A42MX09-PQG100

Overview

The A42MX09-PQG100 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 within a 100-pin PQFP package. The device supports mixed-voltage operation with core and I/O supplies of 3.3V or 5V. Electrical specifications include a maximum clock frequency of 70.2 MHz and a CLB maximum combinational delay of 3.5 ns. It operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage operation for both core and I/O supplies at 3.3V or 5V levels.
• Provides deterministic, user-controllable timing with up to 100% resource utilization and pin locking capabilities.
• Functions as a high-capacity single-chip ASIC alternative with configurable dual-port SRAM.

Applications

• Single-chip ASIC replacement designs
• Mixed-voltage interface logic implementation
• Deterministic timing control applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Microchip documentation to confirm package type and electrical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with design tools supporting the Actel/Microsemi FPGA architecture. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer declarations rather than assuming standard packaging attributes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-gate-count FPGA with mixed-voltage I/O support is required. The PQFP-100 package suits surface-mount assembly processes. Verify that the 70.2 MHz performance meets system timing requirements. Consider the commercial temperature range suitability for the target environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A42MX09 series within the broader 40MX and 42MX FPGA families. These devices are designed for cost-effective prototyping and low-volume production. The series offers a transition path from discrete logic to programmable solutions while maintaining pin-compatible options across gate counts.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other A42MX09 variants such as A42MX09-FPQG100I for industrial temperature ranges. Check for pin-compatible upgrades like the A42MX16 series if additional logic resources are needed later in the design cycle.
