APA450-FG144I

The APA450-FG144I is a ProASICPLUS field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology, provided in a compact 144-LBGA package. With 12,288 logic elements, 100 user I/O and approximately 0.11 Mbits of embedded memory, it targets medium-density custom logic and interface functions in industrial applications.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 12,288 logic elements (equivalent to the device's internal logic resource count) and approximately 450,000 gates to implement medium-complexity custom digital functions.
• On-Chip Memory — Approximately 0.11 Mbits of embedded RAM to support buffering, small data tables and local storage for control logic.
• I/O Resources — 100 I/O pins for flexible interfacing to sensors, peripherals and external buses in compact systems.
• Power Supply — Single supply operation in the 2.3 V to 2.7 V range suitable for low-voltage system domains.
• Package & Mounting — 144-LBGA package (supplier package: 144-FPBGA, 13×13) in a surface-mount form factor for space-efficient board layouts.
• Operating Range — Industrial temperature rating from -40 °C to 85 °C for deployment in temperature-demanding environments.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant, meeting lead-free manufacturing requirements.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Use the APA450-FG144I for custom control logic, sequencing and deterministic I/O handling in industrial automation equipment, leveraging its industrial temperature range and ample I/O.
• Interface Bridging — Implement protocol bridging and glue-logic between controllers, sensors and field devices using the device's 100 I/O and logic resources.
• Embedded System Integration — Integrate peripheral controllers, timing logic and small-data processing close to the host CPU to reduce system BOM and board complexity.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory — 12,288 logic elements combined with approximately 0.11 Mbits of embedded RAM enable both combinational logic and modest local storage within one device.
• Ample I/O in a Compact Package — 100 I/O pins in a 144-LBGA footprint provide a high pin-count solution while preserving board area.
• Industrial Reliability — Specified for -40 °C to 85 °C operation, making it suitable for industrial deployments where temperature resilience is required.
• Low-Voltage Operation — 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply supports integration into modern low-voltage system domains.
• Manufacturing Friendly — Surface-mount 144-FPBGA (13×13) packaging simplifies automated assembly and reduces mechanical profiles.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliance supports environmentally conscious and lead-free production processes.
