AGL060V5-VQ100I

Overview

The AGL060V5-VQ100I is an industrial-grade IGLOO flash FPGA from Microchip Technology, utilizing a 130-nm process. It provides 60,000 system gates and 1,536 VersaTiles within a VQFP-100 package featuring 71 user I/Os. The device operates on a core voltage ranging from 1.425 V to 1.575 V and supports a maximum operating frequency of 108 MHz. It includes 18 kbits of embedded SRAM and 1 kbit of FlashROM. Designed for the -40°C to +100°C temperature range, it integrates Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power retention.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based nonvolatile architecture providing instant-on functionality without external configuration memory
• Flash*Freeze technology enabling ultra-low power consumption while retaining design content and register data
• Integrated AES decryption engine supporting secure in-system programming via JTAG
• Versatile I/O structure supporting mixed-voltage operation across multiple standards

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static power and instant-on capabilities
• Secure remote field updates with IP protection requirements
• System initialization and critical task execution prior to processor wake-up
• Applications replacing CPLDs or clock generation PLLs to reduce bill-of-materials cost

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C) and the 'VQ100' indicates the Very Thin Quad Flat Pack package. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by the 'G' suffix if present in the full part number. Ensure the design flow accounts for the 130-nm process node specifications provided in the official datasheet.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 60,000 system gates and 71 user I/Os are required in a compact VQFP-100 footprint. The industrial temperature rating makes it suitable for harsh environments where commercial grade devices may fail. Verify that the 1.5V core voltage requirement aligns with the target system power rails and that the 18 kbits of SRAM meets the data storage needs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO family of low-power flash FPGAs manufactured by Microchip Technology (formerly Actel). The AGL060 variant represents the 60,000 gate density tier within the series. The V5 designation indicates the specific generation of the IGLOO platform, which includes enhanced features like Flash*Freeze and integrated security engines compared to earlier versions.

Replacement Considerations

For pin-compatible replacements within the same package, consider other AGL060 variants such as the commercial grade AGL060V5-VQ100C. For higher density requirements in the same package, the AGL125V5-VQ100I offers increased logic resources. Cross-family migration to ProASIC3 or IGLOOe requires verification of architectural differences and routing resources.
