AGL400V5-CSG196

Overview

The AGL400V5-CSG196 is a commercial-grade, low-power flash FPGA from the IGLOO family. It features 400,000 system gates and 9,216 VersaTiles within an 8x8 mm CS196 package. The device operates on a core voltage of 1.5V only and supports up to 143 user I/Os. It includes 54 kbits of true dual-port SRAM and 1 kbit of FlashROM. Key specifications include a maximum operating frequency of 250 MHz at 1.5V, support for mixed-voltage I/O standards (1.2V to 3.3V), and integrated clock conditioning circuits with PLL capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while retaining design data without external components.
• Instant On capability eliminates the need for external configuration PROMs or boot devices.
• Integrated AES-128 decryption engine provides secure in-system programming and intellectual property protection.
• Versatile I/O structure supports mixed-voltage operation across multiple banks with programmable slew rates.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring instant-on functionality and minimal active power.
• Secure remote field updates utilizing AES-protected in-system programming.
• Complex logic replacement for CPLDs in space-constrained designs.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'V5' confirms the 1.5V-only voltage grade, as other variants may support wider ranges. Confirm the 'CSG' suffix indicates lead-free packaging compliance. Ensure the component status is checked against current production notices, as availability may vary by region. Cross-reference the datasheet revision DS60001805A for any recent errata affecting pin assignments or electrical characteristics.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 400,000 system gates are required within a compact 196-pin CSP footprint. The V5 designation restricts operation to 1.5V; choose alternative suffixes if 1.2V core voltage support is necessary for lower power budgets. Verify that the 143 available user I/Os meet interface requirements, noting that differential pairs reduce single-ended count. Ensure the industrial temperature range variant is selected if operation below 0°C is required.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Microchip IGLOO low-power flash FPGA family, which utilizes a 130-nm process. It serves as a bridge between standard CPLDs and high-density FPGAs, offering nonvolatile reprogrammability. The CS196 package is shared across several densities in the family, allowing for potential pin-compatible upgrades or downgrades depending on logic resource needs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include the AGL250V5-CSG196 (lower density) and AGL600V5-CSG196 (higher density). Verify logic utilization and I/O counts before migrating. ARM-enabled equivalents like M1AGL400 do not exist; consider M1AGL600 for processor integration but note package differences.
