Key Differentiators
- 5.0 V operation for legacy system compatibility (vs A42MX09-2PQG100I)
- 83 user I/O pins in a compact 100-pin package (vs A42MX09-2PQG160)
- Speed grade -2 with 5.6 ns clock-to-out (vs A42MX09-1PQG100)
Design Notes
The A42MX09-2PQG100 operates from a 5.0 V supply. Ensure adequate decoupling with 0.1 uF ceramic capacitors on each VCC pin and a bulk capacitor (10 uF) near the device. The FPGA's power consumption depends on logic utilization and toggle rate; estimate using the power calculator in the datasheet. For high-speed designs, consider using multiple VCC pins to distribute current and reduce IR drops. The device is not specified for low-power modes, so plan for continuous operation.
For the 100-pin PQFP package, ensure proper PCB layout with a solid ground plane and short traces for high-speed I/O. Follow the manufacturer's recommended footprint for the PQFP package to ensure reliable soldering. Place decoupling capacitors as close to the VCC pins as possible. For the 5.0 V supply, use wide traces to minimize voltage drop. Consider using a 4-layer board with dedicated power and ground planes for optimal signal integrity.
A common pitfall is forgetting to configure the FPGA at power-up. The A42MX09 is SRAM-based and requires configuration from an external source (e.g., a configuration PROM or JTAG). Ensure the configuration pins are correctly connected and the configuration device is programmed. Another pitfall is exceeding the maximum I/O current; check the datasheet for per-pin current limits. Also, verify that the 5.0 V supply is within the specified range (typically 4.75V to 5.25V) to avoid erratic behavior.
