AX250-1FGG484M

The AX250-1FGG484M is an Axcelerator family FPGA from Microchip Technology built on the AX architecture and a CMOS antifuse process. This single-chip, nonvolatile FPGA provides 250,000 equivalent system gates with 4,224 logic elements and high I/O density for demanding, secure logic and interface applications.

Designed for robust operation, the device supports a 1.5 V core supply range (1.425 V to 1.575 V) and military temperature operation from −55 °C to 125 °C. Key system-level capabilities include segmentable clocks, embedded PLLs, embedded SRAM/FIFO resources and multi-standard, high-speed I/Os.

Key Features

• Core and Architecture AX antifuse-based architecture delivering 250,000 equivalent system gates and 4,224 logic elements for custom logic implementation.
• Memory and FIFOs Approximately 0.055 Mbits (55,296 bits) of embedded SRAM/FIFO with variable-aspect 4,608-bit RAM blocks and programmable FIFO control logic for buffering and packet handling.
• I/O and Interfaces 248 user I/Os with support for multi-standard operation and LVDS-capable I/Os (700 Mb/s capability noted for the family) to accommodate mixed-voltage and high-speed serial interfaces.
• Clocking and PLLs Segmentable clock resources and embedded PLLs (family-level PLL capability) supporting a 14–200 MHz input range and frequency synthesis capabilities up to 1 GHz.
• Security and Nonvolatile Programming Antifuse nonvolatile programming plus FuseLock™ programming technology to protect design IP against reverse engineering.
• Performance Family-level performance characteristics include 350+ MHz system performance and 500+ MHz internal performance for timing-critical designs.
• Packaging and Environmental 484-ball FPBGA package (23 × 23) in a surface-mount form factor; RoHS-compliant. Rated for military grade operation (−55 °C to 125 °C).
• System Diagnostics and Test In-system diagnostic and debug capability with Microchip Silicon Explorer II and boundary-scan testing compliant with IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG).

Typical Applications
