Axcelerator
Overview
The latest antifuse FPGA family offered by Microsemi, Axcelerator® offers high performance and unprecedented design security at densities of up to 2 million equivalent system gates.
Utilizing the Microsemi AX architecture, Axcelerator devices have several system-level features, such as embedded SRAM (with embedded FIFO control logic), PLLs, segmentable clocks, chip-wide highway routing, and carry logic.
Based upon 0.15 µm, seven-layers-of-metal CMOS antifuse process technology, Axcelerator devices offer a level of performance previously only available in ASIC technology.
