AGL250V2-FG144I

Overview

The Microchip Technology AGL250V2-FG144I is an IGLOOe series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) built on a 130-nm flash process. It provides 250,000 system gates and 6,144 VersaTiles. The device features 36 kbits of embedded true dual-port SRAM and supports up to 97 user I/Os in the FG144 package. Operating voltage ranges from 1.14 V to 1.575 V, with a specified operating range of 1.2 V to 1.5 V. It functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while retaining SRAM and register data without external components.
• Nonvolatile flash architecture ensures instant-on capability and immunity to firm errors caused by high-energy neutrons.
• Integrated Clock Conditioning Circuits (CCC) include one block with a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) for clock management.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O operation across multiple banks with standards including LVDS and DDR capabilities.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static and dynamic power consumption
• Systems needing secure, single-chip solutions without external boot PROMs
• Applications requiring Instant On functionality for critical task initialization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compliance with export regulations if applicable, as some devices may require documentation for international shipping. Confirm RoHS status and moisture sensitivity level prior to assembly planning.

Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring 250K system gates with industrial temperature coverage. Verify that the FG144 package footprint meets board space constraints. Check if ARM Cortex-M1 processor support is needed; if so, consider M1AGL variants instead, as this standard IGLOO device does not include the processor core.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOOe family of low-power flash FPGAs. It shares architectural similarities with other AGL250 devices but differs in package and temperature rating. It serves as a nonvolatile logic solution bridging the gap between CPLDs and high-density SRAM-based FPGAs.

Replacement Considerations

Check for pin-compatible alternatives within the AGL250 family such as AGL250V2-FCG144 or commercial grade variants. Ensure functional equivalence regarding I/O counts and memory resources when substituting.
