A42MX16-1PQ208I

Overview

The A42MX16-1PQ208I is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microchip MX series, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 54,000 system gates and 608 Logic Elements within a 208-PQFP package. The device supports supply voltages of 3V to 3.6V and 4.75V to 5.25V, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It includes 2560 bits of embedded RAM and provides 140 user-programmable I/O pins.

Feature Summary

• Single-chip ASIC alternative integrating logic previously requiring multiple PALs, CPLDs, or FPGAs.
• Supports mixed-voltage operation for core and I/Os, including PCI-compliant interfaces.
• Enables up to 100% resource utilization and deterministic, user-controllable timing.

Applications

• High-speed controllers
• Address decoding
• Peripheral bus interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Microchip distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for Product Change Notifications regarding assembly sites or software updates. Ensure handling procedures account for moisture sensitivity level 3 requirements during storage and reflow soldering processes.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 54,000 system gates and 140 I/Os are required in a 208-pin QFP package. Verify that the -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating meets environmental constraints. Compare against A42MX36 variants if higher gate counts are needed, or A42MX16 non-suffix versions for commercial temperature ranges.
