APA150-FGG256

The APA150-FGG256 is a ProASICPLUS field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology designed for commercial embedded logic applications. It delivers 6,144 logic elements, 36,864 bits of on-chip RAM, and up to 186 I/Os in a compact 256-ball LFBGA package, providing a balance of logic capacity and I/O density for system-level integration.

With a nominal supply range of 2.3 V to 2.7 V and a commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C, this surface-mount FPGA is suited for standard commercial designs that require moderate gate counts and embedded memory capacity while remaining RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Core Logic  6,144 logic elements (cells) with an overall gate-equivalent count of 150,000 providing programmable combinational and sequential resources.
• Embedded Memory  36,864 bits of on-chip RAM (approximately 36.9 kbits) for data buffering, state storage, and small lookup tables.
• I/O Density  186 user I/O pins to support a wide range of peripheral interfaces and board-level connectivity.
• Power  Single supply operation across 2.3 V to 2.7 V to match common system rail voltages.
• Package & Mounting  256-ball LFBGA (Supplier package: 256-FPBGA, 17×17 mm) in a surface-mount form factor for compact, high-density board layouts.
• Operating Range & Grade  Commercial grade device rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant to meet typical environmental and regulatory requirements for commercial electronic products.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Logic Systems  Implement custom state machines, glue logic, and protocol converters using the device’s 6,144 logic elements and 186 I/Os.
• Control and Interface Modules  Use the on-chip RAM and abundant I/O to handle buffering, signal conditioning, and peripheral interfacing in control applications.
• Prototype and Development Platforms  Leverage the surface-mount 256-LBGA package and commercial-grade rating for rapid evaluation and integration into development boards.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory:  6,144 logic elements paired with 36,864 bits of RAM provide a mid-range resource set for mixed control and data tasks.
• High I/O Count:  186 I/Os enable extensive peripheral connections without external GPIO expanders, simplifying board-level design.
• Compact, Industry-Standard Package:  256-ball LFBGA (17×17 mm supplier package) allows for high-density PCB layouts while maintaining manufacturability as a surface-mount part.
• Low-Voltage Operation:  2.3 V to 2.7 V supply compatibility supports integration with common low-voltage system rails.
• Regulatory Compliance:  RoHS compliance reduces risk for commercial product deployment in regions requiring lead-free components.
