APA450-FG256I

The APA450-FG256I is a ProASICPLUS field programmable gate array (FPGA) optimized for mid-range embedded designs. It provides a balanced combination of logic capacity, on-chip memory, and a high I/O count in a compact 256-ball L-BGA package for surface-mount assembly.

Targeted at industrial applications, the device delivers 12,288 logic elements and approximately 0.11 Mbits of embedded memory to support control, interfacing, and signal conditioning tasks while operating from a 2.3–2.7 V supply across an industrial temperature range.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Approximately 12,288 logic elements (12288) providing around 450,000 gates for medium-complexity FPGA designs.
• Embedded Memory  Total on-chip RAM of 110,592 bits, approximately 0.11 Mbits of embedded memory for buffering, state machines, and small data storage.
• I/O Density  186 user I/Os to support multiple interfaces, parallel buses, and multi-channel I/O integration in a single device.
• Power Supply  Operates from a 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply, enabling compatibility with common low-voltage logic domains.
• Package & Mounting  256-LBGA surface-mount package (supplier device package: 256-FPBGA, 17×17) for high pin-count in a compact footprint.
• Operating Range  Industrial-grade operation with a specified temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C for reliable field deployment.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Logic and interface consolidation in PLCs, motor controllers, and factory automation equipment where industrial temperature operation is required.
• Embedded Systems  Custom glue-logic, peripheral aggregation, and state-machine implementations using the device’s 12,288 logic elements and on-chip RAM.
• Communications Modules  I/O-rich front-end modules and protocol bridging that benefit from 186 user I/Os for multiple serial and parallel interfaces.
• Instrumentation & Test Equipment  Signal conditioning, timing, and data-handling functions in compact instrument designs leveraging the device’s gate and memory resources.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory:  12,288 logic elements paired with 110,592 bits of embedded RAM support a wide range of mid-complexity digital functions without external memory.
• High I/O Count in a Compact Package:  186 I/Os in a 256-LBGA (256-FPBGA, 17×17) footprint reduce board area while enabling multiple interfaces and channel expansion.
• Industrial Temperature Capability:  Rated from −40 °C to 85 °C to meet the environmental demands of deployed industrial systems.
• Low-Voltage Operation:  2.3–2.7 V supply range accommodates common low-voltage system domains and simplifies power-supply design.
• Regulatory Compliance:  RoHS compliance supports environmentally conscious manufacturing requirements.
