APA600-PQG208

The APA600-PQG208 is a ProASICPLUS Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology designed for commercial embedded applications. This flash-based FPGA integrates 21,504 logic elements and approximately 0.129 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support moderate-density logic and buffering needs while offering up to 158 user I/O pins.

With a 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply range, 208-pin BFQFP package, and surface-mount construction, the APA600-PQG208 is suited for compact board-level integration where predictable power and I/O capability are required within a 0 °C to 70 °C operating range.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Provides 21,504 logic elements (LEs), enabling implementation of moderate-complexity digital systems and glue-logic integration.
• Embedded Memory  Includes 129,024 bits of on-chip RAM (approximately 0.129 Mbits) for data buffering, FIFOs, and small lookup tables.
• Programmable I/O  158 user I/O pins offer flexible external interfacing for sensors, peripherals, and parallel/serial buses.
• Gate Count  Approximately 600,000 gates to describe overall device complexity and integration density for mixed logic designs.
• Power  Operates from a single 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply, enabling straightforward power supply design in compatible systems.
• Package and Mounting  Supplied in a 208-BFQFP surface-mount package (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28 × 28), simplifying PCB layout for area-constrained designs.
• Commercial Grade  Rated for operation from 0 °C to 70 °C, suitable for standard commercial-environment applications.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant for environmental and regulatory conformity in most commercial product lines.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control  Used for implementing control logic, state machines, and interface bridging in embedded systems that require moderate logic density and flexible I/O.
• Consumer Electronics  Provides programmable glue logic and peripheral interfacing for consumer devices where compact packaging and surface-mount assembly are needed.
• Communications Equipment  Serves in protocol parsing, buffering, and custom logic functions that benefit from on-chip RAM and a substantial number of I/O pins.
• Prototyping & Development  Well-suited for proof-of-concept designs and iterative development where reprogrammable logic and moderate resource counts are required.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory:  21,504 logic elements combined with approximately 0.129 Mbits of embedded RAM enable a mix of combinational logic and local buffering without external memory for many use cases.
• Ample I/O Count:  158 I/O pins support multiple peripheral interfaces and sensor arrays, reducing the need for external I/O expanders.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package:  208-BFQFP package offers a high-pin-count solution in a footprint compatible with automated PCB assembly.
• Straightforward Power Requirements:  Single 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply simplifies power-supply design and integration into existing boards.
• Commercial Temperature Range:  0 °C to 70 °C rating fits typical indoor and consumer-facing environments.
• Regulatory Compliance:  RoHS compliance supports environmental and manufacturing requirements for commercial products.
