AX500-2FGG676

The AX500-2FGG676 is an Axcelerator antifuse FPGA based on Microchip's AX architecture, delivering a single-chip, nonvolatile solution for high-performance, deterministic logic designs. It combines on-chip programmable logic, embedded SRAM/FIFO control, segmentable clocks and integrated PLLs to address system-level tasks that require high throughput and predictable timing.

This device targets applications that need a balance of logic capacity, embedded memory and high-speed I/O capability while operating in commercial temperature environments.

Key Features

• Core Capacity — 500,000 equivalent system gates and 8,064 logic elements provide substantial programmable logic for mid-range FPGA designs.

• I/O and Interface Flexibility — 336 user I/Os with support for multi-standard, bank-selectable I/Os; family-level support includes differential LVDS capable at 700 Mb/s and programmable slew rate/drive strength.
• High Performance and Timing — Family datasheet specifies 350+ MHz system performance and 500+ MHz internal performance, segmentable clock resources and embedded PLLs with 14–200 MHz input range and frequency synthesis up to 1 GHz.
• Power — Core voltage supply specified at 1.425 V to 1.575 V (1.5 V nominal) for low-power core operation.
• Package and Mounting — 676-FBGA (27×27) package / 676-BGA, surface-mount device, RoHS compliant.
• Security and Testability — Single-chip nonvolatile antifuse programming with FuseLock™ protection and IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan support for board-level test and IP protection.
• Commercial Grade — Operating temperature range 0 °C to 70 °C suitable for commercial applications.

Typical Applications

• High-speed data transport and buffering — Embedded FIFOs and high-performance internal logic enable low-latency data paths and buffering between subsystems.
• Interface bridging and protocol adaptation — Multi-standard I/Os and LVDS-capable channels support protocol conversion and aggregation between mixed-voltage interfaces.
• Deterministic control and timing-sensitive logic — Segmentable clocks, PLLs and user-controllable timing make the device suitable for designs that require predictable timing behavior.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated FPGA: Combines substantial logic capacity with embedded SRAM and FIFO control to reduce external components and simplify board design.
• Deterministic performance: Segmentable clock resources and controllable timing features help ensure repeatable, predictable system timing.
• High-speed I/O capability: 336 I/Os and LVDS-capable channels support robust, high-throughput interface implementations.
• Nonvolatile security: Antifuse programming and FuseLock technology protect bitstream and design IP on-chip without external configuration memory.
• Test and diagnostics: IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan and in-system diagnostic capabilities assist in board-level test and debug.
• Standards-driven I/O flexibility: Family-level support for multiple single-ended and differential standards plus programmable I/O attributes enables mixed-voltage systems.
