APA450-PQ208

The APA450-PQ208 is a ProASICPLUS field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology designed for commercial embedded logic applications. It provides a balance of programmable logic, embedded RAM, and a high I/O count in a surface-mount 208-pin BFQFP package for board-level integration.

With 12,288 logic elements and approximately 110,592 bits of on-chip RAM, this device targets designs that require moderate logic capacity, flexible I/O, and low-voltage operation within a commercial temperature range.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  12,288 logic elements and approximately 450,000 gates provide the core programmable resources for implementing custom digital logic and control functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 110,592 bits of on-chip RAM support buffering, small lookup tables, and state storage without external memory.
• I/O Count  158 user I/Os enable multiple parallel interfaces and peripheral connections directly from the FPGA fabric.
• Package & Mounting  208-BFQFP package (supplier package: 208-PQFP, 28 × 28 mm) in a surface-mount form factor suitable for compact PCB layouts.
• Supply Voltage  Operates from 2.3 V to 2.7 V, supporting low-voltage system domains.
• Temperature & Grade  Commercial grade device rated for operation from 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant to meet common environmental manufacturing requirements.

Unique Advantages

• Significant on-chip logic: 12,288 logic elements and ~450,000 gates enable implementation of substantial custom logic without excessive external components.
• Embedded RAM for local buffering: Approximately 110,592 bits of memory reduce dependence on external RAM for small data storage and FIFO needs.
• High I/O density: 158 I/Os provide flexibility for connecting multiple peripherals, sensors, or interface buses directly to the FPGA.
• Compact surface-mount package: The 208-pin BFQFP (28 × 28 mm) package supports dense board layouts while keeping the design surface-mount friendly.
• Low-voltage operation: 2.3 V–2.7 V supply range aligns with common low-voltage digital systems and modern power domains.
• Commercial-ready and RoHS compliant: Suitable for mainstream electronic products with environmental compliance for manufacturing.
