A42MX09-TQG176M

Overview

The A42MX09-TQG176M is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microchip MX series. It features 336 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and approximately 14,000 system gates. The device supports up to 104 user-programmable I/O pins and operates with mixed-voltage capabilities for both core and I/O supplies. Key electrical parameters include a maximum clock frequency of 70.2 MHz and a CLB-maximum combinational delay of 3.5 ns. It is housed in a 176-pin TQFP package.

Feature Summary

• Functions as a single-chip ASIC alternative with high capacity logic resources.
• Supports mixed-voltage operation allowing flexible integration with various interface standards.
• Enables deterministic timing through user-controllable resource utilization and pin locking.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable programmable logic.
• Automotive electronics applications compatible with specified temperature ranges.
• Military and aerospace systems utilizing HiRel certified ceramic packages.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TQG176M' against official Microchip documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with design tools such as Libero SoC. Check for recent Product Change Notices regarding manufacturing or packaging updates before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a mid-range FPGA solution with mixed-voltage I/O support is required. Compare gate counts and I/O limits against similar MX series devices like the A42MX16 if higher density is needed. Confirm that the 176-pin TQFP footprint matches the target PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Actel/Microsemi MX family, now manufactured by Microchip Technology. The MX series is known for non-volatile flash-based FPGA technology, offering instant-on functionality without external configuration memory. This specific model represents a mid-density option within the broader A42MX product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same package may include other variants from the A42MX09 series with different speed grades or temperature ratings. Cross-referencing with the A42MX16 series is possible if higher logic density is acceptable, provided pin compatibility is verified.
