Procurement Notes

This item is a wafer lot supply, not individual packaged devices. Procurement requires verification of specific die availability and handling procedures. Customers must confirm compatibility with their packaging and testing infrastructure. Contact the manufacturer or authorized distributors for current wafer lot status and technical support regarding die selection and quality assurance protocols.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing for high-volume production requiring direct die integration. It is suitable for applications needing the full feature set of the A42MX24 family without package constraints. Ensure design tools support the specific die characteristics and thermal requirements. Verify that the manufacturing process can handle bare die assembly and testing.

Part Context

The A42MX24-WAFERLOT belongs to the Actel (now Microchip) MX FPGA family, known for radiation tolerance and low power. This specific SKU represents the raw silicon wafers for the A42MX24 device, which typically comes in packages like PLCC-84 or TQFP-176. It allows for custom packaging solutions and is intended for OEMs with advanced packaging capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacement requires sourcing other A42MX24 wafer lots or equivalent MX family dies. For packaged equivalents, consider A42MX24-2PLG84 or A42MX24-3TQG176 if standard packaging is acceptable. Verify pinout and electrical specifications match the original design requirements.
