AGL250V2-VQ100

Overview

The AGL250V2-VQ100 is a flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array from the IGLOO family, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 250,000 system gates and 6,144 VersaTiles within a VQFP-100 package. The device operates on a core voltage ranging from 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 SRAM and 1 kbit of FlashROM. Key capabilities include Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power retention, Instant On functionality, and support for mixed-voltage I/O standards up to 700 Mbps DDR.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while retaining configuration data without external components.
• Instant On capability allows immediate system initialization upon power-up without requiring external boot PROMs.
• Integrated AES decryption engine provides secure in-system programming and intellectual property protection.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O banks with programmable slew rates and drive strengths.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static and dynamic power consumption
• Systems needing secure remote field updates via in-system programming
• Applications requiring immediate system initialization upon power restoration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Microchip documentation to confirm temperature grade and packaging compliance. Ensure that export control requirements are met if applicable. Confirm that the VQ100 package availability aligns with current production status. Check for any errata sheets relevant to the silicon revision before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when design requirements necessitate nonvolatile FPGA fabric with integrated security features. The AGL250V2 offers sufficient logic density for moderate complexity designs while maintaining low power profiles. Consider the VQ100 package constraints regarding pin count and thermal dissipation. Verify compatibility with existing ARM Cortex-M1 soft processor implementations if processing integration is required.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IGLOO family of flash FPGAs, which utilizes a 130-nm process technology. It shares architectural similarities with other AGL250 variants but is distinguished by its specific package type and temperature rating. The device represents a balance between logic capacity and power efficiency within the mid-range segment of the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package may exist among other AGL250 variants with different temperature grades. Cross-family migration to IGLOOe devices requires verification of feature parity and routing resource differences. Consult the IGLOO FPGA Fabric User Guide for detailed migration guidelines.
