A42MX09-FPQ100

Overview

The A42MX09-FPQ100 is a Flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Microchip Technology under the Actel brand. It features 336 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs), 684 logic cells, and an equivalent gate count of 14,000 gates. The device supports up to 104 user-programmable I/O pins and operates with a maximum clock frequency of 70.2 MHz. It utilizes CMOS technology and is housed in a PQFP-100 plastic package. The component supports mixed-voltage operation for both core and I/O supplies, allowing compatibility with 5.0V or 3.3V systems.

Feature Summary

• Single-chip ASIC alternative capability with high resource utilization and deterministic timing
• Mixed-voltage operation supporting 5.0V or 3.3V core and I/O supplies with PCI-compliant I/Os
• Supports 100% pin locking and resource utilization for flexible design integration

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic timing
• Automotive electronics applications
• Military and aerospace embedded systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm package type and temperature range. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check moisture sensitivity levels before assembly. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as lead times may vary based on manufacturing schedules.

Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring moderate logic density with non-volatile Flash configuration. Compare against higher-density MX series variants if more logic resources are needed. Verify that the PQFP-100 package fits the PCB footprint constraints and thermal requirements of the target application environment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Microchip A42MX09 series, which provides Flash-based FPGA solutions. The series is designed to replace complex ASICs and CPLDs in various applications. It offers reprogrammability and low power consumption characteristics typical of Flash technology.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other part numbers within the A42MX09 family with different package options such as PLCC-84 or TQFP-176. Higher capacity alternatives like the A42MX16 series offer increased logic resources while maintaining similar interface characteristics.
