AGL030V5-QNG68

Overview

The AGL030V5-QNG68 is a flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array (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 of 1.5 V only and supports up to 81 user I/Os in its QN68 package. It utilizes a 130-nm, 7-layer metal, flash-based CMOS process. The architecture includes Instant On Level 0 support and retains programmed designs when powered off. Unlike higher-density devices in the series, this specific model does not support embedded RAM or integrated Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs).

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while maintaining FPGA content.
• Instant On Level 0 support allows immediate system initialization without external boot PROMs.
• Nonvolatile flash storage provides high security against firm errors and unauthorized access.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low power management
• System component initialization and critical task execution before processor wake-up
• Secure remote field updates using AES decryption

Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix 'V5' confirms the 1.5 V only supply voltage specification. Confirm the 'QN68' package designation matches the required Quad Flat Pack No Leads form factor. Ensure the industrial or commercial temperature grade aligns with the application environment requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this device for designs requiring approximately 30,000 system gates with nonvolatile configuration. Note that AGL030 lacks embedded SRAM and PLL resources; verify if the design requires these features before choosing this part over higher-density alternatives like the AGL060.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGAs family. It is architecturally compatible with the AGL015 but offers double the logic capacity. The AGL015 is noted as not recommended for new designs, making the AGL030 the entry-level choice for new projects within this density range.

Replacement Considerations

AGL030V2-QNG68: Compatible alternative with different voltage support (1.2 V to 1.5 V).

FAQ

Does the AGL030V5-QNG68 support embedded memory?

No, the AGL030 device does not support embedded RAM or FIFO blocks.

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

The device supports up to 81 user I/Os in the QN68 package.

Is an external configuration PROM required?

No, the flash-based architecture supports Instant On Level 0, eliminating the need for external boot PROMs.
