AGL250V2-FGG144

Overview

The AGL250V2-FGG144 is a flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the IGLOO family, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 250,000 system gates and 6,144 VersaTiles within a 144-pin Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (FGG144) package. The device operates with a core voltage range of 1.14 V to 1.575 V and supports an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It includes 36 kbits of embedded true dual-port SRAM and utilizes Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power consumption.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power mode retention while maintaining FPGA content
• Instant On capability eliminates the need for external configuration boot PROMs
• Integrated AES decryption engine provides secure in-system programming capabilities
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVDS and DDR up to 700 Mbps

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static and dynamic power consumption
• Secure remote field updates utilizing AES-protected in-system programming
• System initialization tasks performed before main processor wake-up
• Applications requiring firm-error immunity against high-energy neutrons

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the package type and temperature grade. Ensure the design tool license matches the required IP implementation. Confirm RoHS compliance status if halogen-free packaging is mandated for the assembly process. Check for any pending product change notifications regarding the manufacturing site or material composition.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 250,000 system gates are sufficient for the logic density requirements. Verify that the 144-pin FBGA footprint fits the board layout constraints. Consider the 36 kbit SRAM capacity for data buffering needs. Ensure the design flow supports the 130-nm flash process architecture and utilizes the appropriate clock conditioning circuits.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA family, which is based on a 130-nm CMOS process. It serves as a nonvolatile programmable logic solution designed to replace ASICs in mid-volume applications. The device offers reprogrammability similar to SRAM FPGAs but retains configuration without external memory.

Replacement Considerations

The M1AGL250 series devices offer architectural compatibility with integrated ARM Cortex-M1 processors. Standard AGL250 variants may differ in temperature grades or package availability. Verify pinout compatibility when migrating between different package options within the same gate count family.
