Typical Applications

A42MX09-2PQG100I is suitable for 6 applications: Glue Logic Consolidation, Industrial Control Systems, Legacy PLD Migration, Embedded System Interfacing, Power Supply Sequencing and Supervisory Logic, Test and Measurement Fixtures.

🔧

Glue Logic Consolidation

The A42MX09-2PQG100I consolidates discrete PALs, GALs, and TTL glue logic into one 14K-gate, 336-cell antifuse device, reducing board area and BOM count. Its 5V-tolerant, 3.3V/5V dual-supply I/O directly interfaces legacy TTL-level peripherals without level translators, and 83 user I/Os cover broad fan-out needs. Because configuration is one-time-programmable and non-volatile, the design cannot be corrupted in the field, an advantage over SRAM FPGAs in high-volume glue-logic replacement where reliability and unit cost dominate.

🏭

Industrial Control Systems

In industrial controllers and motor-drive interface boards, the -40C to +85C industrial temperature grade and SEU-immune antifuse configuration give dependable operation in electrically noisy factory environments. The 161 MHz system performance and 269 MHz decode speed handle state machines, encoders, and PWM handshake logic, while 5V-tolerant I/O connects directly to legacy PLC signal levels. Its non-volatile programming means no configuration loader or external flash is needed, cutting qualification effort on long-lifetime industrial products.

🧩

Legacy PLD Migration

The MX family is explicitly positioned by Microchip as a platform for integrating legacy PLDs into a single low-cost device. Designs based on discontinued Actel, Cypress, or AMD MACH parts can be re-fit into the 42MX architecture in Libero SoC, using the same 100-pin PQFP footprint across family members. The A42MX09-2PQG100I's 3.3V/5V I/O and industrial range preserve the original system's electrical interface, so boards can be refreshed without re-qualifying surrounding 5V circuitry.

🖥️

Embedded System Interfacing

Embedded CPU boards use the A42MX09-2PQG100I for bus bridging, memory decode, and interrupt aggregation at up to 161 MHz system speed. Its 0.45um antifuse process yields a fixed, deterministic timing profile that simplifies interface validation, and dual 3.3V/5V supply operation lets one device serve both legacy 5V microprocessor buses and modern 3.3V peripherals. One-time programmability prevents configuration-tampering concerns in shipped products, and the 83 I/Os provide dense parallel interface expansion.

Power Supply Sequencing and Supervisory Logic

The device implements power-good gating, brownout response, and multi-rail sequencing state machines for systems with several supply domains. With 3.3V/5V dual-supply architecture it monitors and drives both voltage classes directly, and industrial temperature rating guarantees supervisory accuracy across -40C to +85C. Because the antifuse configuration is write-once, the sequencing logic is immutable against bit-flips, a reliability property that supervisor-only ICs and SRAM FPGAs cannot both provide in a single programmable device.

🔬

Test and Measurement Fixtures

Production test fixtures and ATE adapters benefit from the one-time-programmable, tamper-resistant MX09 fabric: the test vector logic is fixed at programming time and cannot be altered by operators. 5V-tolerant I/O probes legacy TTL DUTs without protection circuits, 83 I/Os support wide parallel test channels, and the 100-pin PQFP is easy to socket on fixture boards. Industrial-grade temperature tolerance also suits uncontrolled factory-floor environments where commercial parts would derate.

