AGL015V5-QNG68I

Overview

The AGL015V5-QNG68I is a Microsemi IGLOO series Field Programmable Gate Array featuring 15,000 system gates and 384 configurable logic blocks. It utilizes a 130-nm flash-based CMOS process with a 7-layer metal stack. The device operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +100°C and supports a core voltage of 1.5 V only. It is housed in a 68-pin HVQCCN package measuring 8 mm x 8 mm.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while retaining FPGA content without requiring external components.
• Instant On Level 0 support allows the device to function immediately upon power-up without external configuration memory.
• Nonvolatile flash architecture provides firm-error immunity against high-energy neutrons and eliminates boot PROM requirements.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static power consumption
• Systems needing immediate initialization upon power application
• Secure embedded designs utilizing FlashLock protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'V5' indicates a 1.5 V only supply voltage requirement, distinct from V2 variants that support 1.2 V to 1.5 V ranges. Confirm the 'I' suffix denotes the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C). Ensure the QN68 package footprint matches the target PCB layout dimensions of 8 mm x 8 mm.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications prioritizing nonvolatility and instant-on capabilities over high-density logic. Note that the AGL015 lacks integrated PLLs and SRAM blocks, which are available in higher-density devices like the AGL060. Consider the limited I/O count of 49 when designing interface-heavy systems.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA family manufactured by Microsemi. The AGL015 represents the entry-level density tier within the series, offering 15,000 system gates. It shares architectural features such as VersaTiles and FlashROM with larger devices but omits advanced resources like RAM and PLLs.

Replacement Considerations

The AGL030 is architecturally compatible and offers double the logic capacity (30,000 gates) while maintaining pin compatibility in certain packages. For designs requiring embedded memory or clock conditioning, the AGL060 serves as a functional upgrade path within the same family.
