AGL400V2-CSG196

Overview

The AGL400V2-CSG196 is a flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the IGLOO family, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 400,000 system gates and 9,216 VersaTiles within an 8x8 mm Chip Scale Package (CSG196). The device operates on a core voltage range of 1.14 V to 1.575 V and supports a maximum operating frequency of 250 MHz at 1.5 V. It includes 54 kbits of embedded SRAM and 1 kbit of FlashROM. The component provides 143 user I/Os, supports mixed-voltage operation up to 3.3 V, and offers AES-protected in-system programming.

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.
• Nonvolatile flash architecture ensures immunity to firm errors caused by high-energy neutrons.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static and dynamic power consumption
• Secure remote field updates over public networks
• System component initialization before processor wake-up

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type and temperature grade. Confirm availability status as distribution channels may list limited stock or end-of-life conditions for this specific part number.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 400,000 system gates and 143 I/Os are required in a compact CSP footprint. Ensure the design utilizes the 1.2V to 1.5V core voltage range for optimal power efficiency. Verify that the application benefits from nonvolatile configuration to eliminate external memory requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA family, which utilizes a 130-nm process. It serves as a reprogrammable alternative to ASICs, offering time-to-market benefits with single-chip security and low power characteristics suitable for consumer and industrial applications.

Replacement Considerations

Check the AGL250V2-CSG196 for lower gate counts or the AGL600V2-CSG196 for higher density within the same package. Verify pin compatibility and logic resource requirements before substituting.
