AGL125V2-FG144I

Overview

The AGL125V2-FG144I is a flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the IGLOO family, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 125,000 system gates and 3,072 VersaTiles within a 144-pin Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (FG144) package. The device operates on a core voltage ranging from 1.14 V to 1.575 V and supports an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It includes 36 kbits of embedded true dual-port SRAM and 1 kbit of FlashROM. Key capabilities include Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power retention, Instant On functionality without external configuration memory, and support for mixed-voltage I/O standards.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables rapid entry into and exit from an ultra-low power mode that retains all design data and register states while consuming minimal energy.
• Instant On capability allows the FPGA to function immediately upon power-up without requiring external boot PROMs or configuration devices.
• Integrated security features include FlashLock protection and AES-128 decryption engine for secure in-system programming and intellectual property protection.
• Advanced I/O structure supports mixed-voltage operation across multiple banks, accommodating various single-ended and differential signaling standards.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static power consumption and immediate system activation
• Secure remote field updates utilizing AES-protected in-system programming
• System control logic managing power distribution based on external stimuli

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 board footprints for the FG144 package dimensions. Confirm that the selected variant meets the required industrial temperature specifications for the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a nonvolatile FPGA solution is needed to eliminate external configuration memory. Consider the 125,000 gate capacity and 97 available user I/Os for moderate complexity designs. Evaluate the 1.2V to 1.5V core voltage options if minimizing dynamic power consumption is a primary design constraint compared to fixed voltage alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IGLOO family of low-power flash FPGAs. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the series, such as the AGL250 and AGL060, but offers a specific balance of logic density and I/O count. The FG144 package provides a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained applications while maintaining pin compatibility within the family's smaller package offerings.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package may include other densities in the IGLOO family, such as the AGL060 or AGL250, provided the logic resource requirements are met. Verify that any substitute device supports the necessary I/O standards and voltage levels required by the system design.
