AGL250V5-CSG196

Overview

The AGL250V5-CSG196 is a Microchip IGLOO flash FPGA utilizing a 130-nm process. It provides 250,000 system gates and 6,144 VersaTiles. The device includes 36 kbits of true dual-port SRAM and 1 kbit of FlashROM. Operating voltage ranges from 1.425V to 1.575V. It features 143 user I/Os in a 196-pin CSBGA package. Key capabilities include Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power retention (5 µW typical), AES-protected ISP via JTAG, and support for mixed-voltage I/O standards up to 700 Mbps DDR.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables rapid entry into an ultra-low power mode that retains all SRAM and register data without requiring external components.
• Integrated 128-bit AES decryption engine supports secure in-system programming and protects intellectual property against unauthorized access.
• Nonvolatile flash architecture eliminates the need for external configuration boot PROMs, providing instant-on functionality and immunity to firm errors.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static power consumption and instant-on capability
• Secure remote field updates using AES-encrypted in-system programming
• System control logic managing power states via Flash*Freeze technology

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'V5' confirms the 1.5V-only supply voltage requirement, as opposed to the wider voltage range supported by other variants. Confirm the 'I' suffix indicates the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C junction). Ensure the CSG196 package designation matches the required footprint dimensions and pitch specifications for the target PCB layout.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-chip flash FPGA solution with integrated security is required. The V5 variant is appropriate for systems strictly operating at 1.5V core voltage. Consider the 196-pin CSP package for high pin-count density in small footprints. Verify that the 250,000 gate count and 36 kbit RAM resources meet the design complexity requirements compared to lower-density options like the AGL125 or higher-density options like the AGL400.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IGLOO family of low-power flash FPGAs manufactured by Microchip Technology. It shares architectural features such as VersaTiles and Flash*Freeze with other devices in the series, including the AGL250V2. The primary distinction lies in the supply voltage specification and the specific package type, differentiating it from broader voltage range variants or alternative package offerings within the same logic density class.

Replacement Considerations

AGL250V2-CSG196I: Offers a wider core voltage range (1.2V to 1.5V) compared to the V5 variant's 1.5V-only operation. Pin-compatible within the CS196 package family.
