A42MX16-1VQG100

Overview

The A42MX16-1VQG100 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-pin VQFP package. The device supports dual voltage operation with a core supply of 3V to 3.6V and I/O supplies of 4.5V to 5.5V. It provides 83 user-programmable I/O pins and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. The component is RoHS compliant and classified under ECCN 3A991D.

Feature Summary

• Single-chip ASIC alternative capable of consolidating logic previously implemented in multiple PALs, CPLDs, and FPGAs.
• Supports mixed-voltage operation for both core and I/O domains, ensuring compatibility with PCI-compliant interfaces.
• Includes up to 2.5 kbits of configurable dual-port SRAM for embedded memory applications.
• Features deterministic, user-controllable timing and high resource utilization capabilities.

Applications

• High-speed controllers
• Address decoding systems
• Peripheral bus interfaces
• DSP functions
• Co-processor implementations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '1' against official datasheets to confirm the speed grade and commercial/industrial temperature rating. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding assembly sites or material changes before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a single-chip solution is required to replace multiple discrete programmable logic devices. Ensure the design utilizes the available 83 I/O pins and fits within the 24,000 gate capacity. Verify that the 100-VQFP package dimensions are compatible with the target PCB layout and thermal requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Microchip A42MX16 family, which offers high-performance FPGA solutions at 5V. The MX series is designed to shorten system design cycles by integrating high-capacity logic and fast wide-decode circuitry into a single chip, serving as a direct replacement for legacy complex programmable logic devices.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible pin-compatible alternatives within the same package include the A42MX16-VQG100A and A42MX16-VQG100M. Verify that the speed grade of the substitute matches the system timing requirements, as different suffixes may indicate variations in maximum clock frequency.
