A42MX16-2VQG100I

Overview

The A42MX16-2VQG100I is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from the Microchip MX family, housed in a 100-pin VQFP package. It provides 608 logic elements and 24,000 system gates with 83 I/O pins. The device operates at a minimum voltage of 4.5 V and a maximum of 5.5 V, supporting both 3.3 V and 5 V work supply voltages. It functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-voltage operation for core and I/Os with PCI-compliant interfaces
• Enables up to 100% resource utilization and pin locking
• Provides deterministic, user-controllable timing characteristics

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm package type and temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer documentation before procurement. Ensure moisture sensitivity level handling procedures are followed during storage and assembly to prevent damage.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-chip ASIC alternative is required for consolidating multiple PALS or CPLDs. Consider the 100-VQFP package for surface-mount applications requiring 83 accessible I/O lines. Verify that the 4.5 V to 5.5 V operating range aligns with the target system power supply specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A42MX16 series within the broader MX FPGA family offered by Microchip Technology. The series includes variants with different packages such as PQFP and CQFP, and varying speed grades. The A42MX16 designation indicates a specific capacity tier within the 40MX and 42MX product families.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other A42MX16 variants like A42MX16-VQG100A or A42MX16-2PQ100A, provided the package and temperature specifications match the design requirements.
