AX500-2FGG484

The AX500-2FGG484 is a commercial-grade Axcelerator FPGA from Microchip Technology built on the AX architecture and CMOS antifuse process. It delivers a single-chip, nonvolatile programmable solution with deterministic timing, embedded memory and on-chip PLLs for designs that require high internal performance and secure configuration.

With 500,000 equivalent system gates, 8,064 logic elements and 73,728 bits of embedded RAM/FIFO, this 484-ball BGA package targets system-level integration tasks such as high-performance embedded logic, communications I/O handling and secure single-chip implementations within a 0 °C to 70 °C operating window.

Key Features

• Core Capacity and Architecture — 500,000 equivalent system gates and 8,064 logic elements based on the Axcelerator (AX) family architecture.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 0.074 Mbits (73,728 bits) of embedded SRAM/FIFO with programmable FIFO control logic and variable-aspect RAM block organization available in the Axcelerator family.
• I/O and Interface Flexibility — 317 user I/Os with multi-standard, mixed-voltage operation (1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V); family-level support for differential standards such as LVDS and LVPECL and LVDS capability up to 700 Mb/s.
• Performance and Clocking — Family-documented system performance above 350 MHz and internal performance beyond 500 MHz, with segmentable clock resources and embedded PLLs for frequency synthesis.
• Programmability and Security — Single-chip, nonvolatile antifuse programming with FuseLock™ programming technology to protect design IP against reverse engineering.
• Power and Package — Core supply voltage range 1.425 V to 1.575 V; supplied in a 484-ball FPBGA surface-mount package (23 × 23 mm footprint) for compact board integration.
• Commercial Grade and Compliance — Commercial temperature grade (0 °C to 70 °C) and RoHS-compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded System Acceleration — Implement custom datapaths, protocol handling, and tight timing logic in a single nonvolatile device to reduce system complexity.
• High-Speed I/O and Interface Bridging — Use the device’s multi-standard I/Os and LVDS-capable channels for board-level interface adaptation and high-throughput serial links.
• Secure, One-Time Programmable Designs — Leverage antifuse programming and FuseLock technology for applications where configuration security and IP protection are required.
• ASIC Replacement and Low-Volume Production — Deploy ASIC-like performance and deterministic timing on a programmable device for cost-effective low-to-medium volume designs.

Unique Advantages

• Deterministic, Nonvolatile Configuration: Antifuse programming provides a one-time, nonvolatile configuration that eliminates dependence on external configuration memory.
• High Internal Throughput: Documented family internal performance over 500 MHz supports demanding on-chip logic and data paths.
• Flexible Mixed-Voltage I/Os: Bank-selectable, multi-standard I/O support enables direct interfacing with a wide range of external logic levels and protocols.
• Integrated Clock and PLL Resources: Segmentable clocks and embedded PLLs enable precise timing control and frequency synthesis for complex systems.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Packaging: 484-FPBGA (23 × 23) offers a high pin-count, compact footprint for dense board designs.
