AGL250V2-FGG144I

Overview

The AGL250V2-FGG144I is a Microchip Technology IGLOO FPGA utilizing a 130-nm flash process. It provides 250,000 system gates and 6,144 VersaTiles within a 144-pin Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (FGG144) package. The device supports a core voltage range of 1.2 V to 1.5 V and operates across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It features 97 user I/Os, 36 kbits of embedded SRAM, and 1 kbit of FlashROM. Key capabilities include Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power retention, Instant On functionality, and AES-protected in-system programming.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based nonvolatile architecture eliminates the need for external configuration boot PROMs.
• Flash*Freeze technology enables rapid entry into ultra-low power modes while retaining design data.
• Integrated security mechanisms including FlashLock and AES decryption protect intellectual property.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards with bank-selectable voltage levels.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static and dynamic power consumption
• Secure remote field updates via in-system programming
• Instant On applications needing immediate system initialization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm temperature grade and packaging compliance. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required junction temperature range and lead-free specifications for the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-chip solution with nonvolatile configuration and reprogrammability is required. Consider the 250,000 gate capacity and 97 I/O count for moderate complexity logic designs. Verify compatibility with existing design tools and ensure the FG144 package dimensions fit the board layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IGLOO family of low-power flash FPGAs. It shares architectural similarities with other AGL250 variants but differs in package type and temperature rating. The 'V2' designation indicates support for a wide core voltage range, distinguishing it from fixed-voltage versions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package exist among other AGL250 series devices. Verify logic density and I/O availability when substituting with higher or lower density parts in the IGLOO family.
