs
• Industrial control systems
• Automotive electronics applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '1' against official datasheets to confirm voltage and speed grade specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements for your assembly process. Ensure the VQFP-100 package dimensions match your PCB footprint constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-gate-count FPGA with mixed-voltage I/O flexibility is required. The VQFP-100 package offers a compact surface-mount solution suitable for space-constrained designs. Consider the MX series architecture for applications requiring deterministic timing and high pin-locking ratios compared to standard logic families.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A42MX09 family within the broader MX FPGA portfolio. The family is characterized by flash-based non-volatile technology, allowing instant-on functionality without external configuration memory. It serves as a bridge between discrete logic and complex programmable devices, offering reprogrammability with ASIC-like performance characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other variants within the A42MX09 family, such as the A42MX09-PQG100I or A42MX09-FPQG100I, provided the package type and electrical specifications align with the design requirements. Verify pin compatibility and thermal performance when cross-referencing different package options.
