AGL030V5-VQ100

Overview

The AGL030V5-VQ100 is a commercial-grade IGLOO V5 flash FPGA from Microchip Technology, housed in a 100-pin Very Thin Quad Flat Pack (VQFP-100) package. It provides 30,000 system gates and 768 VersaTiles, supporting up to 77 user I/Os. The device operates on a single 1.5V core voltage with a supply range of 1.425V to 1.575V. It features Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power retention and includes 1 kbit of nonvolatile FlashROM. The component supports Instant On Level 0 functionality and is designed for applications requiring low power consumption and high security without external configuration memory.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables rapid entry into an ultra-low power mode that retains SRAM and register data while consuming minimal energy.
• Instant On Level 0 support allows the device to execute critical tasks immediately upon power-up without requiring external boot PROMs.
• Integrated AES decryption engine and FlashLock mechanism provide robust protection for intellectual property and configuration data against unauthorized access.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring extended battery life through low-power active and standby modes
• Secure field upgrades utilizing in-system programming capabilities
• System initialization and clock management replacing traditional CPLDs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'V5' to confirm the device revision matches design requirements, as marking conventions differ between IGLOO V2 and V5 devices. Ensure the VQ100 package dimensions align with PCB layout constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this model when designs require approximately 30,000 system gates within a compact 100-pin footprint. It is suitable for applications needing instant-on capabilities and secure, reprogrammable logic without embedded RAM or PLL resources. Consider higher-density variants if additional logic capacity or memory blocks are required for future scalability.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO family of low-power flash FPGAs manufactured by Microchip Technology. It utilizes a 130-nm flash-based CMOS process. The AGL030 variant represents a mid-range density option within the series, offering architectural compatibility with other IGLOO devices while lacking integrated PLL and RAM features found in larger models.

Replacement Considerations

AGL030V2-VQ100: Architecturally compatible IGLOO V2 device; verify temperature grade and marking differences. AGL060-VQ100: Higher density alternative with 60,000 gates and integrated PLL/RAM; requires design migration review.
