A42MX09-PQG160M Présentation
An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a semiconductor device containing a fabric of programmable logic blocks and interconnects that the designer configures after manufacturing. Within the programmable logic hierarchy, the MX family sits at the cost-effective, mature-node end of the spectrum, serving as a single-chip ASIC alternative for legacy PLD integration and high-volume glue-logic consolidation. The 42MX family additionally provides up to 2.5 kbits of configurable dual-port SRAM and fast wide-decode circuitry, features uncommon in comparably priced devices.
Key differentiating features include the flexible 5.0V-tolerant architecture, single-chip operation that replaces multi-chip legacy designs, dual-port SRAM for FIFO and buffer implementations, and wide-decode capability for address decoding at full system speed. The 'M' suffix denotes industrial temperature range qualification, and the device is lead-free and RoHS compliant.
Technically, the MX fabric uses combinational and sequential modules with dedicated routing resources, supporting JTAG boundary-scan via TDI/TDO chain for board-level test. Typical applications include industrial control and automation, legacy ASIC and PLD consolidation, 5V-tolerant bus bridging, motor drive interface logic, and military/industrial upgrade programs where a reliable, proven mature-node FPGA is preferred.
Design consideration: the 0.65 mm terminal pitch PQFP requires careful PCB land-pattern design and adequate power/ground decoupling; verify I/O count allocation (101 of up to 202 family I/O) early in pin planning to avoid routing congestion.

Applications typiques
A42MX09-PQG160M convient pour 6 applications: Industrial Control and Automation, Legacy PLD and ASIC Consolidation, 5V-Tolerant Bus Bridging, Motor Drive Interface Logic, Test and Measurement Fixtures, Aerospace and Defense Upgrade Programs.
Industrial Control and Automation
The A42MX09-PQG160M fits industrial controllers thanks to its 5V-tolerant I/O, industrial (-40C to +85C) M-grade temperature range, and 101 user I/O for driving sensors, relays, and fieldbus transceivers. Its 2.5 kbits of dual-port SRAM implement FIFOs between a processor and I/O islands, while wide-decode circuitry handles fast address decoding at full 117 MHz speed. Placed as glue logic between a PLC CPU board and backplane, it consolidates dozens of legacy 5V TTL devices into one 160-PQFP, cutting BOM count and board area with no level-shifting overhead.
Recommandé
Legacy PLD and ASIC Consolidation
Microchip explicitly positions MX as a single-chip ASIC alternative for integrating legacy PLDs, PALs, and GALs into one low-cost device. The A42MX09's 684 logic cells and 14K gates absorb multiple 22V10-class PLDs plus surrounding SSI/MSI logic. Its proven 0.45um process and long-term Microchip availability commitment make it ideal for sustaining production of older industrial and mil-aero boards where redesign risk must be minimized. Migrating to the MX fabric typically requires only netlist translation in Libero SoC, preserving verified timing behavior of the original PLD equations.
Recommandé
5V-Tolerant Bus Bridging
Bridging 5V legacy buses (ISA-style backplanes, VME glue logic, old peripheral interfaces) to modern 3.3V processors demands I/O that survives 5V signaling without external translators. The MX architecture natively supports 5.0V operation, so the A42MX09-PQG160M sits directly on a 5V bus while internal logic runs at compatible levels. With 101 I/O and JTAG boundary-scan on TDI/TDO chains, board-level interconnect test is supported per the DS2316 datasheet. This eliminates translator ICs, reduces propagation delay, and preserves signal integrity on long, heavily loaded legacy backplane nets.
Recommandé
Motor Drive Interface Logic
In motor drives, the FPGA generates PWM gating patterns, dead-time insertion, and fault interlocks between a DSP or MCU and gate drivers. The A42MX09's wide-dedecode circuitry and deterministic fabric timing (no software jitter) make it suitable for hard-wired protection: shoot-through interlocks latch in nanoseconds independent of the processor. The 117 MHz internal frequency supports sub-10ns PWM resolution. Industrial temperature rating matches drive-ambient environments, and 5V I/O interfaces directly with older gate-driver input stages common in retrofit drive designs.
Recommandé
Test and Measurement Fixtures
Bench and production test fixtures use small FPGAs for pattern generation, capture, and clock domain bridging. The A42MX09-PQG160M offers 684 logic cells, dual-port SRAM for capture buffers, and abundant I/O for driving device-under-test headers. JTAG boundary scan supports interconnect verification of the fixture itself. Because the MX family is SRAM-programmed, fixtures can be reconfigured per product variant from a host PC. Its mature process also means stable, repeatable I/O timing characteristics year over year, valuable for calibrated measurement repeatability in production environments.
Recommandé
Aerospace and Defense Upgrade Programs
Microsemi (now Microchip) MX FPGAs have a long heritage in defense programs, and the A42MX09-PQG160M serves fleet upgrades of avionics and ground systems where design stability outweighs process-node novelty. The single-chip ASIC-alternative approach replaces multi-chip obsolescent logic with one procurable part, and Microchip's commitment to the MX platform protects against future obsolescence. The M-grade industrial temperature covers most sheltered defense environments. Design migration preserves verified logic via netlist translation, minimizing requalification cost, while JTAG chain support enables in-system functional test of upgraded boards.

Principaux différenciateurs
- Native 5.0V architecture eliminates level translation (vs Modern 3.3V FPGAs (e.g., Xilinx Spartan-class))
- Integrated 2.5 kbit dual-port SRAM (vs A42MX09-2PQG160M (same die))
- Long-term mature-node availability (vs Cross-brand competitor FPGAs)
Notes de conception
The 160-PQFP has 0.65 mm terminal pitch (JESD-30 S-PQFP-G160). Use the Microchip-recommended land pattern, and route fine-pitch fanout with via-in-pad or dogbone escapes. Allocate 0.1 uF ceramic decoupling per supply pin pair placed within 5 mm of the package. The M-grade part reflows at standard lead-free profiles; follow IPC-compliant reflow per your assembler qualification.
MX I/O are software-configurable, so pin planning in Libero SoC should group bus interfaces on adjacent pins to minimize simultaneous-switching noise. Limit slew-driven ground bounce on the 101 available I/O by distributing returns across all GND pins. Because the family runs at 5V, check ringing against absolute maximum ratings when driving long backplane traces.
Do not confuse speed grades: A42MX09-PQG160M (standard) and A42MX09-2PQG160M (grade 2, 146.3 MHz) differ in timing even though they are pin-identical; timing signoff must use the grade actually purchased. Legacy Actel Designer projects must be migrated to Microchip Libero SoC for current toolchain support. Confirm dual-port SRAM allocation does not consume logic modules needed for your design.
