A42MX09-PQG144

Overview

The A42MX09-PQG144 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the MX series, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 336 Logic Elements and approximately 14,000 system gates. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V and supports up to 95 I/O pins. It is housed in a PQFP-144 surface-mount package. The component is rated for an industrial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Acts as a single-chip ASIC alternative with high capacity logic resources.
• Supports mixed-voltage operation for core and I/O interfaces.
• Enables deterministic timing through user-controllable delay paths.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring programmable logic.
• Automotive electronics applications.
• Military-grade embedded processing solutions.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level and manufacturing date code upon receipt, as this part may be subject to limited availability or discontinuation status. Confirm RoHS compliance documentation matches current regulatory requirements for your region. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity level specifications to prevent package damage during soldering processes.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a dense FPGA solution with 14K gates is required in a QFP-144 package. Consider the 5V operating voltage constraint compared to lower-voltage alternatives. Evaluate pin count requirements against the available 95 I/Os to ensure sufficient connectivity for the target design without excessive unused resources.

Part Context

This component belongs to the A42MX09 series of Flash-based FPGAs. The series offers non-volatile configuration memory, allowing immediate operation upon power-up without external configuration devices. It bridges the gap between complex CPLDs and larger FPGAs, providing flexibility for mid-density logic designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other members of the A42MX family with compatible pinouts, such as the A42MX08 or A42MX22 variants, provided gate counts meet design needs. Verify package compatibility and electrical characteristics before swapping components in existing hardware layouts.
