APA300-CQ208M

The APA300-CQ208M is a ProASICPLUS field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology designed for military-grade, high-reliability applications. It provides a balanced combination of programmable logic, on-chip memory, and a high pin count in a 208-BFCQFP package with tie bar.

With 8,192 logic elements, 73,728 bits of embedded RAM, 158 I/O pins and support for a 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply, this device addresses designs that require qualified hardware, robust temperature range and dense I/O connectivity.

Key Features

• Core & Logic: 8,192 logic elements and approximately 300,000 equivalent gates provide programmable logic resources for custom digital designs.
• Embedded Memory: 73,728 bits of on-chip RAM for buffering, state storage and small on-chip data structures.
• I/O Capacity: 158 general-purpose I/O pins to support high-pin-count interfacing and multiple external peripherals.
• Power Supply: Operates from a 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply, enabling designs within that nominal core-voltage range.
• Package & Mounting: 208-BFCQFP package with tie bar (supplier package 208-CQFP, 75 × 75 mm); surface-mount mounting for PCB assembly.
• Reliability & Qualification: Military grade device qualified to MIL-STD-883 for applications requiring documented qualification.
• Operating Range: Specified for –55 °C to 125 °C operation to meet wide temperature system requirements.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliant for lead-free process compatibility.

Typical Applications

• Military & Defense Electronics: Implement custom logic and interfaces in systems that require MIL-STD-883 qualification and wide operating temperature support.
• High-Reliability Embedded Control: Control functions and deterministic logic for embedded platforms operating across extreme temperature ranges.
• I/O-Intensive Interfaces: Bridge, protocol conversion and multi-peripheral interfaces that benefit from a high count of general-purpose I/O pins.
• On-Board Data Buffering: Small embedded memory can be used for buffering and state storage in compact logic designs.

Unique Advantages

• Military Qualification: MIL-STD-883 qualification provides documented assurance for high-reliability defense applications.
• Wide Temperature Rating: –55 °C to 125 °C operating range supports deployments in harsh thermal environments.
• High I/O Density: 158 I/O pins enable complex interfacing without external expanders, simplifying board-level design.
• Balanced Logic & Memory: 8,192 logic elements paired with 73,728 bits of RAM deliver a practical mix of programmable capacity and on-chip storage for many embedded tasks.
• Surface-Mount Packaging: 208-BFCQFP with tie bar in a 75 × 75 supply package supports standard PCB assembly flows for medium-pin-count FPGAs.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports lead-free manufacturing requirements.
