AGL250V2-CS196

Overview

The AGL250V2-CS196I is an IGLOO V2 flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 250,000 system gates and 6,144 VersaTiles within a 196-pin CSBGA package. The device supports a core voltage range of 1.2V to 1.5V and operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +100°C. Key specifications include 36 kbits of embedded SRAM, 143 user I/Os, and support for 700 Mbps DDR interfaces with LVDS capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while retaining FPGA content and register data without external components.
• Instant On Level 0 support allows immediate system initialization upon power-up without requiring external configuration PROMs.
• Integrated AES-128 decryption engine provides secure in-system programming and protects intellectual property against unauthorized access.
• Advanced I/O structure supports mixed-voltage operation across multiple banks and includes programmable slew rates and drive strengths.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static and dynamic power consumption
• Battery-powered embedded systems utilizing Flash*Freeze mode for energy management
• Secure remote field updates via encrypted in-system programming
• Industrial control applications needing firm-error immunity from high-energy neutrons

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the package type, temperature grade, and packaging format. Ensure compatibility with the required core voltage range and check for any recent product change notifications regarding manufacturing or logistics updates before placing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this device for designs requiring nonvolatile reprogrammability with minimal footprint. Consider the 196-pin CSBGA package for high-density I/O requirements. Verify that the 36 kbits of SRAM meets the memory needs, as higher densities in the family offer more resources but may require different packages.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO V2 family of low-power flash FPGAs. It shares architectural similarities with other AGL250 variants but differs in package and temperature rating. The family is designed to replace ASICs in consumer and industrial markets by offering design flexibility and lower total cost of ownership.

Replacement Considerations

Check for pin-compatible alternatives within the same package size if migration is needed. Verify that substitute devices maintain the required Flash*Freeze functionality and security features. Ensure the replacement supports the same voltage levels and operating temperature range.
