AGL125V2-VQ100

Overview

The AGL125V2-VQ100 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 100-pin Very Thin Quad Flat Pack (VQFP) package. The device operates on a core voltage ranging from 1.2 V to 1.5 V and supports a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +85°C junction temperature. It includes 36 kbits of embedded 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 an ultra-low power mode that retains all design data and register states while consuming minimal energy.
• Nonvolatile flash architecture provides Instant On capability, eliminating the need for external boot PROMs or configuration devices.
• Integrated security features include FlashLock protection and AES-128 encryption support for secure in-system programming and intellectual property protection.
• Advanced I/O structure supports mixed-voltage operation across multiple banks with programmable slew rates and drive strengths.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static power consumption and instant-on initialization
• Secure remote field updates utilizing nonvolatile configuration and encrypted ISP
• System control logic managing power distribution based on external stimuli

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the package type, temperature grade, and lead-free status. Ensure the selected variant matches the required junction temperature range and packaging specifications for your application. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as production status may vary.

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 state machines or interface bridging without the overhead of higher-density FPGAs. Verify I/O voltage requirements against the supported mixed-voltage standards.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA family, which utilizes a 130-nm process. It serves as a cost-effective alternative to ASICs for mid-volume production runs. The device offers pin compatibility within its package size across different densities in the same family, facilitating design migration.

Replacement Considerations

Check for AGL125V5 variants for updated manufacturing processes. Consider AGL060 or AGL250 if gate counts differ significantly from design needs. ARM-enabled M1AGL250 parts offer processor integration but lack AES decryption support.
