AX1000-BG729

The AX1000-BG729 is an Axcelerator family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) device built on Microchip’s AX architecture and antifuse-based, nonvolatile programming technology. The device delivers a combination of high system and internal performance, flexible multi‑standard I/Os, and on‑chip embedded SRAM/FIFO resources suitable for designs requiring deterministic timing, secure programming, and high I/O density.

AX1000 combines system-level capabilities—segmentable clocks, embedded PLLs, chip‑wide routing and embedded FIFO control logic—with a high logic capacity and a 729‑ball BGA package, providing an integrated platform for complex digital designs within commercial temperature ranges.

Key Features

• Core Capacity  Provides 1,000,000 equivalent system gates and 18,144 logic elements (cells) to implement substantial custom logic on a single nonvolatile device.
• Embedded Memory & FIFOs  Includes 36 core RAM blocks delivering approximately 0.166 Mbits of embedded memory with programmable FIFO control logic and variable-aspect 4,608‑bit RAM block organization options.
• High‑Performance Timing  Documented system performance of 350+ MHz and internal performance of 500+ MHz, with segmentable clock resources and deterministic, user‑controllable timing.
• Advanced PLLs  Embedded PLLs support a 14–200 MHz input range and frequency synthesis capabilities up to 1 GHz for flexible clock generation and management.
• Flexible, High‑Speed I/Os  Up to 516 user I/Os supporting mixed voltages (1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V), a wide range of single‑ended and differential standards, and LVDS channels capable of 700 Mb/s.
• Secure, Nonvolatile Programming  Antifuse programming with FuseLock technology provides a single‑chip, nonvolatile solution that protects designs against reverse engineering and unauthorized duplication.
• Package & Supply  Surface‑mount 729‑BBGA package (supplier package: 729‑PBGA, 35×35 mm); core voltage supply range is 1.425 V to 1.575 V.
• Commercial Grade & Compliance  Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operating temperature and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑speed serial I/O systems  Leverage LVDS‑capable I/Os and high internal performance for board‑level high‑throughput interfaces and data links.
• Memory‑intensive buffering and FIFO management  Built‑in RAM blocks and programmable FIFO control logic provide on‑chip buffering for streaming data and protocol bridging.
• Deterministic clocked logic  Segmentable clocks and integrated PLLs enable precise timing control for synchronous digital subsystems.
• Secure, nonvolatile logic deployment  Antifuse programming and FuseLock technology secure intellectual property in deployed systems that require permanent configuration.

Unique Advantages

• High logic density: 1,000,000 equivalent gates and 18,144 logic elements let you consolidate complex functions into a single device and reduce board-level BOM.
• On‑chip memory and FIFO control: 36 RAM blocks (≈0.166 Mbits) with configurable widths and embedded FIFO logic simplify data buffering and reduce external memory requirements.
• Deterministic performance: Segmentable clocks, deterministic timing and integrated PLLs provide predictable timing for real‑time and latency‑sensitive designs.
• Broad I/O flexibility: Bank‑selectable, mixed‑voltage I/Os and support for multiple single‑ended and differential standards enable straightforward interfacing to diverse peripherals and subsystems.
• Secure, one‑time programmable design: Antifuse programming with FuseLock protects IP and prevents reverse engineering, supporting secure product deployment.
• Commercial temperature and RoHS compliance: Suited for commercial applications requiring RoHS‑compliant components within 0 °C to 70 °C.
