A42MX16-3VQ100I

Overview

The A42MX16-3VQ100I is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microchip MX family, 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 core supply of 3.3 V and I/O supplies ranging from 4.5 V to 5.5 V. It provides 83 user-programmable I/O pins and operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. This component serves as a high-capacity, single-chip solution for consolidating logic functions.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-performance logic consolidation capabilities suitable for replacing multiple discrete PLDs, CPLDs, or FPGAs in a single chip design.
• Supports mixed-voltage operation allowing flexible integration of 3.3 V core logic with 5.0 V or 3.3 V I/O interfaces.
• Includes up to 2.5 kbits of configurable dual-port SRAM for embedded memory applications.

Applications

• High-speed controllers and address decoding systems
• Peripheral bus interface implementations
• DSP and co-processor function acceleration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '3V' against official Microchip documentation to confirm voltage specifications and availability. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check for any export restrictions associated with this part number before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 100-pin surface-mount package is required alongside 24K system gate capacity. Confirm that the 83 available I/O pins meet interface requirements and that the industrial temperature rating aligns with environmental constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the A42MX16 series within the broader MX FPGA family. It shares architectural similarities with variants like the A42MX16-PQG100I but differs in package type and specific electrical characteristics defined by its suffix.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other A42MX16 variants such as A42MX16-PQG100I or A42MX16-VQG100A, provided pin compatibility and voltage levels are verified against the target application requirements.
