AGL030V2-QNG68

Overview

The AGL030V2-QNG68 is a low-power flash FPGA from the IGLOO family, manufactured by Microsemi. It features 30,000 system gates and 768 VersaTiles (D-flip-flops). The device operates with a core voltage range of 1.2 V to 1.5 V and supports single-voltage system operation. It includes 1 kbit of FlashROM user nonvolatile memory but lacks embedded SRAM and integrated PLLs. The QN68 package provides 49 user I/Os in an 8x8 mm footprint. It supports Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power consumption while retaining design content.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze Technology enables ultra-low power static mode retention of SRAM and register data without external components.
• Instant On Level 0 support allows immediate system initialization upon power-up without external boot PROMs.
• Nonvolatile flash-based architecture provides firm-error immunity against high-energy neutrons and secure IP protection via AES decryption.
• VersaTile architecture offers configurable logic functions including LUT-3 equivalents and D-flip-flops with enable capabilities.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring minimal active and standby power consumption
• Systems needing instant-on functionality and simplified power management
• Secure applications utilizing on-chip AES decryption and FlashLock security features

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm temperature grade and packaging compliance. Ensure the design flow accounts for the absence of embedded RAM and PLLs inherent to the AGL030 device class. Confirm that the QN68 package dimensions align with the target PCB layout constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when 30,000 system gates are sufficient for the logic requirements. Note that unlike higher-density devices, this part does not support embedded SRAM or Clock Conditioning Circuits with PLLs. It is suitable for designs prioritizing low pin count and small footprint over complex memory or clocking needs.

Part Context

This device belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA family, which utilizes a 130-nm flash process. It is architecturally compatible with other IGLOO devices but differs in capacity and feature availability, specifically lacking the RAM and PLL resources found in larger packages within the same series.

Replacement Considerations

For migration to lower densities, consider the AGL015, though it is not recommended for new designs. For higher capacity needs within the same package, verify pin compatibility with other devices supporting the QN68 form factor, ensuring functional differences like added RAM or PLLs do not conflict with the existing design.

FAQ

Does the AGL030V2-QNG68 support embedded SRAM?

No, the AGL015 and AGL030 devices do not support embedded SRAM or FIFO blocks.

What is the maximum number of user I/Os available in the QN68 package?

The QN68 package provides 49 single-ended user I/Os.

Can the Flash*Freeze pin be used as a regular I/O?

Yes, if Flash*Freeze mode usage is not planned, the Flash*Freeze pin can be routed internally and used as a regular I/O.
