A42MX09-1VQG100I

Overview

The A42MX09-1VQG100I is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the MX series manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 336 Logic Elements and approximately 14,000 system gates within a 100-pin VQFP package. The device supports mixed-voltage operation with core and I/O supplies ranging from 3.0V to 3.6V or 4.75V to 5.25V. It offers up to 83 user-programmable I/O pins and includes configurable dual-port SRAM. The component operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Single-chip ASIC alternative providing high performance logic consolidation
• Mixed-voltage operation capability for 5.0V or 3.3V core and I/Os
• Supports up to 100% resource utilization and pin locking
• Includes deterministic, user-controllable timing characteristics

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Microchip distributors due to potential obsolescence risks associated with legacy FPGA families. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for specific PCN notifications regarding assembly site changes or software updates before procurement. Ensure storage conditions meet moisture sensitivity level requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring moderate logic density with mixed-voltage compatibility. Compare against other MX series variants based on I/O count and package constraints. Verify that the 100-pin VQFP footprint meets PCB layout requirements and that the commercial temperature range aligns with the target application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Microsemi/Actel 40MX and 42MX FPGA families, which are designed as cost-effective solutions for replacing multiple PALs, CPLDs, and FPGAs. The family emphasizes ease of integration and deterministic timing for embedded logic applications.

Replacement Considerations

Check for official end-of-life notifications. Potential substitutes include other devices within the A42MX09 series with different packages or higher gate counts such as A42MX16, subject to pin compatibility verification.
