AGL250V2-CS196I

Overview

The AGL250V2-CS196I is an IGLOO V2 flash FPGA manufactured by Microchip Technology, utilizing a 130-nm process. It provides 250,000 system gates and 6,144 VersaTiles within a 196-pin CSBGA package. The device supports a core voltage range of 1.14V to 1.575V and operates across the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Key specifications include 36,864 bits of embedded SRAM, 1 kbit of FlashROM, and 143 user I/Os. It features Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power retention and supports AES-protected in-system programming.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables rapid entry into and exit from an ultra-low power mode that retains SRAM and register data without requiring 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 security features include FlashLock protection and a built-in 128-bit AES decryption engine for secure in-system programming via JTAG.
• Advanced I/O structure supports mixed-voltage operation (1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V) with bank-selectable voltages and hot-swappable capabilities.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static power consumption and instant-on functionality
• Secure remote field updates and intellectual property protection applications
• System component initialization and critical task execution before processor wake-up

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type, temperature grade, and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with existing design flows and tools. Check for any product change notifications regarding manufacturing or logistics updates prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this device for designs requiring 250,000 system gates with a compact 196-pin footprint. Consider the AGL250V2 series for its balance of logic density and low power consumption. Verify that the required I/O voltage levels and pin counts align with the 143 available user I/Os in the CS196 package configuration.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO V2 family of low-power flash FPGAs. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the AGL250 series but differs in package options and specific I/O configurations. The CS196 package offers a small form factor suitable for space-constrained applications while maintaining high pin count accessibility.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package may include other AGL250 variants if logic density requirements are met. Cross-family migration requires verification of routing resources and memory availability. Consult the IGLOO FPGA Fabric User Guide for detailed migration guidelines.
