A42MX09-3PQG160 Visão geral
An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a semiconductor device containing a fabric of configurable logic blocks and programmable interconnects that the designer wires together post-manufacture. Within the programmable logic hierarchy, FPGAs sit above CPLDs and PLDs in capacity and flexibility, and the MX family is a single-chip, antifuse-style ASIC alternative specifically positioned for integrating legacy 5.0V PLD designs into one low-cost, high-volume device.
Key features include a 5.0V-tolerant architecture that directly interfaces with legacy 5V bus systems without level shifting, 684 CLBs of programmable logic, and speed-grade -3 timing supporting internal clock rates up to 268 MHz. The 101 available user I/O pins and the 160-BQFP package make the device well suited to through-hole-replacement and industrial retrofits where QFP soldering and 5V compatibility are required. The MX fabric offers deterministic, ASIC-like timing suited to high-volume, cost-sensitive production.
Architecturally, the MX family uses a flexible logic module approach with combinational and sequential modules, providing an efficient platform for state machines, glue logic consolidation, and legacy PLD migration. As a one-time-programmable single-chip solution, it removes configuration PROMs and improves reliability compared to SRAM-based FPGAs.
Typical applications include industrial control consolidation, legacy PLD integration, telecommunications line cards operating at 5V, military/industrial upgrade programs, and high-volume ASIC prototyping alternatives.
Design consideration: verify I/O allocation early, since the 101-user-I/O limit and fixed 160-BQFP pinout require pin planning before PCB layout; also confirm 5V supply integrity with adequate decoupling near all VCC pins.

Aplicações típicas
A42MX09-3PQG160 é adequado para 6 aplicaçãos: Legacy PLD Integration, Industrial Control Systems, Telecommunications Line Cards, Military and Defense Upgrades, ASIC Prototyping Alternative, Test and Measurement Equipment.
Legacy PLD Integration
The A42MX09-3PQG160 consolidates multiple legacy 5V PLDs, GALs, and PALs into a single 14K-gate device, directly matching the 5.0V I/O levels of legacy buses without level shifters. With 684 CLBs and 101 user I/Os, typical multi-PLD glue-logic boards fit comfortably within the fabric. As a one-time-programmable single-chip solution it eliminates configuration PROMs and their boot-time dependencies, improving system reliability and reducing BOM count in high-volume industrial retrofits.
Recomendado
Industrial Control Systems
In industrial controllers, the A42MX09-3PQG160 provides deterministic ASIC-like timing for state machines, interlocks, and motor sequencing logic at up to 268 MHz internal operation on a robust 5.0V rail common in factory environments. The 101 user I/Os interface directly with 5V sensors, relays, and optocoupler outputs. The 160-BQFP package is hand-solderable for service and rework, and the PQ160 footprint is shared with A42MX16/A42MX24 for future logic expansion without PCB redesign.
Recomendado
Telecommunications Line Cards
5V-tolerant telecom backplanes and line cards benefit from the MX family's native 5.0V architecture, which connects directly to legacy E1/T1 framer and backplane signaling levels. The 268 MHz speed grade supports timing-critical framing and multiplexing logic, while 101 I/O pins handle address, data, and control buses. One-time programmability removes SRAM configuration overhead, ensuring the card is functional at power-up with no configuration controller or serial PROM required.
Recomendado
Military and Defense Upgrades
The A42MX09-3PQG160M military variant and the PQG160M packaging options serve defense sustainment programs replacing obsolete bipolar PLDs. The MX family's single-chip, non-volatile nature and 5.0V tolerance match rack-level legacy power rails. With 14K gates and 684 CLBs, radar interface glue logic, bus arbiters, and test-point multiplexing consolidate reliably. The identical 160-BQFP footprint across military and industrial variants simplifies dual-source qualification within the same PCB layout.
Recomendado
ASIC Prototyping Alternative
For low- to mid-volume ASIC replacements, the A42MX09-3PQG160 offers a one-time-programmable, single-chip ASIC alternative at 14K gates. Deterministic antifuse-style timing simplifies static timing analysis versus SRAM FPGAs, and the fixed 5.0V fabric matches the ASIC's original I/O environment. Designers implement the netlist once with Microchip/Microsemi Designer software and program via standard programmers, avoiding mask charges while keeping per-unit cost low at high volumes.
Recomendado
Test and Measurement Equipment
Bench and ATE instruments use the A42MX09-3PQG160 for trigger logic, timing generators, and bus-interface glue logic where deterministic sub-microsecond response matters. The 5.0V fabric drives legacy instrument backplane signals directly with 101 I/Os, and 268 MHz speed-grade performance covers high-resolution counter and encoder interfaces. Its non-volatile configuration ensures the instrument powers up immediately with no boot latency, an important requirement for production test-floor equipment.

Principais diferenciais
- Native 5.0V architecture (vs Modern low-voltage FPGAs)

- Cost-optimized density point (vs A42MX16-2PQG160I)
Notas de projeto
The MX family operates on a single 5.0V rail. Decouple every VCC pin pair on the 160-BQFP with 0.1uF ceramic capacitors placed within 5 mm of the pin, plus at least 10uF of bulk capacitance per device. Because the fabric is one-time-programmable and draws current primarily during switching, estimate worst-case current from post-layout static timing simulation of the actual design rather than the family typical figure.
The 160-BQFP has 0.65mm-pitch leads; design land patterns per the Microchip MX datasheet packaging section. Allocate I/O early - only 101 of the 160 pins are user I/O, and the remaining pins are power, ground, and program/verify pins that must not be loaded during operation. Reserve the program-related pins with series resistors to allow in-system or bench programming access.
The A42MX09 is one-time-programmable: an incorrect fuse program cannot be erased, so always verify the design in simulation and on a development device before committing production units. Also remember the PQ160 footprint is shared with A42MX16 and A42MX24 - keep layout flexibility by routing spare fabric-routed I/O to test points, enabling a no-PCB-change density upgrade later.
