AGL250V5-VQ100

Overview

The AGL250V5-VQ100 is a flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array from the IGLOO family, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It utilizes a 130-nm process and contains 250,000 system gates with 68 available user I/Os in a VQFP-100 package. The device operates at a core voltage of 1.5 V (range 1.425 V to 1.575 V) and supports a maximum frequency of 892.86 MHz. It features Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power retention and includes 36 kbits of SRAM alongside 1 kbit of nonvolatile FlashROM.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables rapid entry into an ultra-low power mode while retaining all configuration data and register states without external components.
• Nonvolatile flash architecture provides instant-on functionality, eliminating the need for external boot PROMs or configuration memory.
• Integrated security features include AES-128 decryption support and FlashLock protection against unauthorized access and intellectual property theft.
• Advanced I/O structure supports mixed-voltage operation across multiple banks, accommodating standards such as LVDS and LVCMOS.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static power consumption and immediate system initialization.
• Secure remote field updates utilizing in-system programming capabilities.
• Applications necessitating immunity to firm errors caused by high-energy neutrons.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm temperature grade and packaging compliance before procurement. Confirm availability status directly with authorized distributors, as supply levels may fluctuate. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required junction temperature range for the intended operational environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-chip solution with nonvolatile configuration is required to reduce bill-of-materials costs. Consider the AGL250V5 for designs needing moderate logic density with integrated security features. Evaluate the VQFP-100 package dimensions against board space constraints and verify I/O voltage requirements match the supported mixed-voltage standards.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IGLOO family of low-power flash FPGAs. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the series, such as the AGL125 and AGL400, but offers distinct gate counts and memory resources. The V5 suffix indicates a specific generation within the product line, ensuring compatibility with standard design tools and flows associated with the IGLOO platform.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package are limited by gate count and feature sets. Devices like the AGL125 offer lower capacity, while the AGL400 provides higher density. Verify functional equivalence regarding I/O configurations and memory sizes before substituting.
