A42MX09PQ100 Actel 5V FPGA

A42MX09PQ100 is Actel Corporation's cost-effective design solution at 5V. The devices are single-chip solutions and provide high performance while shortening the system design and development cycle. These devices can integrate and consolidate logic implemented in multiple PALs, CPLDs, and FPGAs. A42MX09PQ100 find an application in high-speed controllers and address decoding, peripheral bus interfaces, DSP, and coprocessor functions.

Design of A42MX09PQ100 is based on Actel's patented antifuse technology implemented in a 0.45µm triplemetal CMOS process. The devices have one-fifth the standby power consumption of comparable FPGAs. The devices are made of fine-grained building blocks that enable fast and efficient logic designs.


The A42MX09PQ100 is composed of logic modules, I/O modules, routing resources and clock networks. The device has vertical and horizontal routing tracks to interconnect the various logic and I/O modules. The routing tracks are metal interconnects that may either be continuous or split into segments. All interconnects in the device can be accomplished with a maximum of four antifuses.


Its specifications are as follows; Capacity; System Gates - 14,000, Logic Modules; Sequential- 348, Combinatorial - 336, Clock-to-Out - 5.6 ns, Dedicated Flip-Flops - 348, Maximum Flip-Flops - 516, Clocks - 2, and User I/O (maximum) - 104.


A42MX09PQ100 has two low-skew, high-fanout clock distribution networks that are referred to as CLKA and CLKB. The Clock input pads can be used as normal I/Os too. The MultiPlex I/O modules provide the interface between the device pins and the logic array. The I/O module can be used to latch input or output data, or both, providing fast set-up time. Fast implementation of complex logic functions are made possible as the devices can operate with internal clock frequencies of 250 MHz.


Southern-Chips offers the A42MX09PQ100, Actel parts, FPGAs and other hard-to-find and obsolete semiconductors and integrated circuits.
