AGL060V2-CSG121I

Overview

The AGL060V2-CSG121I is a low-power flash Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Microsemi IGLOO family, manufactured using a 130-nm process. It provides 60,000 system gates and 1,536 configurable logic blocks (VersaTiles). The device operates with a core voltage range of 1.2 V to 1.5 V and supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVCMOS 3.3 V, 2.5 V, 1.8 V, 1.5 V, and 1.2 V. It features Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power consumption while retaining configuration data. The part is housed in a CS121 package with 121 pins, offering up to 96 user I/Os. It includes 18 kbits of dual-port SRAM and 1 kbit of FlashROM.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze Technology enables ultra-low power consumption while maintaining FPGA content and allows rapid entry and exit from the mode.
• Instant On capability eliminates the need for external boot PROMs by storing configuration directly in on-chip nonvolatile flash memory.
• Integrated security features include AES-protected In-System Programming (ISP) and FlashLock to secure intellectual property.
• Advanced I/O structure supports bank-selectable voltages and mixed-voltage operation across multiple banks.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring minimal active and standby power consumption
• Battery-operated sensor nodes and wireless communication devices
• Industrial control systems needing secure and instant-on programmable logic
• Medical equipment with strict power management requirements

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C junction temperature). Confirm the 'V2' designation indicates support for the 1.2 V to 1.5 V core voltage range. Ensure the CS121 package type matches the required footprint dimensions and pitch specifications for the target PCB design.

Selection Notes

Select this device when 60,000 system gates are sufficient for the design logic. Consider the CS121 package if a compact 6 mm x 6 mm footprint is required. Verify that the available 96 user I/Os meet the interface count needs. Note that the AGL060 does not support an integrated PLL; clock conditioning must be managed via other means or higher-density devices if PLL functionality is mandatory.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA family, which utilizes nonvolatile flash technology for instant-on operation. It is designed as a single-chip solution to reduce bill-of-materials costs and PCB area by eliminating external configuration components. The family offers reprogrammability with ASIC-level unit costs at higher volumes.

Replacement Considerations

For pin-compatible upgrades within the same package, consider the AGL125V2-CSG121I for increased capacity. For lower density options, the AGL030V2-CSG121I is available but lacks RAM and PLL features. Ensure any replacement maintains the required voltage and temperature specifications.
