AX250-1FGG484I

The AX250-1FGG484I is an Axcelerator Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology based on the AX antifuse architecture. This industrial-grade, nonvolatile single-chip solution delivers 250,000 equivalent system gates, 4,224 logic elements and a high I/O count for designs that require dense logic, flexible I/O and in-system security.

Key system attributes include a 484-ball fine-pitch BGA package, a nominal 1.5 V core supply (specified 1.425 V to 1.575 V), an operating range of −40 °C to 85 °C, and approximately 55 kbits of embedded memory — making the device suitable for industrial and embedded applications that need reliable, configurable logic in a compact package.

Key Features

• Core Capacity  Provides approximately 250,000 equivalent system gates and 4,224 logic elements for mid-density custom logic implementation.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 55 kbits of on-chip RAM and embedded FIFO control logic to support buffering and local data storage.
• I/O Flexibility  248 user I/Os with bank-selectable, mixed-voltage operation and support for differential and single-ended standards for broad interface compatibility.
• High-Speed I/O Capability  LVDS-capable I/Os (family-level spec up to 700 Mb/s) to support high-speed serial links and data acquisition paths.
• Clocking and PLLs  Segmentable clock resources and embedded PLLs for on-chip frequency synthesis and deterministic timing control.
• Nonvolatile Antifuse Technology  Single-chip, nonvolatile antifuse implementation provides one-time programmability and design security without external configuration memory.
• Security and IP Protection  FuseLock™ programming technology protects against reverse engineering and design theft.
• Package and Mounting  484-FPBGA (23 × 23) surface-mount package for compact board integration.
• Power and Temperature  Core supply specified 1.425 V–1.575 V and industrial operating range of −40 °C to 85 °C; RoHS-compliant.
• Diagnostic and Test  Supports in-system diagnostic capability with Microchip Silicon Explorer II and boundary-scan (JTAG) testing for board-level validation.

Typical Applications

• Industrial control and automation  Industrial-grade temperature rating and robust I/O make the device suitable for control logic, sensor aggregation and factory automation systems.
• High-speed data capture and bridging  LVDS-capable I/Os and embedded FIFOs support data acquisition front-ends and protocol bridging between high-speed interfaces.
• Security-oriented embedded systems  Nonvolatile antifuse programming and FuseLock protection help safeguard IP in secure or field-deployed devices.
• Compact system logic integration  High logic density and a 484-BGA footprint enable consolidation of glue logic, protocol handling and custom processing in space-constrained designs.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile, single-chip solution: Eliminates the need for external configuration memory and simplifies boot and security models.
• High I/O count in a compact package: 248 user I/Os and a 484-FPBGA package support complex board-level interfacing within a small footprint.
• Design security built in: FuseLock programming technology and antifuse architecture provide resistance to reverse engineering.
• Deterministic timing and clocking: Segmentable clock resources and on-chip PLLs enable predictable performance for timing-critical designs.
• Industrial-ready electrical and thermal specifications: Specified core supply range and −40 °C to 85 °C operating temperature for reliable operation in industrial environments.
• On-board debug and test support: In-system diagnostics with Microchip Silicon Explorer II and JTAG boundary-scan simplify validation and bring-up.
