AGL030V5-CSG81I

Overview

The AGL030V5-CSG81I is an IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA manufactured by Microchip Technology. It utilizes a 130-nm flash process and provides 30,000 system gates with 768 VersaTiles (D-flip-flops). The device operates within a core voltage range of 1.2 V to 1.5 V and supports up to 81 user I/Os in the CS81 package. It features Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power retention and includes 1 kbit of nonvolatile FlashROM storage. The component is available in industrial temperature grades (-40°C to +100°C) and does not support integrated PLL or embedded RAM.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based architecture providing instant-on capability without external configuration memory
• Flash*Freeze technology enabling ultra-low power consumption while retaining SRAM and register data
• Nonvolatile design immune to firm errors caused by high-energy neutrons
• Integrated AES decryption engine for secure in-system programming

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static and dynamic power consumption
• Systems needing secure remote field updates via AES-protected ISP
• Applications replacing CPLDs or clock generation PLLs due to instant-on functionality

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding the CS81 footprint dimensions and pitch. Confirm that the selected variant meets the required junction temperature specifications for the intended operating environment.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 30,000 system gates are sufficient for the logic requirements. The V5 suffix indicates a 1.5 V only supply constraint compared to V2 variants. Consider the absence of embedded RAM and PLL if complex timing or data buffering is needed. Verify pin counts align with the 81-pin CSP package availability.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IGLOO family of flash FPGAs, which are designed for low-power applications using a 130-nm process. The AGL030 density sits between the AGL015 and AGL060 devices. Unlike higher-density models, the AGL030 lacks integrated PLLs and embedded RAM blocks, focusing on basic logic and I/O capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

AGL030V2-CSG81I: Offers wider voltage support (1.2V to 1.5V) but may have different performance characteristics. AGL060V5-CSG81I: Provides higher gate count and additional resources like PLLs, ensuring pin compatibility.
