AGL400V5-FG484

Overview

The AGL400V5-FG484 is a Field Programmable Gate Array from the IGLOO family, manufactured by Microsemi Corporation. It features 400,000 system gates and 9,216 VersaTiles (D-flip-flops). The device includes 54 kbits of embedded RAM organized into twelve 4,608-bit blocks and supports up to 194 user I/Os in the FG484 package. It operates with a core voltage range of 1.2 V to 1.5 V and achieves system performance of 250 MHz at 1.5 V or 160 MHz at 1.2 V. The component utilizes a 130-nm flash process, offers Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power retention, and is housed in a 484-pin Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based nonvolatile architecture providing instant-on capability without external configuration memory
• Flash*Freeze technology enabling ultra-low power consumption while retaining SRAM and register data
• Integrated Clock Conditioning Circuits (CCC) with configurable phase shift and PLL capabilities
• Advanced security features including AES-128 decryption engine and FlashLock protection

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static power consumption
• Secure remote field updates via in-system programming
• System initialization and critical task execution before processor wake-up
• ASIC replacement solutions for consumer and networking markets

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm temperature grade and packaging compliance. The base model indicates commercial availability, but industrial variants exist. Ensure the selected part number matches the required junction temperature range and RoHS compliance status for your specific application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this device when high logic density is required alongside ultra-low power standby modes. The AGL400V5 provides sufficient resources for complex control logic and interface bridging. Consider the FG484 package constraints regarding pin count and board space compared to smaller footprint options within the same family.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA family, which bridges the gap between ASICs and SRAM-based FPGAs. It shares architectural similarities with other IGLOO devices like the AGL250 and AGL600 but offers a specific balance of gate count and I/O capacity suitable for mid-density applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include the AGL250 and AGL600, provided design resource utilization allows for migration to lower or higher density devices respectively.
