AGL1000V5-FGG484I

Overview

The AGL1000V5-FGG484I is an industrial-grade IGLOOe flash FPGA from Microchip Technology, utilizing a 130-nm process. It features 1 million system gates and 24,576 VersaTiles within a 484-ball FBGA package (23x23 mm). The device supports a core voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to +100°C. Key specifications include up to 144 kbits of true dual-port SRAM, 300 user I/Os, and integrated clock conditioning circuits with PLL capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while retaining configuration data without external components.
• Nonvolatile flash architecture provides instant-on functionality and immunity to firm errors caused by high-energy neutrons.
• Integrated AES decryption engine and FlashLock security mechanisms protect intellectual property during in-system programming.
• Versatile I/O structure supports mixed-voltage operation across multiple banks for diverse interface requirements.

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 suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C) as documented in the datasheet. Confirm that the FG484 package designation matches the required footprint dimensions. Ensure compliance with export regulations if applicable, as noted in distributor listings. Cross-reference the ordering information table to validate the exact part number against current production status.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high gate density is required alongside nonvolatile storage and robust security features. The industrial temperature rating makes it suitable for harsh environments where commercial grades are insufficient. Consider the 484-pin package size constraints relative to available PCB area. Verify that the 1.5V-only core voltage requirement aligns with the target system power design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO family of flash FPGAs, specifically the IGLOOe variant which adds ARM Cortex-M1 support options in other densities. The AGL1000 represents the highest logic capacity within the standard IGLOO series. It serves as a cost-effective ASIC replacement solution for consumer, networking, and avionics markets.

Replacement Considerations

The M1AGL1000V5-FGG484I offers identical physical and logical resources but includes an embedded ARM Cortex-M1 processor. Standard IGLOO devices like the AGL1000 lack this processor core. Package compatibility exists between FG256 and FG484 footprints, though pin counts differ significantly.
