APA300-PQ208M

Part of Microchip’s ProASICPLUS flash FPGA family, the APA300-PQ208M combines approximately 300,000 system gates with a 208-lead PQFP package and is rated for the full military temperature range (−55°C to +125°C). Its non-volatile, single-chip architecture stores configuration in on-chip flash cells, enabling live-at-power-up operation without an external boot memory while resisting configuration corruption in high-radiation or noisy environments. This device has been officially discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer in active production. ZZX Electronics supplies legacy stock of this end-of-life FPGA with full date-code traceability, allowing maintenance of existing defense, aerospace, and industrial systems where a drop-in obsolete part avoids the extensive cost and schedule impact of board redesign and re-certification.

Typical deployments include mission-critical embedded controllers, secure military communication processors, avionics interface modules, and ruggedized industrial automation equipment. The military temperature grade and flash-based reliability make it suitable for long-fielded platforms operating under extended thermal stress and demanding signal integrity. For procurement and sustainment engineers managing locked bill-of-material designs, acquiring verified, traceable inventory of this discontinued ProASICPLUS FPGA provides a practical path to extending system service life without introducing the qualification risk of an alternative device or board respin.
