AX1000-1BG729M

The AX1000-1BG729M is an Axcelerator family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology based on the AX antifuse architecture. This single-chip, nonvolatile FPGA combines high logic capacity with embedded memory, multiple PLLs and flexible multi-standard I/Os to address demanding, high-reliability designs.

Designed and specified for military-grade operation (–55 °C to +125 °C) and delivered in a 729-ball BGA package, the device targets applications that require deterministic timing, secure programming and robust performance across wide temperature and voltage ranges.

Key Features

• AX antifuse architecture (nonvolatile) Single-chip, nonvolatile solution with FuseLock™ programming technology for protection against reverse engineering and design theft.
• Logic capacity Approximately 1,000,000 equivalent system gates implemented as 18,144 logic elements for complex, high-density logic integration.
• Embedded memory 36 core RAM blocks totaling 165,888 bits of on-chip RAM (approximately 0.166 Mbits) with variable-aspect 4,608-bit blocks and embedded FIFO control logic.
• I/O and interface flexibility 516 user I/Os with bank-selectable, mixed-voltage operation (1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V) and support for single-ended and differential standards including LVDS and LVPECL; up to 700 Mb/s LVDS-capable I/Os.
• Clocking and PLLs Multiple segmentable clocks and embedded PLLs (family-level PLL features include 14–200 MHz input range and frequency synthesis capabilities up to 1 GHz); AX1000 provides PLL resources for clock management.
• Performance System-level performance figures documented for the family include 350+ MHz system performance and 500+ MHz internal performance.
• Package and mounting Surface-mount 729-ball BGA (729-PBGA, 35×35 mm supplier package) optimized for high-density board designs.
• Power and operating range Core supply specified at 1.425 V to 1.575 V; operating temperature range −55 °C to +125 °C, meeting military-grade thermal requirements.
• Design and test support Deterministic timing, boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) support and in-system diagnostic/debug capability documented for the Axcelerator family.

Typical Applications

• Defense & Aerospace systems Mission-critical processing, secure logic implementations and high-reliability control where military temperature range and nonvolatile configuration are required.
• High-speed communications Data path and protocol engine implementations that benefit from many I/Os, LVDS-capable interfaces and on-chip FIFOs for buffering and data alignment.
• Signal processing and instrumentation Deterministic timing and high internal performance for custom DSP pipelines, radar subsystems and real-time data acquisition.
• Secure IP and custom SoC functions One-time programmable antifuse technology and FuseLock™ protection for designs requiring high security and IP protection.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile antifuse programming: Enables a single-chip, permanently configured solution that retains configuration without external memory.
• High logic density: ~1,000,000 equivalent gates and 18,144 logic elements allow consolidation of complex functions and reduce system BOM.
• Embedded RAM and FIFO control: 165,888 bits of on-chip RAM with programmable FIFO logic for tight data buffering and throughput optimization.
• Flexibility of I/O standards: Bank-selectable mixed-voltage I/Os and support for a wide set of single-ended and differential standards facilitate interface compatibility across subsystems.
• Military-grade thermal performance: Specified for −55 °C to +125 °C operation to support long-term reliability in harsh environments.
• Security and anti-reverse-engineering: FuseLock™ programming technology protects IP and prevents unauthorized readout or cloning of the programmed device.
