AGL250V2-FG144T

Overview

The AGL250V2-FG144T is a flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array from the IGLOO V2 family, manufactured by Microsemi. It features 250,000 system gates and 6,144 VersaTiles (D-flip-flops). The device includes 36 kbits of embedded True Dual-Port SRAM organized in 8 blocks of 4,608 bits. It operates with a core voltage range of 1.2 V to 1.5 V and supports up to 143 user I/Os within an FG144 Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array package measuring 13 mm x 13 mm. The industrial temperature grade covers -40°C to +100°C junction temperature.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while retaining FPGA content without requiring external components.
• Instant On capability allows immediate system initialization upon power-up without external boot PROMs.
• Integrated AES decryption engine provides secure in-system programming and intellectual property protection.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O operation across multiple standards including LVDS-capable interfaces.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static and dynamic power management
• Secure remote field updates for critical infrastructure systems
• Industrial control applications needing firm-error immunity against neutron strikes

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' against official Microsemi documentation to confirm its exact definition regarding packaging or testing variations. Ensure the ordering code matches the required industrial temperature range and RoHS compliance status specified in the datasheet.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designs require nonvolatile configuration with instant-on capabilities and robust security features. Consider the 250,000 gate capacity and 143 available I/Os for medium-density logic applications. Verify that the FG144 package dimensions fit the target PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA family, which utilizes a 130-nm process. It serves as a cost-effective alternative to ASICs for high-volume consumer and industrial markets, offering reprogrammability and advanced security features integrated directly into the silicon fabric.

Replacement Considerations

Check for pin-compatible packages within the same density class such as CS196 or QN1326 if different form factors are needed. Higher density options like AGL400 or AGL600 may be considered if additional logic resources are required later.
