A42MX36-2BGG272 FPGAs Overview
Microsemi's 40MX and 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.
