A42MX16-PQG160A - 24K Gate FPGA, 125 I/O | Microchip Technology
MPN： A42MX16-PQG160A ✓ 啟用中A42MX16-PQG160A 概覽
An FPGA is an integrated circuit that can be configured by the customer after manufacturing to implement any digital logic function. FPGAs belong to the programmable logic device (PLD) family, which sits above simple PLDs (SPLDs) and complex PLDs (CPLDs) in the hierarchy of programmable logic, and below application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) in terms of customization and unit cost at high volumes. The MX family provides an efficient, flexible 5.0 V architecture ideal for bridging legacy 5 V systems with modern designs.
Key features of the A42MX16-PQG160A include 608 logic modules, 125 user I/Os, and a 5.0 V core supply. The device supports JTAG boundary-scan testing (IEEE 1149.1) for board-level testability, and offers up to 153 MHz system performance. The 160-pin PQFP package has a 0.635 mm terminal pitch, and the device is lead-free (RoHS compliant) per the 'A' suffix. It is rated for industrial temperature range from -40°C to +125°C, making it suitable for harsh environments.
Architecturally, the MX family uses a 0.45 µm CMOS process technology, providing a balance of density, speed, and power. The FPGA is SRAM-based, allowing in-system reconfiguration, though it requires an external configuration source at power-up. The device includes dedicated routing resources and I/O registers to support high-speed data paths and complex state machines.
Typical applications include industrial control, automotive electronics, communications infrastructure, and test and measurement equipment. The 5.0 V operation makes it particularly suited for interfacing with legacy 5 V logic families, while the 125 I/Os allow integration of multiple PLDs into a single device, reducing board space and cost.
When designing with this FPGA, ensure adequate decoupling on the VCC and GND pins, and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for configuration and JTAG connections. The device is non-volatile in the sense that it can be configured from an external PROM, but it is not flash-based, so configuration data must be reloaded at each power-up.

主要差異化特點
- Industrial temperature range (-40C to +125C) in standard part (對比A42MX16-1PQG160)
- Lead-free (RoHS compliant) finish (對比A42MX16-PQ160I)
- Automotive-grade variant available (對比A42MX16-PQG160IX39)
設計說明
The A42MX16-PQG160A requires a 5.0 V core supply (4.5 V to 5.5 V). Use a low-impedance power plane and place 0.1 uF decoupling capacitors close to each VCC pin, plus a 10 uF bulk capacitor near the power entry point. Estimated: For a typical design with 50% I/O toggling, power consumption can be estimated using the formula P = VCC * (ICC_standby + ICC_active). Refer to the datasheet for ICC values. Ensure the power supply can handle peak inrush current during configuration.
For the 160-pin PQFP package, use a 0.635 mm pitch footprint. Ensure adequate copper pour for ground and power distribution. Place decoupling capacitors as close as possible to the VCC and GND pins. For JTAG signals, keep trace lengths short and avoid routing near high-speed switching signals to prevent noise. Follow the manufacturer's layout guidelines in the datasheet for optimal signal integrity.
A common pitfall is forgetting to configure the FPGA at power-up. The A42MX16 is SRAM-based, so it must be configured from an external source (e.g., PROM, microcontroller, or JTAG) after each power cycle. Ensure the configuration source is ready before the FPGA exits reset. Also, verify that all I/O pins are properly terminated to avoid floating inputs, which can increase power consumption and cause erratic behavior.
