AX500-1PQG208I

Now an end-of-life FPGA from Microchip Technology’s Axcelerator family, the AX500-1PQG208I delivers 500,000 system gates in a 208-lead PQFP package rated for industrial temperature range. Built on non-volatile antifuse technology, the device provides instant-on, single-chip operation and integrates embedded dual-port SRAM blocks with multiple PLLs for precise clock management. Its flexible I/O bank architecture supports LVTTL, LVCMOS, and PCI-compatible standards, making it suitable for mixed-voltage control and data-path functions.

Microchip has officially discontinued this FPGA, placing it in end-of-life status with no further manufacturing. For long-field-life defense, aerospace, and industrial programs where redesign and recertification carry prohibitive cost and schedule impact, ZZX Electronics sources traceable sustaining inventory of the AX500-1PQG208I. Procuring an exact-match drop-in part preserves the original board layout and qualification baseline, avoiding board respins, signal integrity revalidation, and requalification cycles. Each component is supplied with full date-code traceability, and the industrial –40°C to +85°C rating ensures continued fit for existing assemblies.
