AGL125V2-CSG196I

Overview

The AGL125V2-CSG196I is an IGLOOe flash FPGA from Microchip Technology, utilizing a 130-nm process. It provides 125,000 system gates and 3,072 VersaTiles. The device operates within a core voltage range of 1.14 V to 1.575 V and supports an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It features up to 143 user I/Os in the CS196 package and includes 36 kbits of embedded SRAM. Key capabilities include Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power retention (5 µW), Instant On functionality, and AES-protected in-system programming.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables rapid entry into and exit from an ultra-low power mode that retains all configuration data and register states without requiring external components.
• Nonvolatile flash architecture eliminates the need for external boot PROMs, providing instant-on capability and immunity to firm errors caused by high-energy neutrons.
• Integrated security features include FlashLock protection and a built-in 128-bit AES decryption engine for secure in-system programming and intellectual property protection.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static power consumption and immediate system initialization
• Secure remote field updates and firmware upgrades over public networks
• Industrial control systems needing firm-error immunity and reliable operation across wide temperature ranges

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Microchip documentation to confirm package type, temperature grade, and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with existing design tools and licensing requirements for cryptographic IP if applicable. Confirm current production status and availability through authorized distributors before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of moderate logic density and ultra-low power consumption is required. The 125,000 gate count suits applications needing complex logic without the overhead of higher-density devices. Consider the CS196 package size constraints and verify I/O voltage requirements match the target system's mixed-voltage standards.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IGLOOe family, which extends the original IGLOO line with enhanced performance and additional features like increased RAM capacity. The 'V2' designation indicates the second generation of this low-power flash FPGA series, offering improved routing resources and lower power characteristics compared to predecessors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package may include other AGL125 variants or higher-density parts like AGL250V2 if logic resources are insufficient. Verify electrical compatibility and software tool support when migrating between different density levels within the IGLOO family.
