AGL250V2-FGG144T

Overview

The AGL250V2-FGG144T 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 into eight 4,608-bit blocks and 1 kbit of FlashROM user nonvolatile memory. It operates with a core voltage range of 1.2 V to 1.5 V and supports up to 143 user I/Os in an FG144 package. The maximum operating frequency is 250 MHz at 1.5 V and 160 MHz at 1.2 V. It offers commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while retaining FPGA content and allowing rapid recovery to active mode.
• Instant On capability provides Level 0 support, eliminating the need for external boot PROMs or configuration components.
• Integrated security features include AES-128 decryption for secure In-System Programming and FlashLock protection for intellectual property.
• Advanced I/O structure supports mixed-voltage operation across multiple banks with configurable drive strength and slew rates.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static and dynamic power consumption
• Systems needing instant-on functionality without external configuration memory
• Applications requiring secure remote field updates via encrypted ISP
• Industrial and consumer control logic replacing ASICs or CPLDs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'T' against official Microsemi documentation to confirm packaging details, as standard datasheets may not explicitly define this suffix's impact on function or material composition. Ensure compatibility with design tools supporting the IGLOO V2 architecture and verify that the FG144 package dimensions meet PCB layout requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this device for designs requiring approximately 250K system gates with integrated nonvolatile memory and low-power standby modes. Consider the 1.2 V to 1.5 V core voltage flexibility for power optimization. Verify that the 143 available user I/Os and 36 kbits of SRAM meet the system interface and data buffering needs. Check if the commercial temperature range is sufficient for the target environment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA family, which utilizes a 130-nm flash process. The AGL250 variant sits between the AGL125 and AGL400 devices in terms of logic capacity. It is part of the second generation (V2) of the IGLOO series, offering improved power efficiency and broader voltage support compared to earlier versions.

Replacement Considerations

Pin-compatible alternatives within the IGLOO family include AGL125 and AGL400 devices in the same package, subject to resource availability. Cross-family migration to IGLOOe or SmartFusion2 requires architectural review. No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed in the provided source material.
