A42MX16-3PQG160I of Microsemi 40MX and 42MX FPGA Families

A42MX16-3PQG160I FPGAs Overview

Microsemi's 42MX families offer a cost-effective design solution at 5V. The MX devices are single-chip solutions and provide high performance while shortening the system design and development cycle. MX devices can integrate and consolidate logic implemented in multiple PALs, CPLDs, and FPGAs. Example applications include high-speed controllers and address decoding, peripheral bus interfaces, DSP, and co-processor functions.

The MX device architecture is based on Microsemi’s patented antifuse technology implemented in a 0.45µm triple-metal CMOS process. With capacities ranging from 3,000 to 54,000 system gates, the MX devices provide performance up to 250 MHz, are live on power-up and have one-fifth the standby power consumption of comparable FPGAs. MX FPGAs provide up to 202 user I/Os and are available in a wide variety of packages and speed grades. A42MX24 and A42MX36 devices also feature MultiPlex I/Os, which support mixed-voltage systems, enable programmable PCI, deliver high-performance operation at both 5.0V and 3.3V, and provide a lowpower mode. The devices are fully compliant with the PCI Local Bus Specification (version 2.1). They deliver 200 MHz on-chip operation and 6.1 ns clock-to-output performance.

All MX devices are fully tested over automotive and military temperature ranges. In addition, the largest member of the family, the A42MX36, is available in both CQ208 and CQ256 ceramic packages screened to MIL-STD-883 levels. For easy prototyping and conversion from plastic to ceramic, the CQ208 and PQ208 devices are pin-compatible.

The A42MX36 device contains dual-port SRAM modules that have been optimized for synchronous or asynchronous applications. The SRAM modules are arranged in 256-bit blocks that can be configured as 32x8 or 64x4. SRAM modules can be cascaded together to form memory spaces of user-definable width and depth.
