AGL1000V2-FG256T

Overview

The AGL1000V2-FG256T is a flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the IGLOO family, manufactured by Microsemi. It features 1,000,000 system gates and 24,576 VersaTiles. The device includes 144 kbits of true dual-port SRAM organized in 32 blocks of 4,608 bits each. It operates with a core voltage range of 1.14 V to 1.575 V and supports up to 177 user I/Os in a 256-pin Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (FG256) package. The component provides 160 MHz performance at 1.2 V and 250 MHz at 1.5 V.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while retaining FPGA content without requiring external components.
• Instant On Level 0 support allows immediate operation upon power-up without an external boot PROM.
• Integrated AES decryption engine provides secure In-System Programming via JTAG.
• Six Clock Conditioning Circuit blocks include one with an integrated Phase-Locked Loop.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static power consumption
• Secure remote field updates over public networks
• Systems needing instant-on initialization before processor wake-up

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' against official Microsemi documentation to confirm temperature grade or packaging details, as datasheets may list standard commercial or industrial variants. Ensure the FG256 footprint compatibility requirements are met for your PCB design. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributor.

Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring high gate density with nonvolatile configuration. The 1.2 V to 1.5 V core voltage support offers flexibility for low-power systems. Consider the 177 available user I/Os and 144 kbits of embedded memory when mapping logic functions. Verify that the 250 MHz maximum frequency meets timing constraints for your application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA family, which utilizes a 130-nm process. The AGL1000 variant represents the highest capacity in the standard series with 1 million gates. It is pin-compatible with other packages in the family, such as FG144 and FG484, facilitating design migration across different I/O counts.

Replacement Considerations

Check for AGL1000V2-FG256I if an industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C) is required instead of the commercial range. Other package options like FG144 or FG484 offer pin-compatible alternatives with different I/O counts.
