AX250-1FG484M

The AX250-1FG484M is an Axcelerator family FPGA from Microchip Technology based on the AX architecture and CMOS antifuse process. It combines nonvolatile antifuse programming with high-density logic — 250,000 equivalent system gates and 4,224 logic elements — for secure, high-performance embedded logic.

Designed for applications that require robust operation and high-speed I/O, this military-grade, surface-mount device offers broad I/O flexibility, embedded RAM and FIFO resources, and on-chip clocking and PLL capabilities for demanding communications and signal-processing systems.

Key Features

• Core density — 250,000 equivalent system gates and 4,224 logic elements provide significant programmable logic capacity for mid-range FPGA designs.
• Embedded memory — Approximately 55 kbits of embedded RAM/FIFO resources enabling local buffering and memory-mapped logic functions.
• I/O and interface flexibility — 248 user I/Os with support for multi-standard I/O families and LVDS-capable channels up to high data rates; bank-selectable voltages and programmable drive/slew control enable mixed-voltage designs.
• Clocking and PLLs — Integrated PLL resources and segmentable clock architecture support deterministic timing and frequency synthesis across the device.
• Power and supply — Nominal 1.5 V core operation with specified supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V for the core.
• Package and mounting — 484-ball BGA (484-FPBGA, 23 × 23) in a surface-mount package suited for dense board-level integration.
• Rugged operating range — Military-grade device specified for operation from −55 °C to 125 °C.
• Security and system tools — Antifuse, single-chip nonvolatile programming and FuseLock™ programming technology protect against reverse engineering; in-system diagnostic and debug support is available via Microchip tools documented for the Axcelerator family.

Typical Applications

• Military and aerospace systems — Military-grade temperature range and robust package make the device suitable for defense electronics requiring nonvolatile programmable logic and secure configuration.
• High-speed communications — LVDS-capable I/Os and high internal performance support serializer/deserializer front-ends, protocol bridging, and line-rate processing.
• Signal processing and embedded control — Significant logic capacity and embedded RAM/FIFO resources enable real-time data buffering, preprocessing and custom accelerator functions.
• Secure, single-chip solutions — Antifuse nonvolatile programming combined with FuseLock technology is well suited to designs needing in-field programmability with built-in design protection.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile antifuse architecture: Single-chip, one-time-programmable solution eliminates the need for external configuration memory and simplifies secure system design.
• Deterministic timing and integrated PLLs: On-chip PLLs and segmentable clock resources facilitate stable, high-performance timing for synchronous designs.
• Bank-selectable, multi-standard I/Os: Flexible I/O voltage selection and programmable drive/slew make the device adaptable to mixed-voltage systems and varied interface standards.
• Military-grade thermal range: Rated from −55 °C to 125 °C for deployments that require extended environmental tolerance.
• Compact, high-density package: 484-ball FPBGA (23 × 23) enables a high I/O count and dense board-level integration while maintaining surface-mount assembly compatibility.
