A42MX09-2PQG100

Overview

The A42MX09-2PQG100 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microchip MX series. It features 336 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs), 684 logic cells, and an equivalent of 14,000 system gates. The device supports up to 104 user-programmable I/O pins and operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V for the core and I/Os. It is housed in a 100-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP-100). The maximum operating frequency is specified at 70.2 MHz with a CLB combinational delay of 3.5 ns. The component is rated for commercial temperature operation between 0°C and 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-capacity single-chip ASIC alternative capabilities with up to 14,000 system gates.
• Supports mixed-voltage operation allowing flexible integration with 5.0V or 3.3V systems.
• Includes deterministic, user-controllable timing and up to 100% pin locking resources.

Applications

• Replacement for complex discrete logic circuits in industrial control systems
• Prototyping for custom ASIC designs requiring moderate gate counts
• Interface bridging in mixed-signal embedded applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '2' against official Microchip documentation to confirm it denotes the commercial temperature grade variant. Confirm package integrity upon receipt as the PQFP-100 is sensitive to moisture. Check for RoHS compliance status as manufacturing sites may vary over time.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a dense logic solution is required in a 100-pin footprint. Compare against the A42MX09-FPQG100I if industrial temperature ranges (-40°C to 85°C) are necessary instead of the commercial grade found in this part. Ensure the design utilizes the full 104 I/O capability available in this package.

Part Context

This component belongs to the 40MX and 42MX FPGA families originally developed by Actel and acquired by Microsemi, now Microchip Technology. These devices utilize flash-based non-volatile technology, allowing instant power-up configuration without external memory components.

Replacement Considerations

The A42MX09-FPQG100I is a functional substitute within the same family but offers an extended industrial temperature range. Verify pin compatibility and thermal requirements before swapping between commercial and industrial grades.
