APA450-FG256

The APA450-FG256 is a ProASICPLUS field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology, delivered in a 256-LBGA surface-mount package. It provides a balance of logic capacity, embedded memory and I/O density for commercial electronic designs.

With 450,000 gates, 12,288 logic elements and approximately 0.11 Mbits of on-chip RAM, this device targets commercial embedded applications that require substantial programmable logic and a high count of I/O in a compact BGA footprint. The device operates from a 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply and is specified for 0 °C to 70 °C operation.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  450,000 gates and 12,288 logic elements provide substantial programmable logic resources for custom function implementation.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.11 Mbits (110,592 bits) of on-chip RAM for state storage, buffering and small lookup tables.
• I/O Density  186 dedicated I/O pins to support parallel interfaces, sensor arrays or multi-channel control signals.
• Low-Voltage Operation  Designed for 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply rails to match modern commercial system voltage domains.
• Package and Mounting  256-LBGA surface-mount package (supplier device package: 256-FPBGA, 17 × 17 mm) for compact PCB layouts and reliable solder attachment.
• Commercial Grade & Compliance  Commercial temperature grade (0 °C to 70 °C) and RoHS-compliant construction for standard production environments.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems  Implement custom control, signal processing and glue-logic functions where a commercial-grade FPGA is required.
• OEM Electronic Products  Integrate high I/O counts and programmable logic into compact product designs using the 256-LBGA package.
• Prototyping and Development  Validate architectures and iterate on logic designs with substantial logic elements and embedded memory.
• I/O-Intensive Interfaces  Support multiple parallel interfaces or high-channel-count front-ends leveraging 186 I/O pins.

Unique Advantages

• High Logic Density: 12,288 logic elements and 450,000 gates enable implementation of complex custom logic without external glue components.
• On-Chip Memory: Approximately 0.11 Mbits of embedded RAM provides localized storage for buffers, FIFOs and LUT-based functions.
• Generous I/O Count: 186 I/O pins reduce the need for external I/O expanders and simplify board-level routing for multi-channel designs.
• Compact BGA Package: 256-LBGA (256-FPBGA, 17 × 17 mm) supports dense PCB implementations while maintaining surface-mount assembly.
• Commercial Temperature and RoHS Compliance: Specified 0 °C to 70 °C operation and RoHS conformity support standard production and environmental requirements.
• Low-Voltage Compatibility: 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply range fits common commercial power domains for streamlined system integration.
