APA300-CQ208B

The APA300-CQ208B is a ProASICPLUS field programmable gate array (FPGA) IC from Microchip Technology, designed for applications requiring military-grade environmental performance. It consolidates logic, on-chip RAM, and a high count of I/O in a 208-pin BFCQFP package with tie bar.

With 8,192 logic elements and 300,000 gates, the device targets embedded systems and rugged electronics where a 158-pin I/O footprint, a 2.3 V–2.7 V supply window, and an extended operating range of –55 °C to 125 °C are required.

Key Features

• Core Logic  8,192 logic elements and approximately 300,000 gates provide the programmable fabric for custom digital functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.074 Mbits (73,728 bits) of on-chip RAM for buffering, state storage, and small lookup tables.
• I/O Density  158 user I/O pins support complex interfacing and multiple peripheral connections in a single device.
• Power Domain  Single supply operation from 2.3 V to 2.7 V to match systems using similar core/bus voltages.
• Package and Mounting  208-BFCQFP with tie bar (supplier package: 208-CQFP, 75 × 75) in a surface-mount form factor for board-level assembly.
• Environmental and Grade  Military-grade device rated for an operating temperature range of –55 °C to 125 °C and RoHS compliance for environmental conformance.

Typical Applications

• Military and Defense Systems  Use in rugged avionics, communications, and control electronics where military-grade temperature range and reliability are required.
• Embedded Control  Implement custom control logic and state machines using the 8,192 logic elements and on-chip RAM for real-time operations.
• High-Density I/O Interfaces  Leverage 158 I/O pins for sensor aggregation, actuator control, and multi-channel peripheral interfacing.
• Ruggedized Electronics  Deploy in applications that demand surface-mount packaging and extended temperature operation for reliability in harsh environments.

Unique Advantages

• Military-Grade Operating Range:  Rated from –55 °C to 125 °C, the APA300-CQ208B supports designs that must operate across extreme temperature environments.
• High Logic Capacity:  8,192 logic elements and ~300,000 gates provide substantial programmable resources for complex digital designs.
