APA150-FG256I

The APA150-FG256I is a ProASICPLUS flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology. It provides a fixed hardware resource set including 6,144 logic elements, approximately 0.0369 Mbits of embedded memory, and 186 I/O pins in a compact 256-LBGA package.

Designed for industrial-grade operation, the device supports a 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply range, surface-mount deployment, and an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C, offering a predictable hardware platform for embedded logic implementations.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  6,144 logic elements (equivalent to 150,000 gates) provide a defined resource set for combinational and sequential logic implementations.
• Embedded Memory  Total on-chip RAM of 36,864 bits (approximately 0.0369 Mbits) for small buffers, FIFOs, and state storage.
• I/O Count  186 general-purpose I/O pins to support broad interfacing needs without external multiplexing.
• Package  256-LBGA package (supplier device package: 256-FPBGA, 17 × 17) for a compact surface-mount footprint.
• Power  Operates from a 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply range to match system voltage domains.
• Temperature and Grade  Industrial grade device with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C for temperature-hardened deployments.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant, meeting common environmental requirements for electronic assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and I/O resources: 6,144 logic elements paired with 186 I/Os enable integration of moderate-complexity digital functions and direct sensor or peripheral interfacing.
• Embedded memory for control and buffering: 36,864 bits of on-chip RAM provide local storage for state machines, small FIFOs, and configuration data without external RAM.
• Industrial temperature range: Rated from −40 °C to 85 °C to support deployment in industrial environments.
• Compact board footprint: 256-LBGA (17 × 17 FPBGA) package supports space-constrained PCB layouts while maintaining high I/O density.
• Low-voltage operation: 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply compatibility facilitates integration into modern low-voltage systems.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to common environmental standards for electronics manufacturing.
