AGL1000V2-CS281I

Overview

The Microchip Technology AGL1000V2-CS281I is a nonvolatile flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the IGLOO family. It features 1,000,000 system gates and 24,576 VersaTiles within a 281-pin Chip Scale Package (CS281). The device operates with a core voltage range of 1.14 V to 1.575 V and supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +100°C. Key specifications include up to 144 kbits of true dual-port SRAM, six Clock Conditioning Circuits (CCC), and one integrated Phase-Locked Loop (PLL). It provides 300 user I/Os and incorporates Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power retention.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables rapid entry into and exit from an ultra-low power mode that retains all SRAM and register data without requiring external components.
• Nonvolatile flash architecture eliminates the need for external boot PROMs or configuration devices, providing instant-on functionality and immunity to firm errors caused by high-energy neutrons.
• Integrated security features include FlashLock protection and AES-128 decryption capabilities to secure intellectual property and enable secure in-system programming.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static power consumption and small footprint packages
• Systems needing secure remote field updates and in-system reprogramming via JTAG
• Applications demanding immediate system initialization upon power-up without external configuration memory

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compliance with export regulations if applicable. Confirm RoHS status and moisture sensitivity levels prior to assembly planning. Cross-reference the datasheet revision to validate current manufacturing status and any potential design changes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-chip FPGA solution with nonvolatile configuration is required. Consider the 1 million gate capacity and 144 kbits of embedded memory for complex logic designs. Evaluate the CS281 package dimensions against board space constraints. Verify that the 1.2V to 1.5V core voltage support aligns with the target system's power supply architecture.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA family manufactured by Microchip Technology. It utilizes a 130-nm flash process with seven layers of metal. The device is architecturally compatible with other members of the IGLOO series, offering pin-compatible packages across the family to facilitate design migration between different density levels.

Replacement Considerations

For equivalent gate counts and similar package footprints, consider the standard AGL1000 variant. If ARM Cortex-M1 processor integration is not required, the non-AARM version offers identical fabric resources. Verify pin compatibility and electrical characteristics before substituting with other IGLOO family members.
