Overview of APA300-FG256M – ProASICPLUS FPGA, 186 I/O, 256-LBGA
The APA300-FG256M is a ProASICPLUS Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC offering deterministic, reprogrammable logic with 8192 logic elements and approximately 0.074 Mbits of embedded memory. Designed and qualified for military use, it provides a compact, surface-mount FPGA solution for designs that require rugged operation and high I/O density.
Its combination of 186 I/O, 300,000 gates and MIL-STD-883 qualification makes the APA300-FG256M suited for systems that demand extended temperature operation, controlled-power rails, and proven manufacturing qualification.
Key Features
- Core Logic 8192 logic elements and 300,000 gates deliver programmable logic capacity for control, glue-logic, and moderate-density FPGA designs.
- Embedded Memory Approximately 0.074 Mbits (73,728 bits) of on-chip RAM for small data buffering, state storage, and internal FIFO implementation.
- I/O Density 186 user I/O pins support high-pin-count interfaces and multi-signal connectivity in a single device footprint.
- Package and Mounting 256-LBGA (supplier package: 256-FPBGA, 17×17) in a surface-mount package suitable for compact board layouts.
- Power Single-supply operation from 2.3 V to 2.7 V to match system power architectures that use tightly controlled core rails.
- Reliability and Qualification Military grade with MIL-STD-883 qualification and an operating temperature range of −55 °C to 125 °C for rugged, temperature-extreme applications.
- Environmental Compliance RoHS compliant to support environmentally conscious manufacturing and assembly processes.
Typical Applications
- Military and Aerospace Electronics — MIL-STD-883 qualification and −55 °C to 125 °C operation support avionics, ruggedized computing, and mission-critical subsystems.
- Embedded Control Systems — Logic capacity and I/O count make the device suitable for real-time control, protocol bridging, and custom state machines.
- Communications Equipment — High I/O density enables implementation of interface logic and packet handling functions in communications line cards and radios.
Unique Advantages
- Qualified for Military Use: MIL-STD-883 qualification provides a proven manufacturing and test baseline for defense and aerospace programs.
- Extended Temperature Range: Operation from −55 °C to 125 °C supports deployment in harsh thermal environments without additional thermal derating.
- Compact High-Pin Package: The 256-LBGA (17×17 FPBGA) package delivers 186 I/Os in a space-efficient surface-mount form factor for dense board designs.
- Controlled Voltage Supply: 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply range aligns with systems using low-voltage core rails to simplify power distribution.
- On-Chip Memory for Local Data Handling: Approximately 0.074 Mbits of embedded RAM supports buffering and state retention without external memory.
