A42MX16-PLG84A

The A42MX16-PLG84A from Microchip Technology delivers military-grade reliability in Embedded - FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array), developed for aerospace and defense applications. This radiation-tolerant FPGA combines high-speed processing with configurable security features, making it ideal for secure communications and electronic warfare systems. The architecture includes tamper-resistant design elements while maintaining full observability for system diagnostics.The 72 military-spec I/Os include EMP hardening and support differential signaling up to 12.5Gbps. Each I/O bank can be configured for TEMPEST-compliant emissions control in sensitive intelligence applications.The 24000 equivalent gate capacity enables implementation of complex beamforming algorithms with low latency. The hardened DSP blocks accelerate cryptographic operations while maintaining constant power signatures.Operating from 3V ~ 3.6V, 4.5V ~ 5.5V, the power delivery network includes redundant regulators for fault tolerance. The adaptive voltage scaling maintains optimal performance while minimizing thermal signatures in covert deployments.The Surface Mount package meets MIL-STD-883 shock and vibration requirements while providing excellent thermal conduction. The hermetic sealing prevents moisture ingress in high-altitude or maritime environments.Qualified for -40°C ~ 125°C (TA) operation, the device maintains full functionality across extreme environmental conditions. The thermal management system prevents performance throttling during sustained high-compute workloads.The 84-LCC (J-Lead) package implements gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance in harsh environments. The ceramic substrate provides excellent alpha particle shielding for space applications.Supplied in 84-PLCC (29.31x29.31) configuration, the device includes full traceability documentation required for defense contracts. The packaging meets ESD protection standards for sensitive military components.