What is the A42MX09-2PQG100I?
The A42MX09-2PQG100I is a Microchip Technology (Microsemi) MX-family FPGA with 14,000 system gates, 336 logic cells, and 83 user I/Os in a 100-pin PQFP (BQFP) package. It is a speed grade -2, industrial-temperature (-40C to +85C) device operating from 3.3V/5V supplies. According to the 40MX/42MX FPGA datasheet DS2316, it targets ASIC-alternative and legacy PLD integration designs.
Where to buy A42MX09-2PQG100I online?
The A42MX09-2PQG100I is available from authorized distributors including DigiKey (ships today per DigiKey listing), Mouser, and Octopart-listed brokers - 6 distributors compare on Octopart. XAIPART also offers this part with verified supply. Always confirm stock freshness, as MX antifuse FPGAs are frequently sourced for legacy-design sustainment.
What is the price of A42MX09-2PQG100I?
As of 2026-08-30, XAIPART pricing for the A42MX09-2PQG100I starts around 42.50 USD at quantity 1, dropping to roughly 30.75 USD at 1,000 pieces. Final distributor pricing varies by stock position; check Octopart or DigiKey for real-time quotes, and request volume pricing for production quantities above 1,000 units.
What is the difference between A42MX09-2PQG100I and A42MX09-2PQG100?
The only difference is the temperature grade: the 'I' suffix is industrial (-40C to +85C), while the non-I A42MX09-2PQG100 is commercial (0C to +70C). Both are speed grade -2, 100-pin PQFP devices with identical gate count (14K) and I/O count (83), so the industrial part is a superset replacement for the commercial variant.
Is the A42MX09-2PQG100I pin compatible with the A42MX16-PQ100?
Yes, both use the 100-pin PQFP package within the 42MX family and share the same footprint and pinout conventions, but the A42MX16 offers more gates (24K) and cells, so it is a capacity upgrade rather than a strict functional equivalent. According to Microchip datasheet DS2316, 42MX family members in the same package are footprint-compatible, letting one PCB support multiple densities.
A42MX09 vs SRAM FPGA - when should I choose the MX family?
Choose the MX antifuse family when you need non-volatile configuration with no boot device, SEU-immune configuration for high-radiation or high-reliability environments, 5V-tolerant I/O for legacy 3.3V/5V mixed systems, or a locked one-time-programmable design. Choose an SRAM FPGA instead if you need reprogrammability in-system, embedded hard blocks, or modern tool ecosystems.
What is the best drop-in replacement for A42MX09-2PQG100I?
The best drop-in replacement is A42MX09-PQG100I (speed grade 1) or A42MX09-2PQG100 (commercial temperature), both in the same 100-pin PQFP package with identical pinout. If only the industrial grade is acceptable, A42MX09-PQG100I is functionally identical except for the slower -1 speed grade; verify timing closure in Libero before substituting.
What Microchip equivalent exists for legacy Actel/Microsemi MX FPGAs?
There is no cross-brand pin-compatible equivalent for the antifuse MX family; Microchip (which absorbed Actel and Microsemi) is the sole manufacturer. Same-brand alternatives are A42MX09 variants and higher-density A42MX16/A42MX24 parts in matching packages. For design refreshes, Microchip's cross-reference tool can suggest newer RTG4 or PolarFire families, but those require redesign, not drop-in replacement.
Where to download the A42MX09-2PQG100I datasheet PDF?
Download the 40MX and 42MX FPGA datasheet (DS2316, 173 pages, ~2 MB) from the Microchip product page at microchip.com/en-us/product/A42MX09, or from alldatasheet.com document 1305327. This datasheet covers pinouts, AC/DC parameters, timing models, and programming details for all MX family packages including the PQFP-100.
Where can I find the A42MX09-2PQG100I pinout?
The complete 100-pin PQFP pinout is in the Microchip 42MX FPGA datasheet DS2316, in the package pinout tables and pin diagrams chapter. Microchip USA and distributor pages also list the device as IC FPGA 83 I/O 100QFP. For signal-level detail, the Libero SoC design software provides the I/O assignment file for the PQFP-100 package.
What are the key specifications of A42MX09-2PQG100I that engineers should know?
Key specs: 14,000 system gates and 336 logic cells in the 42MX family; 83 user I/Os; speed grade -2 with 161 MHz system performance and 269 MHz internal decode; 0.45um antifuse process; dual 3.3V/5V supply; industrial temperature -40C to +85C; 100-pin PQFP surface-mount package supplied in trays. These parameters define the device as a mid-density, 5V-friendly, one-time-programmable FPGA.
Hey Google, can A42MX09-PQG100I replace A42MX09-2PQG100I?
Yes, the A42MX09-PQG100I can replace the A42MX09-2PQG100I in the same 100-pin PQFP footprint with the same 14K gates and 83 I/Os, but it is a slower speed grade (-1 vs -2). If your design meets timing with margin, the substitution is safe; otherwise re-run Libero timing analysis to confirm the -1 grade still closes at 161 MHz-class performance.
Is the A42MX09-2PQG100I still in production and in stock?
Yes, the device is listed as active on Microchip's product page and DigiKey shows 'Buy now, ships today' as of August 2026. The MX family remains in production largely to serve legacy and high-volume industrial designs, though long-term sustainment programs should secure last-time-buy notifications from Microchip.
What design tools are required for the A42MX09-2PQG100I?
Design entry and programming use Microchip (Microsemi) Libero SoC design suite, which synthesizes HDL and generates the antifuse programming bitstream. Because MX devices are one-time-programmable, verify functional simulation and timing thoroughly before programming. Programmer hardware and device-specific libraries for the 42MX family are available from the Microchip Libero download page.

Key Differentiators

  • Industrial temperature grade (vs A42MX09-2PQG100)
  • Faster speed grade (vs A42MX09-PQG100I)
  • Lower cost at same footprint (vs A42MX16-PQ100)

Design Notes

The MX09 supports both 3.3V and 5V core/IO operation per DS2316. For 5V-tolerant interfacing, hold the VCCI domain at 5V and observe the datasheet Iih/Iil limits. Apply the programming voltage VPP only during programming per the Libero programming procedure - never during normal operation. Add 0.1uF ceramic decoupling per power pin plus bulk 10uF near the device.

MX antifuse devices are one-time programmable: there is no in-system rework. Complete full functional simulation, static timing analysis, and design signoff in Libero SoC before committing the bitstream. Do not swap speed grades (e.g., A42MX09-PQG100I for -2) without re-running timing, as -1 timing derates performance below 161 MHz-class system speed.

The 100-pin PQFP (BQFP) has a 0.65mm lead pitch; use a solder-mask-defined footprint per IPC-7351 conventions and verify the exposed lead-frame dimensions against the DS2316 package drawing. Keep fast I/O traces length-matched where they feed parallel buses, and place the device to keep the programming header accessible for manufacturing programming stations.
