APA150-PQ208A

The APA150-PQ208A is a ProASICPLUS field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology, offering a mid-range logic density in a 208-pin PQFP package. With 6,144 logic elements and approximately 36,864 bits of on-chip RAM, this device is suited to embedded control, sensor interfacing and I/O-dense applications that require a qualified, automotive-grade FPGA.

Designed for surface-mount assembly and rated to operate across a wide temperature window, the APA150-PQ208A combines a 150,000-gate equivalent fabric with 158 I/O pins and a tight supply range to support robust, compact system designs.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  6,144 logic elements (cells) and a 150,000-gate equivalent fabric provide mid-range combinational and sequential logic resources for complex control and processing tasks.
• Embedded Memory  36,864 bits of on-chip RAM for small buffers, state storage and register files directly in the FPGA fabric.
• I/O and Connectivity  158 user I/Os support multiple external interfaces and dense sensor/actuator connectivity from a single device.
• Power and Supply  Operates from a 2.375 V to 2.625 V supply range for compatible system power architectures.
• Package and Mounting  Supplied in a 208-BFQFP / 208-PQFP (28×28) package in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB layouts.
• Automotive Qualification  Automotive grade with AEC-Q100 qualification for designs requiring proven semiconductor qualification for automotive applications.
• Operating Range  Extended operating temperature range of -40 °C to 125 °C for deployment in harsh environments.
• Environment  RoHS compliant to meet common environmental and manufacturing requirements.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Controls  Engine, body or chassis control subsystems that need an AEC‑Q100 qualified programmable device with extended temperature tolerance and robust I/O connectivity.
• Sensor and Actuator Interfaces  Dense I/O count and embedded RAM support aggregation, conditioning and timing for sensor arrays and actuator control.
• Embedded Control Systems  Programmable logic for real-time control tasks and custom peripheral implementations in compact, surface-mount designs.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive‑grade qualification: AEC‑Q100 qualification provides confidence for vehicle-level deployments and reliability-focused designs.
• Compact, manufacturable package: 208-pin PQFP in a surface-mount form factor enables high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly.
• Broad operating range: -40 °C to 125 °C rating supports thermal extremes found in industrial and automotive environments.
• Balanced logic and I/O resources: 6,144 logic elements paired with 158 I/Os strike a practical balance for mid-complexity FPGA tasks without excessive board-level integration.
• Tight supply window: 2.375 V to 2.625 V operation aligns with common system power rails for predictable integration.
