AGL125V5-VQG100I

Overview

The AGL125V5-VQG100I is an IGLOO V5 flash FPGA from Microchip Technology, utilizing a 130-nm process. It provides 125,000 system gates and 3,072 VersaTiles within a VQFP-100 package. The device operates at a core voltage of 1.425 V to 1.575 V and supports up to 71 user I/Os. It includes 36 kbits of SRAM and 1 kbit of FlashROM. The component features Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power retention and supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables rapid entry into and exit from an ultra-low power mode while retaining all SRAM and register data without external components.
• Nonvolatile flash architecture eliminates the need for external boot PROMs, providing instant-on capability and immunity to firm errors caused by high-energy neutrons.
• Integrated AES decryption engine and FlashLock security mechanisms protect intellectual property and configuration data against unauthorized access and copying.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static power consumption and instant-on functionality
• Secure remote in-system programming (ISP) applications using AES encryption
• System initialization tasks executed before main processor wake-up

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'V5' to confirm the generation variant, as it dictates marking and feature sets. Confirm the 'I' suffix indicates the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C). Ensure the VQG100I designation matches the required Very Thin Quad Flat Pack with 100 leads. Check current availability status as supply may be limited or subject to factory special orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 125,000 system gates and 71 user I/Os are sufficient for the design logic. Verify that the VQFP-100 package dimensions fit the PCB layout constraints. Ensure the application requires the industrial temperature grade specified by the 'I' suffix. Confirm compatibility with the 1.5V-only core voltage if operating outside the 1.2V support range found in other variants.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO family of flash FPGAs, specifically the IGLOO V5 generation. It shares architectural similarities with the AGL060 and AGL250 but offers a distinct gate count and I/O density. The part number structure follows Microchip's standard coding for package type, temperature grade, and security features within the IGLOO portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include the AGL060 and AGL250 series devices, provided the logic resource requirements align. Verify that any substitute maintains the required VQFP-100 footprint and electrical characteristics. Cross-reference datasheet specifications for memory size and I/O capabilities to ensure functional equivalence.
