AGL015V2-QNG68I

Overview

The AGL015V2-QNG68I is a flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microsemi IGLOO family, utilizing a 130-nm process. It provides 15,000 system gates and 384 configurable logic blocks (CLBs). The device operates within a core voltage range of 1.14 V to 1.575 V, supporting both 1.2 V and 1.5 V systems. It features Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power consumption while retaining configuration data. The component is housed in a QN68 package with 68 terminals and supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze Technology enables ultra-low power static mode retention of FPGA content without external components.
• Instant On Level 0 support allows immediate system initialization upon power-up without external boot PROMs.
• Nonvolatile flash architecture ensures firm-error immunity against high-energy neutrons and eliminates configuration corruption during brownouts.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low total system power
• Secure remote field updates via AES-protected In-System Programming
• Systems needing instant-on capabilities and simplified initialization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C). Confirm the 'V2' designation indicates support for the wide core voltage range (1.2 V to 1.5 V). Ensure the QN68 package matches the required footprint dimensions and pitch specifications for the target PCB layout.

Selection Notes

Select this device for designs prioritizing nonvolatility and security over high-density logic. Note that the AGL015 lacks embedded RAM and PLL resources; verify if the application requires these features before choosing higher-density variants like the AGL030 or AGL060.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA family. It is architecturally compatible with other devices in the series but offers lower capacity. The datasheet notes that the AGL015 is not recommended for new designs, suggesting consideration of successor parts for long-term projects.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are documented. Consider the AGL030 for increased logic capacity or the M1AGL series if ARM processor integration is required.
