Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm temperature grade and packaging compliance. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required junction temperature range for the target application environment. Cross-reference the part number with current availability status as manufacturing statuses may change over time.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 400,000 system gates are required alongside significant embedded memory resources. The FG256 package provides a balance between pin count and footprint size for dense designs. Consider the 1.2V to 1.5V core voltage support if minimizing dynamic power consumption is a primary design constraint compared to fixed voltage alternatives.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO V5 family of flash FPGAs manufactured by Microchip Technology. It represents an evolution in the IGLOO series, offering enhanced logic density and improved power efficiency compared to earlier generations. The device maintains architectural compatibility with other members of the IGLOO family while expanding available resources.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include the AGL250 and AGL600 variants. Designers migrating from lower-density devices should verify resource utilization limits. Upgrading to higher-density parts like the AGL1000 requires checking routing hierarchy and memory block availability.
