AGL1000V2-FG256

Overview

The AGL1000V2-FG256 is a 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. The device includes 144 kbits of true dual-port SRAM organized into 32 blocks of 4,608 bits each, along with 1 kbit of FlashROM. It supports up to 177 user I/Os in a 256-LBGA package. Operating voltage ranges from 1.14V to 1.575V, with a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while retaining SRAM and register data without external components.
• Nonvolatile flash architecture provides Instant On capability, eliminating the need for external boot PROMs or configuration memory.
• Integrated security features include FlashLock protection and AES-128 decryption engine for secure in-system programming.
• Advanced I/O structure supports mixed-voltage operation across multiple banks with programmable slew rates and drive strength.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static and dynamic power consumption
• Systems needing instant-on functionality and rapid recovery from low-power modes
• Secure applications utilizing nonvolatile FPGA fabric for intellectual property protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'FG256' corresponds to the Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array package with 256 pins. Confirm the 'V2' designation indicates the 1.2V to 1.5V core voltage support variant. Ensure the absence of an 'I' suffix matches the required commercial temperature grade. Check for RoHS compliance status as indicated in the ordering information tables.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high logic density is required alongside ultra-low power standby modes. The 1.2V core voltage option offers reduced power compared to 1.5V-only variants. Verify that the 177 available user I/Os meet interface requirements. Consider the FG256 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints relative to other IGLOO packages.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IGLOO V2 series within the broader IGLOO flash FPGA family. It shares architectural similarities with the M1AGL1000 but lacks the integrated ARM Cortex-M1 processor. It serves as a high-density, low-power alternative to SRAM-based FPGAs in cost-sensitive and power-constrained embedded designs.

Replacement Considerations

The AGL1000V2-FG256I is the industrial temperature grade equivalent. Other AGL1000 variants may differ in package type or voltage support. Cross-referencing with older AGL1000 versions requires verification of pin compatibility and feature parity.
