APA450-FGG256A

The APA450-FGG256A is a ProASICPLUS field programmable gate array (FPGA) provided in a 256-LBGA surface-mount package. It integrates 12,288 logic elements, approximately 0.11 Mbits of embedded RAM, and 186 I/O to support mid-density programmable logic implementations.

Designed and qualified for automotive use (AEC-Q100), this device targets applications that require moderate logic density, a wide operating temperature range, and a compact BGA package with a defined supply voltage window for stable operation.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Provides 12,288 logic elements (CLBs) and an equivalent gate count of 450,000 for implementing combinational and sequential logic functions.
• Embedded Memory  Includes a total of 110,592 bits of on-chip RAM (approximately 0.11 Mbits) for buffering, state storage, and small lookup tables.
• I/O Resources  186 general-purpose I/O pins to support multiple peripheral interfaces and signal routing in compact designs.
• Automotive Qualification  AEC-Q100 qualified and designated as automotive grade to meet automotive electronics qualification requirements.
• Package and Mounting  256-LBGA (supplier device package: 256-FPBGA, 17×17) in a surface-mount form factor for space-constrained boards.
• Power Supply  Specified supply voltage range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V to match systems with tight core-voltage requirements.
• Temperature Range  Rated for operation from −40 °C to 125 °C to support deployment across wide-temperature environments.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Control Systems  Leverages AEC-Q100 qualification, wide operating temperature, and I/O count for functions such as sensor interface, body electronics, and control logic.
• Embedded Control  Offers a balance of logic resources and on-chip RAM suitable for embedded control tasks, state machines, and custom peripheral aggregation.
• Communications and Interface Bridging  Provides sufficient I/O and logic elements for protocol conversion, signal conditioning, and medium-complexity interface logic.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive-qualified device: AEC-Q100 qualification and automotive grade designation provide a clear fit for vehicle electronics and other high-reliability applications.
• Balanced logic and memory: 12,288 logic elements combined with approximately 0.11 Mbits of on-chip RAM supports a broad range of mid-density programmable designs.
• Generous I/O count: 186 I/Os enable multiple peripheral connections and flexible board-level integration without large external GPIO expanders.
• Compact BGA package: 256-LBGA (17×17 FPBGA) provides a space-efficient footprint for compact systems while maintaining thermal and routing characteristics of a BGA.
• Wide temperature and controlled supply: Operation from −40 °C to 125 °C and a defined 2.375–2.625 V supply range simplify thermal and power provisioning for demanding environments.
