1 – 40MX and 42MX Automotive FPGA Families
General Description
Microsemi’s automotive-grade MX families provide a high-performance, single-chip solution for
shortening the system design and development cycle, offering a cost-effective alternative to ASICs for in-
cabin telematics and automobile interconnect applications. The 40MX and 42MX devices are excellent
choices for integrating logic that is currently implemented in multiple PALs, CPLDs, and FPGAs.
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 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.
The automotive-grade 42MX24 and 42MX36 include system-level features such as IEEE Standard
1149.1 (JTAG) Boundary Scan Testing and fast wide-decode modules. In addition, the A42MX36 device
offers dual-port SRAM for implementing fast FIFOs, LIFOs, and temporary data storage. The storage
elements can efficiently address applications requiring wide datapath manipulation.
MX Architectural Overview
The MX devices are composed of fine-grained building blocks that enable fast, efficient logic designs. All
devices within these families are composed of logic modules, I/O modules, routing resources and clock
networks, which are the building blocks for fast logic designs. In addition, the A42MX36 device contains
embedded dual-port SRAM modules, which are optimized for high-speed datapath functions such as
FIFOs, LIFOs and scratchpad memory. A42MX24 and A42MX36 also contain wide-decode modules.
Logic Modules
The 40MX logic module is an eight-input, one-output logic circuit designed to implement a wide range of
logic functions with efficient use of interconnect routing resources (Figure
1-1).
Figure 1-1 •
40MX Logic Module
The logic module can implement the four basic logic functions (NAND, AND, OR and NOR) in gates of
two, three, or four inputs. The logic module can also implement a variety of D-latches, exclusivity
functions, AND-ORs and OR-ANDs. No dedicated hardwired latches or flip-flops are required in the
array; latches and flip-flops can be constructed from logic modules whenever required in the
application.
