The A42MX36-FPQG208 is an Integrated Circuit (IC) component manufactured by Microsemi Corporation, now part of Microchip Technology Inc. It belongs to the A42MX36 series of high-performance field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Here is an overview and key features of this IC component:
1. FPGA Architecture: The A42MX36-FPQG208 is built on a 0.6µ (micron) triple-layer metal CMOS process technology. It uses a sea-of-gates architecture, which is a type of FPGA architecture that facilitates efficient and flexible implementation of digital logic circuits.
2. Logic Elements: This IC has a total of 36,624 logic elements (LEs), which are the fundamental building blocks of the FPGA. The LEs consist of configurable look-up tables (CLBs), registers, multiplexers, and other basic logic elements. These LEs can be interconnected to form complex digital circuits.
3. Input/Output Interfaces: The A42MX36-FPQG208 supports up to 388 input/output (I/O) pins, allowing for integration with external devices and other circuits. These I/O pins can be used for data transfer, communication, control signals, and other purposes as required by the system.
4. Embedded RAM: This IC incorporates 600 kilobits (Kb) of dual-port random-access memory (RAM)
