A42MX16-2PQG160 Übersicht

The Microchip Technology (formerly Microsemi/Actel) A42MX16-2PQG160 is an antifuse-based FPGA from the MX family delivering 24,000 equivalent system gates, 608 configurable logic blocks (CLBs), 1,232 logic cells, and 125 user I/Os in a 160-lead PQFP/BQFP package measuring 28 x 28 mm with a 0.635 mm terminal pitch. The -2 speed grade supports a maximum clock frequency of 117 MHz.

An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a semiconductor device containing a matrix of configurable logic blocks interconnected by programmable routing, allowing designers to implement custom digital circuits after manufacturing. The MX family is unique among FPGAs because it uses antifuse programmability: one-time programmable connections that retain configuration through power cycles and are inherently resistant to configuration readback and radiation-induced errors, making MX a reliable single-chip ASIC alternative for integrating legacy PLD logic into a single, low-cost, high-volume device.

Key features include the flexible 5.0 V architecture, which is ideal for legacy 5V system integration, PCI Local Bus Specification (version 2.1) compliance across the family, up to 200 MHz on-chip operation, and 6.1 ns clock-to-output performance per the 40MX/42MX family datasheet (DS2136). The G suffix denotes a RoHS-compliant, lead-free green package. Internal SRAM/fuse-based programming requires no external configuration PROM, reducing BOM cost and boot complexity.

The architecture comprises flexible program modules with multiplexers and flip-flops built around combinatorial logic, plus dedicated decode modules enabling wide, fast decode functions. Clock distribution and dual-clock support suit synchronous and asynchronous designs.

Typical applications include legacy 5V system glue logic consolidation, industrial control, telecommunications line cards, military/avionic upgrades requiring antifuse reliability, and ASIC prototyping.

Design consideration: because MX devices are one-time programmable, fully verify the design in simulation and on a companion PL84/LG84 evaluation device before committing production PQFP units.

Typische Anwendungen

A42MX16-2PQG160 ist geeignet für 6 Anwendungs: Legacy 5V PLD Consolidation, PCI Bus Interface Logic, Industrial Control and Automation, ASIC Prototyping and Bridge to Production, Military and Avionics Upgrades, Telecommunications Line Cards.

🏭

Legacy 5V PLD Consolidation

Microchip designed the MX family specifically to integrate logic currently implemented in multiple legacy PLDs (PALs, GALs, CPLDs) into a single low-cost device. The A42MX16-2PQG160's native 5.0 V architecture interfaces directly with legacy 5V buses and peripherals without level shifters, and its 608 CLBs / 24K gates absorb dozens of older 22V10-class devices. Antifuse programming eliminates configuration PROMs and boot time, while one-time programmability prevents configuration corruption in long-life industrial equipment. Designers typically migrate verified PLD equations into Libero SoC and compile onto the MX die with minimal logic changes.

🖥️

PCI Bus Interface Logic

The 42MX family is fully compliant with the PCI Local Bus Specification version 2.1 per the DS2136 datasheet, and family devices deliver 200 MHz on-chip operation with 6.1 ns clock-to-output performance. The A42MX16-2PQG160 can therefore implement PCI target or master interface state machines, address decoding, and data-path functions directly at 33/66 MHz PCI clocks. Dedicated decode modules enable fast wide-decode of address ranges, a key requirement in PCI host bridges and embedded PCI cards where discrete PAL decode would add propagation delay and board area.

🏭

Industrial Control and Automation

In factory automation controllers, motor interface cards, and I/O modules, the A42MX16-2PQG160 provides glue logic, sequencers, and bus bridging with a 117 MHz maximum clock at the -2 speed grade. Its antifuse configuration is immune to configuration upsets that can affect SRAM FPGAs in electrically noisy industrial environments, and the 5.0 V I/O drives legacy sensors and relays interfaces directly. Once programmed, behavior is fixed and deterministic across power cycles, simplifying qualification of machinery that must not change behavior after maintenance. Surface-mount PQFP-160 with 0.635 mm pitch suits standard SMT assembly lines.

🔧

ASIC Prototyping and Bridge to Production

MX FPGAs serve as a reliable single-chip ASIC alternative: designers prototype logic in an MX device and, because antifuse timing is fixed after programming, the prototype behaves deterministically like the final ASIC. The A42MX16's 24K gates and 1232 logic cells accommodate moderate-scale ASIC blocks such as controllers, arbiters, and encoders. The PQFP-160 package with 0.635 mm pitch is breadboard-friendly for socketed prototype runs, and the same die can later be re-sourced in FPQ208 or BG272 packages for higher I/O production variants without logic redesign.

