Procurement Notes

Verify part authenticity through authorized channels due to potential obsolescence status in the MX series. Confirm specific suffix requirements against original design specifications. Check for Product Change Notifications regarding manufacturing updates. Ensure compliance with export classification codes before international shipment. Validate moisture sensitivity levels for proper storage and reflow soldering procedures.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 36,000 system gates and a 176-pin surface-mount package are required. Compare pin counts and gate densities against similar MX series variants like the A42MX24-TQ176I. Consider thermal performance and voltage requirements for the target application environment. Verify that the TQFP form factor fits the available PCB real estate constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Microsemi 40MX and 42MX FPGA families, which offer deterministic timing and 100% resource utilization. These devices serve as direct replacements for complex programmable logic devices in commercial and industrial sectors. The MX architecture emphasizes low power consumption and high density for embedded logic applications.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers for this specific variant are not available in the provided documentation. Evaluate other packages within the A42MX24 family if pin count compatibility allows. Consult manufacturer notices for end-of-life transitions to newer technology nodes.
