A42MX09-FTQG176

Overview

The A42MX09-FTQG176 is a field-programmable gate array from the Microchip MX family, designed as a single-chip ASIC alternative for automotive applications. It features 14,000 system gates and supports up to 2.5 kbits of configurable dual-port SRAM. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 3V to 3.6V or 4.75V to 5.25V. It utilizes a 176-TQFP (24x24) surface-mount package with 104 I/Os. The component is rated for an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and complies with RoHS3 standards.

Feature Summary

• Provides deterministic, user-controllable timing suitable for safety-critical environments
• Supports 100% resource utilization and pin fixing for direct ASIC design methodology integration
• Includes unique in-system diagnostic capability via Silicon Explorer II technology

Applications

• Automotive electronic control units requiring ASIC alternatives
• Industrial systems demanding deterministic timing and high reliability
• Safety-critical logic implementations with strict pin-fixing requirements

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix FTQG176 against official Microchip documentation to confirm the 176-TQFP package and commercial temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 24x24 mm form factor. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status through current manufacturer declarations prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 14k system gates and 104 I/Os are required in a 176-pin QFP package. Consider the MX family architecture if deterministic timing and full pin fixation are necessary. Evaluate power consumption constraints against the specified 3V or 5V operating ranges before finalizing the design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Microchip A42MX09 series, part of the broader MX FPGA family. These devices are positioned as low-power, non-volatile SRAM-based FPGAs intended to replace complex discrete logic or custom ASICs in cost-sensitive and space-constrained applications.
