AGL250V2-CSG196

Overview

The AGL250V2-CSG196 is a Microchip IGLOOe flash FPGA featuring 250,000 system gates and 6,144 VersaTiles. It includes 36 kbits of embedded SRAM and operates within a core voltage range of 1.14 V to 1.575 V. The device utilizes a 196-pin CSBGA package with 143 user I/Os. It supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +100°C junction temperature. Key capabilities include Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power retention and AES-protected in-system programming.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based nonvolatile architecture providing instant-on functionality without external configuration memory
• Flash*Freeze technology enabling ultra-low power consumption while retaining design data and register states
• Integrated AES decryption engine supporting secure in-system programming via JTAG
• Versatile I/O structure supporting mixed-voltage operation across multiple banks

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static and dynamic power consumption
• Systems needing secure remote field updates and intellectual property protection
• Applications replacing CPLDs or ASICs during prototyping and low-volume production

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 operational environment and interface standards. Cross-reference part numbers with current datasheets to account for potential manufacturing changes or obsolescence notices.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designs require 250,000 system gates with a compact 196-pin footprint. Consider the AGL250V2 series for applications demanding low-power active modes and instant-on capabilities. Verify that the 143 available I/Os meet interface requirements and that the 1.2V to 1.5V core voltage aligns with system power rails.

Part Context

This device belongs to the IGLOO family of low-power flash FPGAs manufactured by Microchip Technology. The IGLOO series is characterized by its 130-nm process technology and nonvolatile configuration storage. It serves as a bridge between standard logic devices and high-density programmable solutions, offering reprogrammability at an ASIC-level unit cost.

Replacement Considerations

Check for pin-compatible alternatives within the same IGLOO family, such as the AGL250V5-CSG196, noting differences in marking and feature sets. Verify compatibility with existing design tools and ensure that any substitute maintains the required gate count and I/O specifications.
