AGL125V2-VQG100I

Overview

The AGL125V2-VQG100I is an IGLOO V2 flash FPGA from Microchip Technology, featuring 125,000 system gates and 1,500 logic elements. It operates within a core voltage range of 1.14 V to 1.575 V and supports a maximum frequency of 892.86 MHz. The device provides 71 user I/Os in a VQFP-100 package and includes 36 kbits of embedded SRAM. Designed for industrial applications, it functions reliably between -40°C and +100°C junction temperature.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while retaining design data without external components.
• Instant On Level 0 support allows immediate operation upon power-up without external configuration memory.
• Integrated AES decryption engine secures intellectual property and enables secure in-system programming.

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 ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type, temperature grade, and security features. Confirm that the 'I' suffix corresponds to the industrial temperature range and that the VQG100 designation matches the required Very Thin Quad Flat Pack with 100 leads. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding pin assignments.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a nonvolatile FPGA solution is required to eliminate external boot PROMs. Consider the 125,000 gate capacity and 71 I/O count for moderate complexity designs. Evaluate the 1.2V to 1.5V core voltage flexibility for optimal power efficiency in single-voltage systems compared to fixed-voltage alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IGLOO V2 family, which utilizes a 130-nm flash process. It shares architectural similarities with other IGLOO devices but offers enhanced power management through Flash*Freeze technology. The VQG100 package variant provides a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained portable applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same density include other AGL125 variants with different packages or temperature grades. Verify that any substitute maintains the required 1.2V to 1.5V core voltage support and industrial temperature rating if applicable.

FAQ

Does the AGL125V2-VQG100I require an external configuration PROM?

No, the device uses nonvolatile flash technology, allowing it to be Instant On without external configuration components.

What is the purpose of the Flash*Freeze feature?

Flash*Freeze allows the device to enter an ultra-low power mode (as low as 5 µW) while retaining all SRAM and register data, enabling rapid recovery to operation.

Is in-system programming supported on this device?

Yes, the device supports ISP using on-chip 128-bit AES decryption via JTAG, excluding ARM-enabled IGLOO devices.
