APA300-PQ208A

The APA300-PQ208A from Microchip Technology delivers breakthrough performance in Embedded - FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array) for scientific instrumentation and test equipment. This precision FPGA combines ultra-low noise analog capabilities with high-speed digital processing, enabling next-generation measurement systems. The architecture includes specialized blocks for time-to-digital conversion and synchronous sampling.With 73728 bits of low-noise memory, the FPGA buffers high-resolution measurement data without introducing artifacts. The memory subsystem implements error logging for statistical analysis of measurement reliability.The 158 precision analog-capable I/Os support direct sensor interfacing with femtoampere resolution. Each I/O bank includes programmable gain amplifiers for optimal signal conditioning.The 300000 equivalent gate count enables implementation of complex digital lock-in amplifiers. The hardened DSP blocks accelerate Fourier analysis for real-time spectrum processing.Operating from 2.375V ~ 2.625V, the ultra-clean power architecture achieves sub-microvolt noise levels. The isolated power domains prevent digital switching noise from affecting sensitive analog measurements.The Surface Mount package configuration minimizes thermoelectric effects in precision measurement applications. The low-thermal-EMF materials prevent measurement drift due to temperature gradients.Rated for -40°C ~ 125°C (TJ) operation, the device maintains metrological accuracy across laboratory conditions. The temperature compensation algorithms correct for minor parameter variations.The 208-BFQFP package design minimizes parasitic capacitance for high-impedance measurements. The guarded traces prevent leakage currents from affecting sensitive nodes.Available in 208-PQFP (28x28) format, the device meets calibration laboratory requirements. The packaging includes certification documentation for traceable measurements.
