APA450-FG144A

The APA450-FG144A is a ProASICPLUS field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology. It delivers 12288 logic elements and approximately 0.11 Mbits of embedded RAM in a compact 144-LBGA package intended for surface-mount assembly.

Designed for applications that require a qualified, programmable logic device, this device combines a 100-pin I/O count, 450,000 gates and a narrow supply voltage range to support deterministic system-level integration across a wide operating temperature range.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  12288 logic elements provide a programmable fabric suitable for moderate-complexity logic integration and customization.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.11 Mbits of on-chip RAM (110,592 total RAM bits) for buffering, state storage and small data structures.
• Gate Count  450,000 gates for estimating integration density and partitioning of logic functions.
• I/O  100 programmable I/O pins to interface with peripherals, sensors and external logic.
• Supply Voltage  Operates from 2.375 V to 2.625 V to match narrow-voltage system domains.
• Package & Mounting  144-LBGA package (supplier device package: 144-FPBGA, 13×13) in a surface-mount form factor for space-efficient board layouts.
• Automotive Qualification  Automotive grade with AEC-Q100 qualification and an operating temperature range of -40 °C to 125 °C for use in demanding environments.
• RoHS Compliance  RoHS compliant for regulatory and environmental considerations.

Typical Applications

• Automotive control systems  AEC-Q100 qualification and extended -40 °C to 125 °C rating make the device suitable for in-vehicle programmable logic tasks and control functions.
• Industrial automation  100 I/O and configurable logic elements enable sensor interfacing, I/O consolidation and custom control logic in harsh industrial environments.
• Embedded system glue logic  Use the FPGA to integrate custom interfaces, protocol bridging and peripheral control while reducing discrete component count.

Unique Advantages

• Qualified for automotive use: AEC-Q100 qualification and automotive grade designation support deployment in transportation applications requiring recognized component qualification.
• Compact, board-friendly package: 144-LBGA (144-FPBGA, 13×13) surface-mount package balances small footprint with adequate I/O for mid-density designs.
• Stable supply window: Narrow voltage supply range (2.375 V to 2.625 V) helps maintain predictable device behavior within controlled power domains.
• On-chip memory for local buffering: Approximately 0.11 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces dependency on external memory for small data storage and state machines.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to environmental regulations for lead-free assembly and global market acceptance.
