APA150-PQG208

The APA150-PQG208 is a ProASICPLUS Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from Microchip Technology. It provides reconfigurable logic with 6,144 logic elements, 36,864 bits of on-chip RAM and 158 I/O in a 208-BFQFP surface-mount package.

Designed for commercial-grade applications, the device combines a substantial logic capacity and embedded memory with a compact package and low-voltage operation to meet a range of commercial embedded design requirements.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 6,144 logic elements (LAB/CLB equivalent) supporting up to 150,000 gates for implementing custom digital logic.
• Embedded Memory — 36,864 bits of total on-chip RAM for local buffering, state storage, and small data structures.
• I/O — 158 available general-purpose I/O pins to interface with peripherals and external circuitry.
• Power — Operates from a 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply range, compatible with common low-voltage system rails.
• Package & Mounting — 208-BFQFP package (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28×28 mm) with surface-mount mounting for PCB assembly.
• Temperature & Grade — Commercial-grade device rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operating temperature.
• Compliance — RoHS-compliant construction for environmental regulatory requirements.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems — Implement custom control, glue logic, and peripheral interfacing using the device’s logic capacity and 158 I/O.
• Interface and Protocol Bridging — Use on-chip logic and I/O to translate or bridge between digital interfaces within commercial equipment.
• Prototyping and Development — Evaluate custom logic functions and small-scale designs that require reprogrammable hardware and on-chip RAM.

Unique Advantages

• High Logic Density in a Compact Package: 6,144 logic elements and support for 150,000 gates in a 208-BFQFP footprint provide substantial capability in a space-efficient form factor.
• Integrated On-Chip RAM: 36,864 bits of embedded memory enable local data storage without external memory components.
• Broad I/O Count: 158 I/O pins give flexibility for connecting multiple peripherals and external logic.
• Low-Voltage Operation: Native 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply compatibility for systems designed around low-voltage rails.
• Commercial Temperature and RoHS Compliance: Commercial-grade operating range (0 °C to 70 °C) and RoHS compliance for mainstream product deployments.