✈️

Military and Avionics Upgrades

Antifuse FPGAs are traditionally favored in military and aerospace upgrade programs because one-time programming offers tolerance to configuration errors and no need for external boot PROMs, and the MX 5.0 V family supports extension of aging 5V military platforms. The A42MX16-2PQG160 implements address decoders, bus interfaces, and timing generators in avionics line-replaceable unit (LRU) retrofits. For extended temperature needs, related MX grades such as the IX temperature-range A42MX16-PQG160IX39 apply the same verified logic across harsher thermal environments.

🌐

Telecommunications Line Cards

Telecom line cards and backplane adapters from the 5V era rely on robust glue logic between framers, HDLC controllers, and backplane buses. The A42MX16-2PQG160 implements address decoding, interrupt aggregation, and data steering at up to 117 MHz, more than sufficient for T1/E1-class line card clocks. Wide-decode modules handle the dense chip-select maps typical of multi-framer cards. Antifuse determinism guarantees identical behavior across spares in carrier inventory, and the 24K gate capacity consolidates many small TTL/PAL devices, cutting board area and assembly cost.

What is the A42MX16-2PQG160?
The A42MX16-2PQG160 is a Microchip Technology (formerly Microsemi/Actel) MX family antifuse FPGA with 24,000 system gates, 608 CLBs, 1,232 logic cells, and 125 user I/Os in a 160-lead PQFP package. According to the Microchip 40MX/42MX datasheet (DS2136), it runs on a 5.0 V architecture and the -2 speed grade supports up to 117 MHz.
What package does the A42MX16-2PQG160 use?
It is housed in a 160-terminal plastic quad flat pack (PQFP/BQFP) measuring 28 x 28 mm with a 0.635 mm terminal pitch. The G suffix indicates a RoHS-compliant, lead-free green package. The same die is also offered in VQG100, TQG176, and FPQ208 packages for different I/O and footprint requirements.
What is the maximum clock frequency of the A42MX16-2PQG160?
The -2 speed grade of the A42MX16 supports a maximum clock frequency of 117 MHz, per Microchip USA part data. The broader 42MX family achieves 200 MHz on-chip operation and 6.1 ns clock-to-output performance per the DS2136 family datasheet.
What is the price of A42MX16-2PQG160?
As of 2026-08-30, LCSC lists the A42MX16-2PQG160 at approximately $348.25 per unit for stock quantities around 24,000 pieces. Octopart compares bulk pricing from 2 authorized distributors. Check XAIPART live pricing for current quantity breaks at 10, 100, 500, and 1000 units.
Where can I buy A42MX16-2PQG160 online?
You can buy the A42MX16-2PQG160 from DigiKey (part 2857541), Mouser, LCSC (C2615744), and via Octopart price comparison across 2 distributors. DigiKey and Mouser listings show in-stock inventory with same-day shipping, making the part readily sourceable as of 2026-08-30.
What is the best drop-in replacement for A42MX16-2PQG160?
The closest drop-in replacement is the industrial-temperature A42MX16-2PQG160I, which shares the identical PQFP-160 footprint, pinout, 24K gate count, and -2 speed grade with only the temperature grade differing. For higher temperature or aerospace needs, other MX variants in the same package family exist, but pin-compatible cross-brand equivalents do not exist because antifuse MX architecture is proprietary.
Is there a cross-brand equivalent for the A42MX16-2PQG160?
No true cross-brand pin-compatible equivalent exists. The Actel/Microsemi MX antifuse architecture is proprietary, and its 5.0 V supply and unique PQFP-160 pinout prevent drop-in replacement by Xilinx, Intel/Altera, or Lattice devices. Designers migrating away from MX must do a PCB re-layout and logic redesign; for existing boards, same-family Microchip MX parts in PQFP-160 are the only drop-in options.
A42MX16 vs A42MX24 - which should I choose?
Choose the A42MX16 (24K gates, 608 CLBs, 125 I/O) when your design fits its capacity and cost matters. Choose the A42MX24 (36K gates) when you need more logic or wider decode modules, such as A42MX24-3PQG208I. Both share the same MX 5.0 V architecture and design flow in Microchip Libero, but packages differ, so the choice should be made before PCB layout.
Is the A42MX16-2PQG160 suitable for legacy 5V systems?
Yes. Microchip positions the MX family specifically for legacy 5.0 V architecture integration, letting designers consolidate multiple legacy PLDs into one antifuse FPGA. Its 5V-tolerant design and PCI 2.1 compliance per DS2136 make it ideal for replacing obsoleted 5V PAL/GAL devices and interfacing with 5V bus systems without level translation.
Where can I download the A42MX16 datasheet PDF?
Download the 40MX and 42MX FPGA Families datasheet (DS2136, 123 pages) from Microchip's website at ww1.microchip.com, or from the Mouser catalog link titled '40MX and 42MX FPGA Families Datasheet.' This datasheet covers the A42MX16 electrical characteristics, timing, package dimensions, and pin tables including the PQFP-160 mechanical drawing.
What are the key specifications of A42MX16-2PQG160 that engineers should know?
Key specs: 24,000 system gates; 608 CLBs; 1,232 logic cells; 125 user I/Os; 5.0 V architecture; 117 MHz maximum clock at -2 speed grade; antifuse one-time-programmable technology; 160-BQFP package (28 x 28 mm, 0.635 mm pitch); PCI Local Bus Specification v2.1 compliance; RoHS-compliant lead-free construction. Source: Microchip 40MX/42MX datasheet DS2136 and Microchip USA product data.
Is the A42MX16-2PQG160 RoHS compliant?
Yes. The G suffix in A42MX16-2PQG160 denotes a RoHS-compliant, lead-free green package. LCSC lists the part as ROHS. Note that non-G variants (e.g., A42MX16-PQ160I style order codes) may be tin-lead plated for legacy military solder processes, so always confirm the suffix when matching compliance requirements.
What programming considerations apply to the A42MX16 antifuse FPGA?
The A42MX16 uses antifuse (one-time programmable) technology, so it requires no external configuration PROM and retains programming permanently. However, a design cannot be reprogrammed - verify fully in simulation using Microchip Libero/Designer tools and test on a prototype before production programming. Antifuse connections also improve resistance to configuration corruption compared to SRAM FPGAs.

