AGL125V5-VQ100

Overview

The AGL125V5-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 36 kbits of embedded SRAM within a 100-pin Very Thin Quad Flat Pack (VQFP) package. The device operates on a core voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V and supports a maximum operating frequency of 250 MHz at 1.5 V. It includes 71 user I/Os, one integrated Phase-Locked Loop (PLL), and 1 kbit of FlashROM. The component supports commercial temperature ranges and utilizes nonvolatile flash technology for instant-on capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while retaining configuration data without external components.
• Nonvolatile flash architecture provides Instant On functionality and eliminates the need for external boot PROMs.
• Integrated security features include AES-128 decryption support and FlashLock protection for intellectual property.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static and dynamic power consumption
• Systems needing secure in-system programming with remote field updates
• Applications requiring immediate operation upon power-up without initialization delays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Microchip documentation to confirm temperature grade and packaging compliance. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required junction temperature range and RoHS standards for your target application environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when design requirements align with 125,000 system gates and 71 available user I/Os. Consider the VQ100 package dimensions if board space is constrained. Verify that the 1.5 V only supply constraint meets the system power budget, as lower voltage options are not available for this specific part number.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA family, which is designed for applications prioritizing energy efficiency and security. The AGL125 variant sits between the AGL060 and AGL250 models in terms of logic capacity, offering a balance between resource availability and power consumption for mid-density programmable logic designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package may include other devices from the IGLOO family such as the AGL060 or AGL250, provided their gate counts and memory resources meet the design specifications. Verify functional equivalence regarding PLL availability and I/O bank configurations before substitution.
