Antifuse FPGAs for Space or Other Harsh-Environment Application


You will find a range of solutions for integrating multiple system functions or legacy ASIC designs into our antifuse FPGAs. Speed your design process by working with system-level features including built-in security and embedded SRAM, or replace multiple chips with a single high-volume, low-cost solution.

Axcelerator FPGAs

Achieve ASIC-like performance across up to 2 million equivalent system gates with the Axcelerator family of FPGAs. Utilizing the AX architecture, Axcelerator devices streamline development through system-level features such as design security, embedded SRAM (with embedded FIFO control logic), PLLs, segmentable clocks, chip-wide highway routing and carry logic.

  • Nonvolatile, high-speed antifuse FPGAs
  • 125K–2M system gates
  • 350 MHz system performance
  • 0.15 µm, CMOS antifuse process

eX FPGAs

Reduce design time and cost for wired and mobile e-appliances through the focused combination of features in eX FPGAs. Meet all of your power, speed, package and price requirements by replacing traditional low-density ASIC implementations in flexible single-chip FPGAs, without the long lead times and costly Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) charges.

  • Low-power, low-density antifuse FPGAs
  • 3K–12K system gates
  • 350 MHz system performance
  • 0.22 µm CMOS antifuse process

MX FPGAs

Integrate your legacy PLDs into a single, low-cost device using MX FPGAs. This high-volume platform improves system cost and reduces complexity without compromising on cost and time. Featuring very low power consumption and the industry's highest design security, MX FPGAs offer you a reliable, single-chip ASIC alternative.

  • Mixed-voltage and 5 V-only operation
  • 3K–54K system gates
  • 250 MHz system performance
  • Dual-port SRAM modules and multiplex I/O

SX-A FPGAs

Design with SX-A devices to generate system-wide savings. They integrate multiple functions into a low-cost, single-chip solution. Providing a combination of ASIC performance, security, and low power, SX-A can balance your design tradeoffs while providing a solution that is highly secure from reverse engineering.

  • Sea-of-modules antifuse FPGAs
  • 12K–108K system gates
  • 250 MHz system performance
  • 66 MHz PCI compliant

Legacy Antifuse FPGAs

Legacy FPGAs are devices that we no longer recommend for new designs.

You can migrate our legacy FPGA devices to newer devices to for better performance, higher density, lower power consumption and better reliability.

Antifuse Programming and Debugging Tools


Our programming and debugging tools consist of hardware, software and collateral to help you use the programming and debugging features available in our antifuse FPGAs.

Programming and Debugging Tools


Silicon Sculptor 

Silicon Sculptor is a programming tool used to program the FPGA before manufacturing the base board.

Silicon Explorer FP

Silicon Explorer FP is a debugging tool used to debug our antifuse family of FPGAs. It is an alternative solution to the Silicon Explorer product.

Silicon Explorer (Legacy)

Silicon Explorer is legacy and discontinued debugging tool, used to debug antifuse family of FPGAs.

Hardware Programmers


Silicon Sculptor 4

Silicon Sculptor 4 offers increased memory size and faster data processing compared to previous Microchip programmers. With 2 GB of internal memory, Silicon Sculptor 4 allows concurrent programming of large parts without performance degradation and it supports the larger algorithms of planned future parts.

Silicon Sculptor Adaptor Module

Silicon Sculptor adapter modules are package specific and although they depend on the product family, they are independent of gate count.

Silicon Sculptor 3 (Legacy)

Silicon Sculptor 3 is a programmer with four times the memory size and 64 MB of internal memory.
