AGL125V5-CS196

Overview

The AGL125V5-CS196 is a 125,000-gate Flash FPGA from the IGLOO family, manufactured using a 130-nm process. It features 3,072 VersaTiles and 36 kbits of dual-port SRAM within an 8x8 mm CS196 package with a 0.50 mm pitch. The device supports a core voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V and operates at frequencies up to 250 MHz in 1.5 V systems. It includes one integrated PLL for clock conditioning and provides 133 user I/Os. The component offers Instant On functionality, AES-protected in-system programming, and Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power retention.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based nonvolatile architecture eliminates the need for external configuration boot PROMs.
• Flash*Freeze technology enables rapid entry into ultra-low power modes while retaining all internal data.
• Integrated 128-bit AES decryption engine secures intellectual property during in-system programming.
• Instant On capability allows immediate system initialization upon power application.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static power consumption
• Secure remote field updates via encrypted ISP
• System control logic replacing CPLDs or ASICs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'V5' indicates the correct silicon revision level required for your design. Confirm that the CS196 package dimensions align with your PCB footprint constraints. Ensure the industrial temperature grade matches your environmental specifications before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 125,000 system gates are sufficient for the target logic density. Verify that the 133 available user I/Os meet the interface requirements. Consider the 1.5 V only supply constraint if designing against lower voltage rails. Check compatibility with existing Microchip development tools for the IGLOO family.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA family, which bridges the gap between high-cost ASICs and volatile SRAM-based FPGAs. It shares pin-out compatibility with other devices in the CS196 package across the AGL125, AGL250, and AGL400 series, facilitating potential density migration strategies.

Replacement Considerations

The AGL125V2-CS196 serves as a direct predecessor with identical physical characteristics but lacks the V5 silicon revision updates. Designers migrating from older revisions should verify timing closure and feature parity with the updated datasheet.

FAQ

Does the AGL125V5 support ARM Cortex-M1 processors?

No, the standard AGL125 does not support embedded ARM processors. Only M1AGL-series devices include the Cortex-M1 soft processor.

What is the maximum operating frequency for this device?

The device supports system performance up to 250 MHz when operated in 1.5 V systems.

Is the FlashROM memory reprogrammable?

Yes, the IGLOO devices include 1 kbit of on-chip, reprogrammable, nonvolatile FlashROM storage.
