APA450-PQG208A

The APA450-PQG208A is a ProASICPLUS field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology, offering a balance of on-chip logic, embedded memory and I/O connectivity in a surface-mount 208-BFQFP package. With 12,288 logic elements and approximately 0.11 Mbits of embedded RAM, the device targets applications that require reconfigurable logic capacity alongside automotive-grade reliability.

Qualified to AEC‑Q100 and rated for operation from -40 °C to 125 °C, this FPGA supports designs that demand wide temperature operation and long-term robustness, while a narrow supply range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V enables predictable power integration in tightly specified systems.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Provides 12,288 logic elements (equivalent gate count: 450,000) to implement complex digital functions and custom logic blocks.
• Embedded Memory  Includes 110,592 bits of on-chip RAM (approximately 0.11 Mbits) for buffering, state storage and data manipulation without external memory.
• I/O and Package  Offers 158 I/O pins in a 208-BFQFP (supplier package: 208-PQFP 28×28) surface-mount package for dense board-level integration and flexible interfacing.
• Power Supply  Operates from a defined supply range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V for consistent power budgeting and system design.
• Automotive Qualification & Temperature Range  Grade: Automotive with AEC‑Q100 qualification and an operating range of -40 °C to 125 °C for vehicle and temperature-challenging environments.
• RoHS Compliant  Manufactured in accordance with RoHS requirements for regulatory and environmental compliance.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics  Automotive-grade qualification (AEC‑Q100) and wide temperature range make this FPGA suitable for in-vehicle control, sensor interface, and other automotive logic functions.
• Embedded system integration  High logic density and abundant I/Os enable consolidation of glue logic and custom peripherals in compact embedded designs.
• Industrial equipment operating over wide temperatures  The -40 °C to 125 °C rating supports designs that must operate reliably across extended temperature ranges.
• Board-level assemblies  Surface-mount 208-BFQFP packaging facilitates automated PCB assembly and space-efficient placement in production hardware.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated logic capacity: 12,288 logic elements and 450,000 equivalent gates enable substantial on-chip implementation of digital functions, reducing external components.
