AX500-1FG676I

The AX500-1FG676I is an Axcelerator family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC built on Microchip Technology’s AX architecture and antifuse programming technology. It delivers a nonvolatile, single-chip FPGA solution designed for industrial-grade applications that require deterministic timing, design security, and compact packaging.

This device targets designs that demand high internal performance and flexible I/O integration: it combines 500,000 equivalent system gates, 8,064 logic elements, approximately 0.074 Mbits of embedded RAM, and 336 user I/Os in a 676-ball fine BGA (27 × 27 mm) package.

Key Features

• Core Capacity — 500,000 equivalent system gates and 8,064 logic elements provide substantial programmable logic for mid‑range system functions and custom processing pipelines.
• Embedded Memory — Total on-chip RAM of 73,728 bits (approximately 0.074 Mbits) with embedded FIFO control logic and configurable RAM block organizations for flexible data buffering and packet staging.
• I/O Flexibility — 336 user I/Os with support for multi-standard, bank-selectable voltages and differential/ single-ended signaling options as described for the Axcelerator family; includes high-speed LVDS-capable channels.
• Performance — Family-level performance capabilities include 350+ MHz system performance and 500+ MHz internal performance to support high-throughput designs and timing-critical logic.
• Clocking and PLLs — Segmentable clock resources and embedded PLLs with an input range supporting 14–200 MHz and frequency synthesis capabilities up to 1 GHz for flexible clock management.
• Nonvolatile Antifuse Technology — Single-chip, nonvolatile programming with FuseLock™ protection provides design security and resistance to reverse engineering.
• Power and Supply — Specified core supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V consistent with a 1.5 V core; supports mixed-voltage I/O operation across supported standards for system interfacing.
• Package & Temperature — 676-ball FBGA (27 × 27 mm) package (676-FBGA) and industrial-grade operating range from −40 °C to +85 °C for reliable operation in industrial environments.
• Test & Debug — Supports boundary-scan testing (IEEE 1149.1 JTAG) and in-system diagnostic/debug capability as provided by the Axcelerator family tooling.
• Standards & Interfaces — Family features include support for multiple I/O standards (LVTTL, LVCMOS, LVDS, LVPECL, GTL+, HSTL, SSTL2/3, PCI/PCI-X) and programmable output drive/slew settings for interface tuning.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Implement motor control, real-time sequencing, and protocol bridging where industrial temperature operation and deterministic timing are required.
• High‑Speed Data Interfaces — Use the device’s LVDS-capable I/Os and embedded FIFOs for high-throughput serial data paths, stream buffering, and protocol conversion.
• Secure Embedded Systems — Leverage antifuse nonvolatile programming and FuseLock protection for applications where design security and IP protection are priorities.
• System Integration & Glue Logic — Consolidate multiple discrete functions into a single programmable device to reduce BOM and enable compact, footprint-compatible designs.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile Single‑Chip Solution: Antifuse programming removes the need for external configuration memory and provides immediate availability of the programmed design after power-up.
• Design Security with FuseLock™: Built-in programming protection helps guard design IP against reverse engineering and unauthorized readout.
• Deterministic, High Internal Performance: Family-level internal and system performance figures support timing-sensitive applications and high-clock-rate logic blocks.
• Flexible, Multi‑Standard I/Os: Bank-selectable I/O voltages, differential/single-ended standards, and programmable drive/slew control enable direct interfacing to diverse peripherals and mezzanine cards.
• Industrial Reliability: Specified operating range from −40 °C to +85 °C and a robust FBGA package make the device suitable for industrial deployments.
• On‑Chip Memory and FIFO Support: Embedded RAM and FIFO control logic simplify data buffering and stream handling without external memory in many use cases.
