Overview of APA300-FG256 – ProASICPLUS FPGA, 8,192 Logic Elements, 256-LBGA
The APA300-FG256 is a ProASICPLUS field programmable gate array (FPGA) provided as a commercial-grade surface-mount device. It delivers 8,192 logic elements and approximately 0.074 Mbits of embedded memory in a compact 256-LBGA package for programmable logic and integration tasks in commercial electronic designs.
Key Features
- Core Logic 8,192 logic elements providing reconfigurable logic capacity for glue logic, control functions, and custom digital blocks.
- Gate Count Approximately 300,000 gates for implementing moderate-complexity digital designs.
- Embedded Memory Approximately 0.074 Mbits of on-chip RAM (73,728 bits) to support data buffering, small FIFOs, and state storage without external memory.
- I/O Capacity 186 user I/O pins to interface with peripherals, sensors, and external devices directly from the FPGA.
- Power Operates from a 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply range suitable for standard commercial power domains.
- Package & Mounting 256-LBGA (supplier package: 256-FPBGA, 17×17) in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB layouts.
- Operating Conditions Commercial-grade operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
- Compliance RoHS compliant for alignment with lead-free manufacturing processes.
Typical Applications
- Embedded Control Implement control logic, protocol handling, and custom state machines using the device's logic elements and on-chip RAM.
- I/O Expansion and Bridging Use the 186 I/Os to aggregate signals, perform protocol conversion, or act as an interface hub between subsystems.
- Prototyping and Development Fit moderate-complexity designs and proof-of-concept implementations where reprogrammable logic and compact packaging are required.
Unique Advantages
- Highly integrated logic and memory: Combines 8,192 logic elements with embedded RAM to reduce the need for external components and simplify board-level design.
- Ample I/O count: 186 user I/Os provide flexible connectivity for interfaces, sensors, and peripheral devices.
- Compact BGA package: 256-LBGA (256-FPBGA, 17×17) supports dense PCB layouts while maintaining surface-mount assembly compatibility.
- Narrow supply window: A defined 2.3 V–2.7 V supply range aids predictable power planning in commercial systems.
- Commercial-grade operation: Specified for 0 °C to 70 °C operation to match standard commercial product environments.
- RoHS compliant: Supports lead-free manufacturing and environmental compliance requirements.
