• Power & Temperature Core voltage supply specified at 1.425 V to 1.575 V and an operating temperature range of −55 °C to 125 °C, suitable for military-grade thermal environments.

Typical Applications

• High-speed data transport and protocol bridging — Use the AX1000-BGG729M for LVDS and other high-speed serial interfaces, leveraging its high-performance I/Os and embedded FIFO support to handle streaming data efficiently.
• Deterministic control systems — Implement timing-sensitive state machines and control logic where deterministic, user-controllable timing and onboard PLLs are required.
• Secure, nonvolatile logic implementations — Deploy designs with built-in antifuse programming and FuseLock protection for applications where IP protection and nonvolatile configuration are important.
• Memory-intensive embedded functions — Take advantage of the device’s 36 RAM blocks and embedded FIFO control logic for packet buffering, frame storage, or data reformatting tasks.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile, single-chip solution: Eliminates the need for external configuration memory and supports secure, permanent programming via antifuse technology.
• Deterministic timing with on-chip PLLs: Segmentable clocks and multiple PLLs enable predictable timing closure for real-time and high-speed designs.
• Flexible I/O standards: Bank-selectable, mixed-voltage I/Os and programmable output characteristics reduce external level-shifting and simplify board design.
• Embedded memory with FIFO control: On-chip RAM blocks and FIFO logic shrink BOM and improve data-path performance by keeping buffering on-chip.
• Military-grade thermal capability: Wide operating temperature range (−55 °C to 125 °C) supports deployments in demanding environments.
• Design security: FuseLock programming technology provides an added layer of protection against reverse engineering.
