A42MX16-1PQG100

Overview

The A42MX16-1PQG100 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microchip Technology A42MX family. It features 295 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and approximately 2,000 system gates. The device supports a maximum clock frequency of 48.24 MHz with a CLB propagation delay of 3.72 ns. It is housed in a 100-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP). The component operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and requires a supply voltage between 4.5 V and 5.5 V.

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage operation for core and I/Os at 5.0V or 3.3V levels
• Provides up to 2.5 kbits of configurable dual-port SRAM
• Enables deterministic timing through user-controllable logic locking

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic timing
• Automotive electronics applications
• Military-grade embedded logic solutions

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix against official Microchip documentation to ensure the device meets the required timing constraints for your design. Confirm that the PQFP-100 package is compatible with your PCB footprint and assembly processes. Check current product status to confirm active manufacturing availability before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a high-density FPGA solution with robust radiation tolerance and wide operating temperature ranges is required. Ensure the design utilizes the available 295 CLBs efficiently. Verify that the 100-pin QFP package fits the mechanical constraints of the target enclosure and board layout.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A42MX series of flash-based FPGAs, designed as single-chip ASIC alternatives. The series offers high capacity ranging from 3,000 to 54,000 system gates. These devices are known for their non-volatile configuration memory and support for mixed-voltage I/O standards, making them suitable for complex logic replacement tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other variants within the A42MX16 family such as the A42MX16-2PQG100I or A42MX16-PQG100I, provided the speed grade and temperature rating align with system requirements. Cross-reference pinouts and electrical characteristics carefully.
