AX250-2FG484I

The AX250-2FG484I is an Axcelerator family antifuse FPGA implementing Microchip’s AX architecture. It provides a nonvolatile, single-chip FPGA solution with substantial logic capacity, embedded memory and flexible I/O to address demanding industrial and high-performance embedded applications.

Designed for system-level integration, the device combines 250,000 equivalent system gates with segmentable clocks, embedded SRAM/FIFO control logic and multiple PLLs to support high-speed data paths and deterministic timing in industrial environments.

Key Features

• Core Capacity 
  Approximately 250,000 equivalent system gates with 4,224 logic elements, providing significant programmable logic for complex designs.
• Embedded Memory 
  Approximately 55 kbits (55,296 bits) of on-chip RAM with FIFO control logic and variable-aspect RAM block organizations for flexible data buffering.
• I/O and Interface Flexibility 
  248 user I/Os with LVDS-capable channels (700 Mb/s capability noted in the family data) and bank-selectable, multi-voltage operation to support mixed-voltage designs.
• Clocking and PLLs 
  Segmentable clock resources and multiple embedded PLLs (family-level PLL features include a 14–200 MHz input range and frequency synthesis capabilities) for precise clock management and high-speed internal operation.
• Performance 
  Family-level performance guidance cites system performance above 350 MHz and internal performance above 500 MHz to support fast data-path implementations.
• Power and Core Voltage 
  Core supply range 1.425 V to 1.575 V (typical 1.5 V core), enabling low-voltage operation consistent with the Axcelerator architecture.
• Package and Mounting 
  484-ball fine-pitch BGA (484-FPBGA, 23 × 23) in a surface-mount package for compact board-level integration.
• Industrial Grade Temperature 
  Rated for operation from −40 °C to 85 °C to meet industrial environment requirements.
• Design Security and Testability 
  Antifuse-based, nonvolatile programming with family features such as FuseLock programming and JTAG boundary-scan support for diagnostics and IP protection.
• Compliance 
  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-speed data interfaces — Use LVDS-capable I/Os and embedded FIFOs to implement multi-channel, high-throughput serial links and data aggregation.
• Industrial control and automation — Industrial-grade temperature range and robust I/O support enable motor control, sensor aggregation and real-time control logic in factory equipment.
• Protocol bridging and interface consolidation — Mixed-voltage, bank-selectable I/Os allow consolidation of multiple legacy and modern interfaces within a single FPGA fabric.
• Custom embedded processing — Significant logic and embedded memory resources support application-specific accelerators, preprocessing and deterministic system control.

Unique Advantages

• Single-chip, nonvolatile solution: Antifuse-based FPGA provides permanent configuration storage without external configuration memory, simplifying system BOM and boot sequencing.
• Substantial programmable capacity: 250,000 equivalent gates and 4,224 logic elements deliver headroom for complex state machines, datapaths and control logic.
• Flexible, high-speed I/O: 248 I/Os with LVDS capability and multi-standard support allow direct interfacing to high-speed links and mixed-voltage peripherals.
• Deterministic timing and clock control: Segmentable clocks and multiple PLLs enable controlled timing domains and stable, high-frequency internal operation.
• Industrial-ready packaging and thermal range: 484-BGA surface-mount package and −40 °C to 85 °C rating meet common industrial deployment requirements.
