Now discontinued by Microchip Technology, the AX500-1PQG208M is a military-grade member of the Axcelerator FPGA family, integrating 500,000 system gates in a 208-lead plastic quad flat pack (PQFP). Built on non-volatile antifuse technology, it provides instant-on capability, single-chip configuration, and inherent single-event upset (SEU) immunity, making it well-suited to high-reliability environments where configuration memory corruption cannot be tolerated. The device is rated for the extended military temperature range and was originally qualified for aerospace and defense applications, reflecting the high-reliability pedigree that Microchip’s Axcelerator series established for mission-critical systems.
Typical deployments include flight control modules, satellite payload processors, missile guidance systems, and ruggedized industrial controllers—applications where recertification timelines and safety-case investments make a full board redesign prohibitive. With the AX500-1PQG208M officially obsolete and no longer in production, sustaining existing platforms depends on access to authenticated, traceable inventory. ZZX Electronics supplies legacy stock of this end-of-life FPGA with comprehensive date-code traceability, enabling procurement teams to maintain fielded systems with the exact form, fit, and function required, without incurring the cost and delay of requalifying a substitute.
