AX250-1PQG208M

The AX250-1PQG208M is an Axcelerator family antifuse FPGA offering a nonvolatile, single-chip programmable logic solution based on Microchip's AX architecture. It delivers 250,000 equivalent system gates with 4,224 logic elements, flexible I/O and embedded memory, targeting high-reliability embedded and military applications that require secure, deterministic logic and robust operating temperature range.

As an antifuse-based device, the part provides one-time programmable, nonvolatile configuration and family-level system features such as embedded FIFOs, on-chip PLLs and hardware security (FuseLock), while operating from a 1.425 V to 1.575 V core supply.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 250,000 equivalent system gates realized as 4,224 logic elements for mid-density programmable logic integration.
• Embedded Memory — 55,296 bits (approximately 0.055 Mbits) of on-chip RAM available for data buffering, state storage and FIFO use.
• I/O and Interfaces — 115 user I/Os with family-level support for multi-standard, bank-selectable I/O options including single-ended and differential standards and high-speed LVDS capability.
• Performance and Clocking — AX family features include embedded PLLs and segmentable clock resources to support deterministic timing and frequency synthesis.
• Nonvolatile Antifuse Technology & Security — Single-chip, nonvolatile antifuse programming with FuseLock protection to help safeguard designs against reverse engineering.
• Power — Designed for a 1.5 V core (specified supply 1.425 V to 1.575 V) for low-power core operation.
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount package case 208-BFQFP (supplier device package 208-PQFP, 28×28 mm) suitable for PCB assembly processes.
• Temperature & Grade — Military grade with an operating temperature range from −55 °C to 125 °C for high-reliability environments.
• Compliance — RoHS-compliant manufacturing and packaging.

Typical Applications

• Defense & Aerospace Systems — Military-grade temperature rating and nonvolatile antifuse configuration provide reliable programmable logic for avionics, radar subsystems and secure communications.
• Communications Infrastructure — Embedded FIFOs, PLLs and high-speed differential I/O capability make the device suitable for protocol bridging, line cards and backplane interface logic.
• Industrial Control — Deterministic timing, wide operating temperature and robust I/O support enable motor control, motion systems and harsh-environment controllers.
• Secure Embedded Systems — FuseLock programming technology and one-time programmable antifuse architecture are advantageous where IP protection and tamper resistance are required.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile, one-time programmable design: Antifuse architecture provides permanently programmed logic without the need for external configuration memory, simplifying system design and boot behavior.
• Security-focused programming: FuseLock technology reduces risk of reverse engineering and protects intellectual property in deployed systems.
• Military-grade reliability: Specified for −55 °C to 125 °C operation and delivered in a robust surface-mount package for demanding environments.
• Integrated clocking and FIFO support: On-chip PLLs and embedded FIFO control logic support high-performance data buffering and deterministic timing strategies.
• Flexible I/O standards: Bank-selectable, mixed-voltage I/Os and support for differential standards provide adaptability to a wide range of system interfaces.
• Compact mid-density solution: 4,224 logic elements and ~0.055 Mbits of embedded RAM balance capacity and board-space efficiency for mid-range programmable tasks.
