AGL400V5-FG144

Overview

The Microsemi AGL400V5-FG144 is a 400,000 system gate Flash FPGA in an FG144 package. It operates on a 130-nm process with core voltage support of 1.2 V to 1.5 V. The device features 9,216 VersaTiles and 54 kbits of SRAM organized into twelve 4,608-bit blocks. It includes one integrated PLL within its Clock Conditioning Circuits and supports AES-protected In-System Programming. Maximum system performance reaches 250 MHz at 1.5 V and 160 MHz at 1.2 V. The unit offers up to 72 single-ended user I/Os and 5 differential I/O pairs.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while retaining FPGA content without reloading configuration.
• Integrated 128-bit AES decryption engine secures in-system programming and intellectual property.
• Nonvolatile flash architecture provides instant-on capability and immunity to firm errors from high-energy neutrons.
• VersaTile fabric allows flexible configuration as logic functions or sequential elements with dedicated routing resources.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static and dynamic power management
• Secure remote field updates using encrypted ISP
• Systems needing instant-on initialization without external boot PROMs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm temperature grade and packaging compliance. Ensure the design flow supports the 130-nm IGLOO architecture. Confirm that the selected package variant matches the required pin count and thermal specifications for the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this device when 400K system gates and 54 kbits of RAM are sufficient for the design. Consider the FG144 package if space constraints require a 144-ball BGA footprint. Verify that the 1.2 V to 1.5 V core voltage range aligns with the system power supply rails. Check if the integrated PLL meets clock conditioning requirements before choosing higher-density alternatives.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA family, which utilizes nonvolatile flash technology for instant-on operation. The AGL400 variant sits between the AGL250 and AGL600 in terms of logic capacity. It shares architectural features like VersaTiles and Flash*Freeze with other devices in the series but differs in gate count and memory resources.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include the AGL400V2-FG144. For increased capacity, consider the AGL600 series, though package compatibility must be verified. Lower density options like the AGL250 may fit if resource usage is minimal.
