AGL1000V5-FG256

Overview

The AGL1000V5-FG256 is an IGLOOe flash FPGA manufactured by Microchip Technology, utilizing a 130-nm process. It provides 1 million system gates and 24,576 VersaTiles (D-flip-flops). The device features 144 kbits of true dual-port SRAM organized in 32 blocks of 4,608 bits, alongside 1 kbit of FlashROM. It operates within a core voltage range of 1.2V to 1.5V and supports up to 177 user I/Os in the FG256 package. The component includes six Clock Conditioning Circuits (CCC), one with an integrated PLL, and supports mixed-voltage I/O standards from 1.2V to 3.3V.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while retaining design data without external components.
• Instant On capability eliminates the need for external configuration PROMs or boot devices.
• Integrated AES decryption engine and FlashLock provide secure in-system programming and intellectual property protection.
• Nonvolatile flash architecture ensures immunity to firm errors caused by high-energy neutrons.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static and dynamic power consumption
• Secure remote field updates over public networks
• System initialization and critical task execution before processor wake-up

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the temperature grade and packaging compliance. The 'I' suffix indicates industrial temperature range availability. Ensure the part number matches the required voltage support and package type. Confirm export control status if applicable. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding assembly or software updates.

Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring 1 million system gates with embedded ARM Cortex-M1 processor support. Verify that the FG256 package footprint meets board space constraints. Ensure the application utilizes the 1.2V to 1.5V core voltage range for optimal power efficiency. Confirm that the required I/O count does not exceed 177 single-ended pins.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOOe family of low-power flash FPGAs. It is an evolution of the original IGLOO series, offering enhanced performance and additional features like ARM Cortex-M1 integration. The V5 designation indicates specific process and feature revisions within the IGLOOe lineage.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include other AGL1000 variants such as AGL1000V2-FG256. Cross-family migration to PolarFire or SmartFusion requires schematic and firmware redesign due to architectural differences.
