APA450-FG484

The APA450-FG484 is a ProASICPLUS field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology, offered in a 484-ball BGA package. It provides a mid-range programmable logic resource set with 12,288 logic elements and a gate count of 450,000 for commercial-grade applications.

With 344 user I/O pins, approximately 0.11 Mbits of embedded memory, and a low-voltage supply range, this device targets designs that require significant I/O capacity and on-chip memory within a compact surface-mount BGA footprint.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 12,288 logic elements (LEs) and a total gate equivalent of 450,000 provide flexible combinational and sequential logic resources for medium-density designs.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 0.11 Mbits of on-chip RAM (110,592 total RAM bits) to support buffering, small data tables, and state storage without external memory.
• I/O Density — 344 user I/O pins to support dense peripheral interfacing, multi-channel I/O, and complex board-level interconnect requirements.
• Power — Operates from a 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply range, suitable for low-voltage system domains.
• Package & Mounting — 484-BGA package, supplier device package 484-FPBGA (23×23), designed for surface-mount assembly to minimize PCB area.
• Operating Conditions — Commercial temperature range rated from 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• I/O‑intensive control and glue logic — Use the device where numerous parallel interfaces or board-level signal routing require a high count of user I/O pins.
• Embedded logic and state machines — Leverage the 12,288 logic elements and on-chip RAM for finite-state machines, protocol conversion, and control logic without external CPLDs.
• Compact, low-voltage systems — The 484-FPBGA package and 2.3–2.7 V operation suit compact commercial electronics where board space and low-voltage domains are priorities.

Unique Advantages

• High I/O count: 344 user I/O pins enable dense interfacing and support for multi-channel or multi-protocol designs, reducing the need for extra external interface chips.
• Substantial logic integration: 12,288 logic elements and 450,000 gate equivalents consolidate medium-complexity logic into a single device, simplifying PCB layout and reducing BOM.
• On‑chip memory: Approximately 0.11 Mbits of embedded RAM provides local storage for buffering and state, lowering dependence on external memory devices.
• Compact BGA footprint: The 484-FPBGA (23×23) BGA package delivers a space-saving solution for surface-mount assembly on compact commercial boards.
• Commercial temperature rating: Rated 0 °C to 70 °C for general commercial deployments where standard operating ranges are required.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmentally conscious manufacturing and end-product regulatory needs.
