AGL400V2-FGG484

Overview

The AGL400V2-FGG484 is a low-power flash FPGA from the Microsemi IGLOO family, featuring 400,000 system gates and 9,216 VersaTiles. It operates on a 130-nm process with a core voltage range of 1.2 V to 1.5 V. The device supports up to 194 single-ended user I/Os and includes 54 kbits of true dual-port SRAM organized into twelve 4,608-bit blocks. It offers Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power consumption while retaining configuration data.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based nonvolatile architecture providing instant-on capability without external boot PROMs
• Flash*Freeze technology enabling ultra-low power retention mode with rapid recovery
• Integrated AES decryption engine supporting secure in-system programming
• Bank-selectable I/O voltages allowing mixed-voltage operation across multiple banks

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring minimal active and standby power consumption
• Secure remote field updates utilizing built-in encryption capabilities
• Systems needing instant-on initialization before main processor wake-up
• Applications replacing CPLDs or clock generation PLLs to reduce bill-of-materials cost

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type, temperature grade, and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the design flow tools support the IGLOO V2 architecture features and licensing requirements for any embedded IP cores prior to final procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of moderate logic density and ultra-low power is required. The V2 variant specifically supports a wider core voltage range compared to older versions, offering additional power optimization opportunities. Verify that the FG484 package dimensions fit the target PCB footprint constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA family, which utilizes a 130-nm CMOS process. The family ranges from 15,000 to 1,000,000 system gates. The AGL400 represents a mid-range density option within this series, positioned between the AGL250 and AGL600 devices in terms of logic capacity and I/O availability.

Replacement Considerations

Check for pin-compatible alternatives within the same IGLOO family, such as the AGL250 or AGL600, depending on whether lower gate counts or higher I/O resources are needed. Ensure that any replacement maintains the required Flash*Freeze functionality and security features.
