AGL250V2-CSG196I

Overview

The AGL250V2-CSG196I is an IGLOO series flash FPGA manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 250,000 system gates and 6,144 logic elements within a 196-CSP package. The device supports a core voltage range of 1.14V to 1.575V and operates at temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. It includes 36,864 bits of embedded SRAM and 143 user I/Os. The architecture utilizes a 130-nm process with Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power retention.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while retaining SRAM and register data without external components.
• Nonvolatile flash configuration provides Instant On capability and eliminates the need for external boot PROMs.
• Integrated AES decryption engine supports secure in-system programming via JTAG.
• Versatile I/O structure supports mixed-voltage operation across multiple banks.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static power and instant-on functionality
• Secure remote field updates utilizing AES-protected in-system programming
• System initialization tasks executed before main processor wake-up

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm the 'CSG' suffix corresponds to the Chip Scale Package variant. Ensure the datasheet revision matches the design requirements. Check for any specific environmental compliance markings required by the target application.

Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring 250,000 system gates with a compact 196-pin footprint. Verify that the 1.14V to 1.575V supply range aligns with the system power rails. Consider the 143 available I/Os against interface requirements. Evaluate if the 36 kbit RAM meets buffering needs.

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 type and temperature rating. The CS196 package offers a small form factor suitable for space-constrained portable applications.

Replacement Considerations

AGL250V5-CSG196I is a documented alternative within the same package and density class. Verify pin compatibility and feature parity before substitution. Review product change notifications for any manufacturing or specification updates between revisions.
