A42MX16-2PQG160I

Overview

The A42MX16-2PQG160I is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microchip MX family, featuring 24,000 system gates and 608 Logic Elements. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V and supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. The device provides 125 I/O pins and is housed in a PQFP-160 surface-mount package. It is classified as a CMOS component with no embedded memory.

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 deterministic, user-controllable timing with up to 100% resource utilization and pin locking

Applications

• High-speed controllers and address decoding
• Peripheral bus interfaces
• DSP and co-processor functions

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' against the official datasheet to confirm industrial temperature rating compliance. Check for Product Change Notifications regarding manufacturing origin or packaging updates. Confirm RoHS status and moisture sensitivity level requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 24K system gates and 125 I/Os are required in a PQFP-160 package. Ensure the design environment supports the MX architecture's dual-port SRAM and wide-decode circuitry. Verify that the 5V or 3.3V mixed-voltage capability aligns with the target system interface standards.
