Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Microchip channels due to discontinuation status. Confirm RoHS compliance and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) handling requirements during storage and assembly. Review Product Change Notices for any manufacturing site updates affecting this specific part number.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 14,000 system gates and 101 I/Os are required in a 160-pin QFP package. Ensure design compatibility with 3.3V or 5V logic levels. Consider the end-of-life status and plan for long-term supply alternatives if production longevity is critical.

Part Context

This component belongs to the A42MX09 family within the broader 40MX/42MX FPGA portfolio. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the series but is distinguished by its specific gate count and package configuration. The MX series is known for high reliability and radiation tolerance in embedded applications.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Due to the discontinued status, engineers should evaluate newer Microchip FPGA families or equivalent parts from other manufacturers based on pinout and functional compatibility.
