A42MX16-1VQ100M

Overview

The A42MX16-1VQ100M is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microchip MX series, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 24,000 system gates and 608 Logic Elements within a 100-VQFP package. The device supports dual voltage operation with a supply range of 3V to 3.6V for the core and 4.5V to 5.5V for I/Os. It includes up to 2.5 kbits of configurable dual-port SRAM and offers 83 user-programmable I/O pins. The component operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-capacity logic density as a single-chip ASIC alternative with up to 24,000 system gates.
• Integrates fast wide-decode circuitry and configurable dual-port SRAM for complex control applications.
• Supports mixed-voltage operation allowing flexible interface compatibility with 3.3V and 5.0V systems.

Applications

• High-speed controllers and peripheral bus interfaces
• Address decoding and DSP co-processor functions
• Replacement for multiple PALs, CPLDs, and FPGAs in consolidated designs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'M' against official Microchip documentation to confirm material composition or environmental compliance status. Ensure the selected package variant matches the required thermal and mechanical specifications for the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a cost-effective solution replacing multiple discrete programmable logic devices is required. Consider the 100-VQFP package constraints and verify that the 83 available I/O pins meet the interface requirements without exceeding the 24,000 gate capacity.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Microchip 40MX and 42MX FPGA families, which are designed to offer high performance while shortening system design cycles. These devices consolidate logic typically implemented in multiple legacy programmable logic technologies into a single chip architecture.
