A42MX24-3PL84I

Overview

The A42MX24-3PL84I is a Field Programmable Gate Array from the Microchip MX Automotive family, designed as a single-chip ASIC alternative for automotive applications. It features 36,000 system gates and 912 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device includes up to 2.5 kbits of configurable dual-port SRAM and supports mixed-voltage operation at 3.3V or 5.0V. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and utilizes a PLCC-84 package with 72 I/O pins.

Feature Summary

• Supports deterministic, user-controllable timing with up to 100% resource utilization and pin fixing.
• Enables ease of integration through synthesis-friendly architecture supporting ASIC design methodologies.
• Provides unique in-system diagnostic capability via Silicon Explorer II technology.

Applications

• Automotive applications requiring single-chip ASIC alternatives
• Industrial control systems
• Consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' against official Microchip documentation to confirm industrial temperature rating compliance. Confirm RoHS status and lead-free availability directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors, as these attributes are critical for automotive qualification. Ensure the PLCC-84 package matches the target PCB footprint requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an automotive-grade FPGA with deterministic timing and high pin-fixing capability is required. Compare gate density and SRAM capacity against other MX family members if higher logic resources are needed. Verify voltage compatibility for both core and I/O interfaces to ensure proper system integration.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A42MX24 series within the broader Microchip MX Automotive FPGA portfolio. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the 3,000 to 54,000 system gate range, offering low power consumption and IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary scan testing support common across the family.
