AGL1000V2-FGG256T

Overview

The AGL1000V2-FGG256T is a Microsemi IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA featuring 1,000,000 system gates and 24,576 VersaTiles. It utilizes a 130-nm flash-based CMOS process with a 1.2 V to 1.5 V core voltage range. The device provides up to 144 kbits of true dual-port SRAM and supports 177 user I/Os in a 256-pin Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (FG256) package. System performance reaches 250 MHz at 1.5 V and 160 MHz at 1.2 V. It includes six Clock Conditioning Circuits (CCC), one with an integrated PLL, and 1 kbit of nonvolatile FlashROM.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while retaining design data without reloading configuration.
• Instant On Level 0 support allows immediate operation upon power-up without external boot PROMs.
• Integrated AES decryption engine secures in-system programming and intellectual property.
• Bank-selectable I/O voltages support mixed-voltage operation across multiple standards.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static and dynamic power management
• Systems needing secure remote field updates via JTAG
• Applications replacing CPLDs or clock generation PLLs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Y' indicates inclusion of the Cryptography Research Inc. patent license. Confirm the 'G' suffix denotes RoHS-compliant packaging. Ensure the temperature grade matches the required junction operating range for the target environment.

Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring high gate density within a small footprint. The FG256 package offers 177 user I/Os suitable for complex interface requirements. Consider the 1.2 V core option if minimizing active power consumption is critical compared to the 1.5 V performance mode.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO V2 family of low-power flash FPGAs. It shares architectural features with other AGL1000 variants but differs in package type and licensing options. The V2 designation specifically supports the wider 1.2 V to 1.5 V core voltage range.

Replacement Considerations

Check for pin-compatible packages within the IGLOO family such as FG144 or FG484 if I/O count permits. Verify that alternative densities like AGL600 meet logic resource requirements before substitution.

FAQ

Does the AGL1000V2-FGG256T require an external configuration memory?

No, it uses nonvolatile flash technology, allowing it to be Instant On without external boot PROMs.

What is the maximum system performance frequency?

The device achieves 250 MHz in 1.5 V systems and 160 MHz in 1.2 V systems.

How does Flash*Freeze mode affect I/O states?

I/O states are tristated during Flash*Freeze mode or can be set to a specific state using weak pull-up or pull-down configurations.