Auswahlhilfe

Choose the A42MX16-2PQG160 when you must integrate up to 24K gates of logic into a legacy 5.0 V system with a PQFP-160 footprint, need antifuse determinism and configuration immunity, or are consolidating obsoleted 22V10/GAL devices. Choose A42MX16-2PQG160I if your board operates below -40C to +85C commercial ambient - same die, industrial temperature for a small premium. Choose A42MX24-2PQG160I when logic exceeds 24K gates and the PQFP-160 footprint must be preserved. Choose A42MX09-3PQG160 only for smaller designs where cost trumps capacity. Do NOT attempt cross-brand drop-in replacement: the MX antifuse architecture and pinout are proprietary, so any migration to Xilinx, Intel, or Lattice requires full PCB and design rework. Trade-off to accept: one-time programmability means zero field updates - every logic change requires a new programmed device.

Wichtigste Unterscheidungsmerkmale

  • Best price/capacity point in same PQFP-160 footprint (vs. A42MX24-2PQG160I)
  • Double the logic capacity of the smaller package sibling (vs. A42MX09-3PQG160)
  • 5.0 V native architecture unavailable in modern FPGAs (vs. Any modern 3.3V/1.2V FPGA (e.g., Microchip PolarFire))

Designhinweise

The MX family operates on a 5.0 V core architecture; provide clean 5V rails with local 0.1 uF decoupling per supply pin pair plus 10 uF bulk per device, per Microchip 40MX/42MX datasheet DS2136 recommendations. Because the PQFP-160 draws transient charge during clock edges, keep the power plane solid under the device and avoid routing signals across plane splits.

The 160-lead PQFP has 0.635 mm terminal pitch on a 28 x 28 mm body - use the manufacturer land pattern exactly and inspect with AOI/X-ray after reflow. PQFP leads are prone to coplanarity issues on legacy stock; verify lead coplanarity before assembly when sourcing from brokers, and prefer Tray packaging from authorized distributors (DigiKey, Mouser) for automated assembly.

MX antifuse devices are one-time programmable - a wrong programming file ruins the unit. Always run full simulation in Microchip Libero/Designer and validate timing at the -2 grade (117 MHz max) before submitting to a programmer. Also remember JTAG boundary scan (IEEE 1149.1) is only on 42MX24 and 42MX36, NOT on the A42MX16, so do not plan board-level JTAG test around this device.
