AX500-FG484I

The AX500-FG484I is an Axcelerator-series antifuse FPGA built on Microchip's AX architecture, delivering a nonvolatile, single-chip programmable logic solution. It provides deterministic timing, segmentable clocking and embedded SRAM/FIFO control logic for designs that require secure, high-performance programmable logic.

With 500,000 equivalent system gates and support for on-chip PLLs and high-speed I/Os, the device targets industrial embedded designs that need integration of logic, memory and high-speed interfacing within a 484-ball FPBGA package.

Key Features

• Core Capacity  Approximately 500,000 equivalent system gates implemented as 8,064 logic elements, enabling mid-range FPGA integration for control and datapath functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.074 Mbits of embedded SRAM (73,728 bits) with variable-aspect RAM blocks and programmable FIFO control logic for buffering and packet staging.
• I/O and Interfaces  317 user I/Os with support for multi-voltage operation (1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V) and differential standards such as LVDS; I/Os are bank-selectable and include programmable slew and drive strength.
• Clocking and PLLs  Segmentable clock resources and embedded PLLs providing frequency synthesis and deterministic, user-controllable timing for synchronized system designs.
• Performance and Signaling  Series-level performance capabilities include 350+ MHz system performance and 500+ MHz internal performance, and support for 700 Mb/s LVDS-capable I/Os.
• Nonvolatile Antifuse Technology  Single-chip, nonvolatile programming with FuseLock programming technology for protection against reverse engineering.
• Package and Thermal  484-FPBGA (23 × 23) surface-mount package; industrial temperature grade with operating range −40°C to 85°C.
• Power  Core supply range specified at 1.425 V to 1.575 V to support the device’s low-voltage core operation.
• Compliance  RoHS-compliant manufacturing.

Typical Applications

• Secure Embedded Controllers  Nonvolatile antifuse programming and FuseLock technology make the device suitable for designs requiring hardware-level IP protection and in-field programmability without volatile configuration storage.
• Protocol Bridging and Packet Buffering  On-chip SRAM and programmable FIFOs enable efficient data buffering and width conversion for protocol gateways and bridge functions.
• High-Speed Serial Interfaces  LVDS-capable I/Os and high internal performance support SERDES-adjacent interfaces and other high-speed signaling tasks up to listed LVDS rates.
• Industrial Control Systems  Industrial temperature grade and a robust I/O feature set make the device suitable for factory automation, motor control front-ends and embedded supervisory logic.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile, Single-Chip Solution:  Antifuse-based programming removes the need for external configuration memory and enables immediate, permanent configuration at power-up.
• Deterministic Timing:  Segmentable clocks and embedded PLLs provide predictable timing behavior important for real-time and synchronous systems.
• Integrated Memory and FIFO Support:  Embedded SRAM blocks with configurable widths and FIFO control reduce external memory dependence and simplify data-path design.
• Flexible I/O Standards:  Bank-selectable, mixed-voltage I/Os and programmable drive/slew settings support interfacing to a wide range of logic families and signaling levels.
• Industrial Temperature Rating:  Rated for −40°C to 85°C operation to meet common industrial environmental requirements.
• Design Security:  FuseLock programming technology helps protect design IP from reverse engineering.
