AGL1000V5-CS281

Overview

The AGL1000V5-CS281 is a Microchip IGLOO V5 flash FPGA featuring 1,000,000 system gates and 24,576 VersaTiles. It operates on a single 1.5V supply voltage within the CS281 package, providing 215 user I/Os. The device includes 144 kbits of true dual-port SRAM and 1 kbit of FlashROM. Key features include Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power retention (5 µW typical), Instant On capability, and AES-protected in-system programming. It supports mixed-voltage I/O standards up to 3.3V and integrates clock conditioning circuits with PLLs.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based nonvolatile architecture eliminates external configuration boot PROMs
• Flash*Freeze technology enables rapid entry into ultra-low power mode while retaining data
• Integrated ARM Cortex-M1 soft processor support available in M1 variants
• AES-128 encryption engine secures intellectual property and design data

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static power consumption
• Secure remote field updates via encrypted in-system programming
• Instant-on system initialization and critical task execution before processor wake-up

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'V5' indicates the voltage grade and revision level against the manufacturer's current datasheet DS60001805A. Confirm that the CS281 package availability aligns with your board layout requirements. Ensure compliance with export regulations if applicable. Check for any engineering change notices affecting pin assignments or electrical characteristics prior to final procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 1 million system gates are required with a 1.5V-only core voltage constraint. The CS281 package offers high I/O density suitable for complex interface applications. Consider the M1AGL1000 variant if an embedded ARM Cortex-M1 processor is needed. Verify that the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C) meets environmental specifications, as commercial options may differ.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO family of low-power flash FPGAs manufactured by Microchip Technology. The IGLOO series is distinguished by its nonvolatile flash process, which provides instant-on functionality and robust security features compared to traditional SRAM-based FPGAs. The V5 designation typically refers to a specific voltage or feature revision within the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package and gate count should be verified using the official Microchip migration guide. Cross-referencing with the AGL1000 standard version is necessary if voltage flexibility is not required. No third-party equivalents are officially documented.
