AGL030V2-VQ100

Overview

The AGL030V2-VQ100 is a flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the IGLOO family, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 30,000 system gates and 768 VersaTiles (D-flip-flops). The device operates within a core voltage range of 1.14 V to 1.575 V and supports a maximum operating frequency of 250 MHz at 1.5 V or 160 MHz at 1.2 V. It provides up to 77 user I/Os in a VQFP-100 package. The component lacks embedded RAM and integrated PLL support but includes 1 kbit of FlashROM storage. It functions across commercial temperature ranges.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while retaining FPGA content and register data without external components.
• Instant On Level 0 capability allows immediate system initialization upon power-up without requiring external configuration PROMs.
• Nonvolatile flash architecture ensures firm-error immunity against high-energy neutrons and eliminates the need for boot PROMs.
• Supports single-voltage system operation with mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVCMOS and LVTTL.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static and dynamic power consumption
• Systems needing instant-on functionality and simplified initialization
• Secure applications utilizing AES decryption and FlashLock protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the package type and temperature grade. The 'V' indicates the IGLOO V2 variant, while 'Q100' specifies the VQFP-100 package. Ensure the application environment aligns with the commercial temperature rating if no industrial suffix is present. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this device for designs requiring approximately 30,000 system gates with minimal logic density. Note that the AGL030 does not include embedded SRAM or an integrated Phase-Locked Loop (PLL), which are available in higher-density variants like the AGL060. Verify that the 77 available I/Os meet interface requirements and that the VQFP-100 footprint fits the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA family, which utilizes a 130-nm process technology. It is architecturally compatible with other devices in the series, such as the AGL015 and AGL060, though feature sets vary significantly regarding memory and clocking resources. The AGL030 serves as a mid-range option for simple logic applications within the broader IGLOO portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

For pin-compatible upgrades with additional features, consider the AGL060-VQ100, which offers embedded RAM and an integrated PLL. For lower gate counts, the AGL015 is available but is not recommended for new designs. Ensure any replacement maintains the required I/O count and package dimensions.
