A42MX36-1BG272M

Overview

The A42MX36-1BG272M is a non-volatile Flash FPGA from the Microchip MX family, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 54,000 system gates and 1,184 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) within a 272-pin Ball Grid Array (BGA) package. The device supports dual voltage operation at 3V to 3.6V and 4.75V to 5.25V. It includes 2,560 bits of embedded SRAM and provides 202 I/O pins. The component operates within an industrial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Non-volatile Flash architecture eliminates the need for external configuration memory.
• Supports deterministic timing with user-controllable delays.
• Enables 100% resource utilization and pin fixing for ASIC-like design methodologies.

Applications

• Automotive applications requiring single-chip ASIC alternatives.
• Industrial control systems needing robust programmable logic.
• Aerospace and defense electronics utilizing radiation-tolerant architectures.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'M' against official Microchip documentation to confirm package details and temperature grade. Confirm current lifecycle status as discontinuance notices may affect long-term availability. Ensure compliance with RoHS and REACH regulations required for your region before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 54,000 system gates and a 272-pin BGA form factor are required. Compare against the A42MX36-1PQG208 if a QFP package is preferred instead of BGA. Verify that the 202 I/O count meets interface requirements. Consider the -1 speed grade for standard performance needs within the industrial temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the A42MX series of Flash FPGAs, which bridge the gap between discrete logic and ASICs. The MX family is characterized by its instant-on capability due to embedded Flash technology. This specific model represents a high-density option within the series, offering significant logic resources in a compact footprint suitable for complex digital designs.
