A42MX16-FPQG208

Overview

The A42MX16-FPQG208 is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from the Microchip Technology MX series. It features 24,000 system gates and 608 logic elements within a 208-pin FineLine PQFP package. The device supports dual-voltage operation with supply ranges of 3V to 3.6V and 4.75V to 5.25V. It includes up to 2.5 kbits of configurable dual-port SRAM and provides 176 user-programmable I/O pins. The component operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Single-chip ASIC alternative integrating high-capacity logic resources
• Supports mixed-voltage operation for core and I/O domains
• Includes configurable dual-port SRAM for data storage

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix 'F' against official Microchip documentation, as standard listings typically use 'P'. Confirm current lifecycle status, as many MX-series devices are obsolete. Check for RoHS compliance and moisture sensitivity levels before integration into production designs.

Selection Notes

Compare against verified variants like A42MX16-PQG208 for identical pin counts and capacity. Ensure the specific temperature grade and package type match the target application requirements. Validate that the 208-pin PQFP footprint aligns with existing PCB layouts.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Microsemi/Microchip 40MX and 42MX FPGA families. These devices were designed to replace complex PALS, CPLDs, and FPGAs in single-chip solutions. The family emphasizes deterministic timing and high performance at 5V operation.
