AGL125V5-CSG196I

Overview

The AGL125V5-CSG196I is an IGLOO V5 flash FPGA from Microchip Technology, featuring 125,000 system gates and 3,072 VersaTiles. It operates within a core voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V and supports up to 133 user I/Os in the CS196 package. The device includes 36 kbits of true dual-port SRAM and 1 kbit of FlashROM. It supports industrial temperature ranges (-40°C to +85°C) and offers Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power retention.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based nonvolatile architecture providing instant-on capability without external configuration memory.
• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while retaining design data and register states.
• Integrated AES-128 decryption engine and FlashLock security features for intellectual property protection.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVCMOS and LVDS with bank-selectable voltages.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static and dynamic power consumption.
• Secure remote field updates utilizing in-system programming capabilities.
• System initialization tasks and clock generation before main processor wake-up.
• Applications requiring firm-error immunity against high-energy neutrons.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'CSG196I' corresponds to the Chip Scale Package variant with Industrial temperature rating. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by the 'G' suffix if applicable. Check current production status via official Microchip channels, as legacy IGLOO V5 devices may have limited availability or end-of-life notifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 125,000 system gates are required with a compact CS196 footprint. Ensure the design utilizes the 1.5V-only supply constraint associated with the V5 series. Verify that the 133 available user I/Os meet interface requirements. Consider the integrated PLL and SRAM resources for complex logic implementations without external components.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO family of low-power flash FPGAs manufactured by Microchip Technology. It represents the V5 iteration of the architecture, characterized by specific voltage support and enhanced security features compared to earlier versions. The part number indicates the gate count, package type, and temperature grade within the broader programmable logic portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same density include other AGL125 variants with different packages such as FG144 or QN1326. For higher density needs, consider AGL250 series devices which share architectural similarities but offer increased logic resources and I/O counts.

FAQ

Does the AGL125V5 support ARM Cortex-M1 processors?

No, the standard AGL125V5 does not support ARM Cortex-M1 processors. Only devices with part numbers starting with M1AGL, such as M1AGL250, include the Cortex-M1 soft processor.

What is the maximum operating frequency for the AGL125V5?

The datasheet specifies system performance of 250 MHz for 1.5V systems and 160 MHz for 1.2V systems. Since the V5 series typically operates at 1.5V, it supports up to 250 MHz.

Is the AGL125V5 immune to firm errors?

Yes, as a flash-based FPGA, the AGL125V5 is immune to firm errors caused by high-energy neutrons striking configuration cells, unlike SRAM-based FPGAs.
