AGL1000V5-FG256I

Overview

The Microchip Technology AGL1000V5-FG256I is an IGLOOe FPGA featuring 1,000,000 system gates and 24,576 VersaTiles. It utilizes a 130-nm flash process with a 1.5V core voltage and operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device is housed in a 256-pin Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (FG256) package measuring 17x17 mm. It provides 177 user I/Os and includes 144 kbits of true dual-port SRAM organized into 32 blocks. Key features include Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power retention and Instant On capability.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based nonvolatile architecture eliminates the need for external configuration boot PROMs.
• Flash*Freeze technology enables rapid entry into ultra-low power modes while retaining all internal data.
• Integrated Clock Conditioning Circuits provide configurable phase shift and frequency multiplication capabilities.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVCMOS and LVDS for flexible system interfacing.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static power consumption
• Industrial control systems needing instant-on functionality
• Secure embedded applications utilizing AES encryption

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm the FG256 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure design tools support the IGLOOe family architecture. Check for any export compliance documentation requirements before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 1 million system gates are required alongside significant embedded memory resources. The FG256 package offers a balance between pin count and board space. Consider the M1AGL variant if an integrated ARM Cortex-M1 processor is necessary for the application logic.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOOe family of low-power flash FPGAs from Microchip Technology. It represents a higher-density option within the standard IGLOO series, offering enhanced logic capacity compared to lower-end models like the AGL600. The V5 designation indicates the specific generation of the flash process technology used.

Replacement Considerations

The AGL1000V2-FG256I serves as a previous generation alternative within the same package. Verify that the older V2 process meets the specific power and performance requirements of the current design before substituting.
