A42MX09-2VQG100I

Overview

The A42MX09-2VQG100I is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the MX series, manufactured by Microchip Technology under the Actel brand. It features 336 Logic Elements and approximately 14,000 system gates. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports mixed-voltage I/O configurations at 3.3 V or 5.0 V. It provides 83 user-programmable I/O pins and is housed in a 100-pin VQFP package. The component is rated for an industrial operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Single-chip ASIC alternative offering high performance with up to 14,000 system gates
• Supports mixed-voltage operation for core and I/Os, including PCI-compliant interfaces
• Enables deterministic, user-controllable timing with up to 100% resource utilization and pin locking

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '2V' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm voltage and temperature ratings. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 100-VQFP package. Check for RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and handling.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a cost-effective 5V solution is required for logic consolidation replacing PALs, CPLDs, or older FPGAs. Consider the 83 I/O count and 336 LE capacity for moderate complexity designs. Verify that the 4.5V to 5.5V core voltage aligns with the system power architecture.

Part Context

This component belongs to the A42MX09 series within the broader 40MX and 42MX FPGA families. These devices are designed as single-chip solutions to shorten development cycles. The family generally offers configurable dual-port SRAM and fast wide-decode circuitry for various embedded logic applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other variants within the A42MX09 series, such as A42MX09-FPQG100I, provided the package type and electrical specifications match the design requirements.
