A42MX16-1VQG100M

Overview

The A42MX16-1VQG100M 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 mixed-voltage operation with supply ranges of 3V to 3.6V and 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

• Supports mixed-voltage operation for both core and I/Os, enabling compatibility with 5.0V or 3.3V systems.
• Offers deterministic, user-controllable timing with up to 100% resource utilization and pin locking capabilities.
• Includes unique in-system diagnostic and verification capability through Silicon Explorer II.

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'M' against official Microchip documentation to confirm if it denotes a military-grade variant or specific packaging configuration, as standard commercial variants typically use different suffixes. Ensure the ordering information matches the exact voltage and temperature ratings required for the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-chip ASIC alternative is needed for designs requiring up to 24,000 system gates. It is suitable for applications consolidating logic previously implemented in multiple PALs, CPLDs, or FPGAs. Consider the 100-VQFP package constraints and the specific mixed-voltage requirements of the interface circuits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 40MX and 42MX FPGA families, which are designed as cost-effective solutions at 5V. These devices provide high performance while shortening system design and development cycles. The family allows integration of logic that would otherwise require multiple discrete programmable logic devices.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other parts within the A42MX16 series with compatible packages, such as A42MX16-VQG100A or A42MX16-VQG100M. Verify pinout and electrical specifications before substitution.
