AGL250V5-VQG100

Overview

The AGL250V5-VQG100 is a flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the IGLOO family, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It utilizes a 130-nm process and operates within a core voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V. The device provides 250,000 system gates, equivalent to 3,000 logic elements, and includes 36,864 bits of embedded SRAM. It features 68 user I/Os in a VQFP-100 package. Operating temperatures extend from -40°C to +85°C. Maximum system performance reaches 892.86 MHz at 1.5V.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while retaining configuration data without external components.
• Instant On capability allows immediate operation upon power-up without requiring an external boot PROM.
• Integrated AES decryption engine supports secure In-System Programming via JTAG.
• Nonvolatile flash architecture ensures immunity to firm errors caused by high-energy neutrons.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static and dynamic power consumption
• Systems needing secure remote field updates with IP protection
• Applications eliminating the need for CPLDs or separate clock generation PLLs

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Microchip channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated on official documentation. Check for specific engineering samples or pre-production variants if standard production units are unavailable. Ensure storage conditions respect moisture sensitivity levels prior to soldering.

Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring nonvolatile reprogrammability with minimal footprint. Compare against M1AGL250 variants if ARM Cortex-M1 processing integration is required. Verify that the VQFP-100 package dimensions fit the target PCB layout constraints. Ensure the 1.5V-only supply requirement aligns with system power rails.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA family. It shares architectural similarities with other AGL250 devices but differs in package type and temperature grade. The 'V5' suffix indicates specific manufacturing revisions within the IGLOO series. It serves as a cost-effective alternative to ASICs for medium-density logic applications.

Replacement Considerations

M1AGL250V5-VQG100I offers identical logic resources but includes an ARM Cortex-M1 processor. Standard commercial grade parts may be available if industrial temperature ranges are not strictly required. Package pinouts remain consistent across the IGLOO family for migration purposes.
