APA150-PQG208A

The APA150-PQG208A is a ProASICPLUS field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology designed for mid-density programmable logic integration. It combines 6,144 logic elements with approximately 150,000 gates and 158 user I/Os to address embedded-control and interface tasks where a qualified, robust FPGA is required.

Specified for surface-mount applications in a 208-BFQFP package and qualified to AEC-Q100, this device supports automotive-grade operating conditions with a supply voltage range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V and an operating temperature range of -40 °C to 125 °C.

Key Features

• Core Density  6,144 logic elements providing roughly 150,000 gates for medium-complexity logic implementations.
• Embedded Memory  Total on-chip RAM of 36,864 bits, approximately 0.037 Mbits of embedded memory for data buffering and small lookup tables.
• I/O Resources  158 user I/O pins to support connectivity to sensors, peripherals, and external interfaces.
• Package & Mounting  208-BFQFP (supplier package 208-PQFP, 28 × 28) in a surface-mount configuration for compact PCB integration.
• Power  Nominal supply voltage range from 2.375 V to 2.625 V for core operation.
• Automotive Qualification & Temperature Range  AEC-Q100 qualified and rated for operation from -40 °C to 125 °C, suitable for automotive-grade applications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive control modules  AEC-Q100 qualification and extended temperature range make the device suitable for in-vehicle logic functions and control systems that require qualified components.
• Embedded control and interface logic  6144 logic elements and 158 I/Os enable implementation of custom control engines, protocol interfacing, and glue logic in embedded systems.
• Sensor aggregation and pre-processing  High I/O count supports direct connection to multiple sensors and peripherals for local data conditioning and aggregation.

Unique Advantages

• Qualified for automotive use  AEC-Q100 qualification plus -40 °C to 125 °C operating range reduce validation burden for automotive designs requiring qualified silicon.
• Balanced mid-range density  6,144 logic elements and ~150,000 gates provide a balance between capacity and board-level cost for moderate-complexity designs.
• Compact surface-mount package  208-BFQFP (28 × 28 PQFP footprint) offers a space-efficient option for PCB layouts while delivering substantial I/O count.
• Deterministic supply requirements  Narrow operating voltage window (2.375 V–2.625 V) simplifies power-rail design for core supply rails.
• On-chip RAM for local buffering  Approximately 0.037 Mbits of embedded memory supports small data buffers, FIFOs, and LUT-based functions without external RAM.
