APA300-PQG208

The APA300-PQG208 is a ProASICPLUS field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology designed for commercial-grade applications. It provides a balance of programmable logic capacity, on-chip memory, and a high I/O count in a 208-pin BFQFP surface-mount package.

With defined operating conditions and a compact package footprint, this FPGA suits designs that require configurable digital logic, moderate embedded memory, and extensive external connectivity at standard commercial temperatures.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Approximately 8,192 logic elements (cells) enabling implementation of custom digital functions and moderate-complexity designs.
• On-Chip Memory  73,728 bits of embedded RAM—approximately 0.074 Mbits—available for data buffering, small lookup tables, and state storage.
• Gate Count  Around 300,000 gates of combinational/sequential resources to support a range of programmable logic requirements.
• I/O Resources  158 general-purpose I/Os to support multiple external interfaces, sensors, and peripheral connections.
• Power  Operates from a 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply range suitable for low-voltage system domains.
• Package & Mounting  Supplied in a 208-BFQFP package (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28×28) for surface-mount PCB assembly.
• Commercial Operating Range  Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation for standard commercial-environment deployments.
• RoHS Compliant  Manufactured in compliance with RoHS requirements.

Typical Applications

• Custom Digital Logic Prototyping  Use the programmable logic and logic-element density to prototype and validate digital functions before volume implementation.
• I/O Expansion and Interface Bridging  Leverage 158 I/Os to implement interface translation, bus bridging, or glue-logic between multiple peripherals and controllers.
• Embedded Control and State Machines  Deploy the logic elements and on-chip memory to implement control state machines and deterministic embedded control tasks within commercial systems.
• Signal Conditioning and Data Packing  Use the FPGA’s gates and RAM to perform simple signal formatting, buffering, and data aggregation for downstream processing.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory:  8,192 logic elements paired with 73,728 bits of embedded RAM provide an efficient mix for mid-complexity designs without external memory.
• High I/O Count:  158 I/Os simplify system integration by accommodating multiple peripherals and interfaces directly on-chip, reducing external glue components.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package:  The 208-BFQFP (208-PQFP, 28×28) package supports dense PCB layouts while remaining compatible with standard surface-mount assembly processes.
• Low-Voltage Operation:  2.3 V to 2.7 V supply range supports integration with modern low-voltage digital domains.
• Commercial Temperature Rating:  Specified 0 °C to 70 °C operating range fits a wide range of commercial applications and environments.
• RoHS Compliance:  Meets RoHS requirements for environmentally conscious manufacturing and supply-chain compliance.
