Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '2T' corresponds to the required speed grade and commercial temperature range during procurement. Confirm the 176-TQFP package availability matches the PCB footprint requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if applicable to the target market regulations.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 14K system gates and 104 I/Os are sufficient for the design. Compare against the A42MX24 variant if higher gate counts are needed. Verify that the 4.75V to 5.25V supply voltage aligns with the system power rails. Consider the TQFP package constraints for board space and thermal management.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A42MX09 family within the broader MX FPGA portfolio. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the A42MX09-FTQG176 but differs in speed grade and package type. The family is characterized by its Flash technology, distinguishing it from SRAM-based FPGAs that require external configuration.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Evaluate the A42MX09-FTQG176 for potential pin-compatible alternatives if speed grades differ. Consult official Microchip resources for current lifecycle status and recommended replacements.
