AGL1000V2-CS281

Overview

The AGL1000V2-CS281 is a nonvolatile flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the IGLOO family, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 1,000,000 system gates and 24,576 VersaTiles within a 281-pin Chip Scale Package (CS281). The device supports a core voltage range of 1.2V to 1.5V and operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +85°C. Key specifications include up to 144 kbits of true dual-port SRAM, 1 kbit of FlashROM, and an integrated Phase-Locked Loop (PLL). It utilizes a 130-nm process and offers Instant On capability without external configuration memory.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while retaining SRAM and register data during deep sleep modes.
• Nonvolatile flash architecture provides Instant On functionality, eliminating the need for external boot PROMs or configuration components.
• Integrated security features include FlashLock protection and AES-128 encryption support for intellectual property safeguarding.
• Advanced I/O structure supports mixed-voltage operation across multiple banks with programmable slew rates and drive strengths.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static power and rapid wake-up times
• Secure remote in-system programming applications utilizing AES encryption
• Industrial control systems needing firm-error immunity against high-energy neutrons

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with design tools supporting the IGLOO V2 architecture. Check for export restrictions if applicable. Confirm RoHS compliance status based on the packaging variant selected. Validate pin assignments against the CS281 datasheet section before finalizing board layout.

Selection Notes

Select this device for designs requiring high gate density with minimal footprint. Consider the 1.2V to 1.5V voltage range for optimized power efficiency. Verify that the required I/O count fits within the 215 user I/O limit of the CS281 package. Evaluate the need for ARM Cortex-M1 integration; if required, choose an M1AGL variant instead as this part lacks the processor.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA family. It represents the highest logic density option in the standard IGLOO series, offering 1 million system gates. The CS281 package provides a compact 10mm x 10mm form factor suitable for space-constrained applications. It serves as a cost-effective alternative to ASICs for medium-to-high volume production runs.

Replacement Considerations

For designs requiring an embedded ARM processor, consider the M1AGL1000V2-CS281. Standard IGLOO devices without the 'V2' suffix may have different voltage characteristics. Verify package compatibility when migrating between CS281 and other high-pin-count options like FG484.
