• I/O Flexibility  516 user I/Os across bank-selectable I/O banks with mixed-voltage operation (1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V) and support for single-ended and differential standards including LVDS and LVPECL.
• Performance & Clocking  Documented system performance in the 350+ MHz range and internal performance above 500+ MHz, plus segmentable clock resources and embedded PLLs (14–200 MHz input range, frequency synthesis up to 1 GHz).
• Nonvolatile Antifuse Technology  Single-chip, nonvolatile antifuse implementation and FuseLock programming technology to protect design IP against reverse engineering.
• Package, Power & Temperature  729-BBGA package (supplier device package: 729-PBGA, 35×35), surface-mount mounting, 1.425 V to 1.575 V core supply range, and industrial operating temperature of -40 °C to 85 °C.
• System Integration  On-chip features such as embedded FIFOs, programmable I/O drive and slew control, registered I/Os, and IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan support simplify system-level integration and testing.
• Standards & Compliance  RoHS-compliant manufacturing.

Typical Applications

• High-performance digital processing  Large logic capacity and high internal performance make the AX1000-BG729I suitable for complex logic functions and custom processing pipelines.
• Multi-standard I/O bridging  Mixed-voltage banks and support for LVDS/LVPECL enable protocol bridging and high-speed interface implementations.
• Industrial control and automation  Industrial temperature rating and robust I/O options support control, motion and sensor interfacing in industrial environments.
• Secure, nonvolatile designs  Antifuse nonvolatile architecture and FuseLock programming provide design security for applications that require IP protection and tamper resistance.

Unique Advantages

• High logic density: 1,000,000 equivalent gates and 18,144 logic elements enable consolidation of complex functions onto a single device, reducing BOM and board area.
• Flexible embedded memory: 165,888 bits of on-chip RAM with configurable widths and FIFO control simplifies data buffering and reduces dependence on external memory.
• Deterministic timing and clocking: Segmentable clocks and integrated PLLs provide precise, user-controllable timing for synchronous system designs.
• Multi-standard I/O support: Bank-selectable mixed-voltage I/Os and differential signaling capabilities ease integration with a wide range of peripherals and high-speed links.
• Nonvolatile security: Antifuse programming and FuseLock technology protect design IP and deter reverse engineering.
• Industrial-ready operation: Surface-mount 729-BBGA packaging, 1.425–1.575 V core voltage, and -40 °C to 85 °C operating range support deployment in industrial environments.
