• Clocking and PLLs — Segmentable clock resources and embedded PLLs with frequency synthesis capabilities and input range specified in the datasheet.
• Power and Voltage — Core supply range 1.425 V to 1.575 V to match the antifuse CMOS process; I/Os support multiple voltage domains (1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V) as part of the Axcelerator family feature set.
• Package and Mounting — 484-ball fine-pitch BGA (484-FPBGA, 23 × 23) surface-mount package designed for compact board integration.
• Operating Range and Compliance — Industrial-grade operation from −40 °C to 85 °C; RoHS compliant.
• Security and Test — Antifuse, nonvolatile single-chip solution with family-level FuseLock™ programming technology and JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) boundary-scan support as documented for the Axcelerator family.

Typical Applications

• High-performance embedded systems — Use the AX500-1FG484I for compact FPGA-based control and data-path functions where deterministic timing and on-chip FIFOs improve throughput and latency.
• Industrial automation — Implement motor-control logic, real-time signal processing or protocol bridging with the device’s industrial temperature rating and flexible I/O voltage support.
• Data acquisition and interface bridging — Leverage LVDS-capable I/Os and embedded memory/FIFO resources for high-speed serial data capture, buffering and protocol conversion.

Unique Advantages

• Single-chip nonvolatile FPGA — Antifuse programming eliminates the need for external configuration memory, simplifying system design and improving boot determinism.
• Rich mixed-voltage I/O — Bank-selectable I/Os support multiple voltage standards, enabling direct interfacing with diverse peripheral logic without additional level shifting.
• Deterministic timing and embedded PLLs — Segmentable clocks and on-chip PLLs provide predictable timing behavior and frequency synthesis for system clocking needs.
• Compact BGA package — 484-ball FPBGA enables a high-density solution for board designs constrained by PCB area.
• Industrial robustness — Rated for −40 °C to 85 °C operation and supplied in RoHS-compliant packaging for industrial deployments.
