AGL400V5-FG484I

Overview

The AGL400V5-FG484I is a Field Programmable Gate Array from the IGLOO V5 family, manufactured by Microsemi. It features 400,000 system gates and 9,216 VersaTiles (D-flip-flops). The device includes 54 kbits of True Dual-Port SRAM organized into twelve 4,608-bit blocks and 1 kbit of FlashROM. It operates with a core voltage range of 1.2 V to 1.5 V and supports up to 194 user I/Os in the FG484 package. Performance reaches 250 MHz at 1.5 V and 160 MHz at 1.2 V. The industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C) is indicated by the 'I' suffix.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while retaining FPGA content without reloading configuration.
• Instant On capability allows immediate operation upon power-up without external boot PROMs.
• Integrated AES decryption engine provides secure In-System Programming via JTAG.
• Clock Conditioning Circuits include an integrated PLL for configurable phase shift and frequency multiplication.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static power and instant-on functionality
• Secure remote field updates using AES-protected ISP
• Systems needing nonvolatile logic without external configuration memory

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 tool version supports the IGLOO V5 architecture and that the required IP licenses are included if cryptographic features are utilized.

Selection Notes

Select this device for designs requiring 400K gates with industrial temperature ratings. Compare against lower-density models like AGL250 or higher-density AGL600 based on resource utilization. Confirm that the FG484 package footprint matches the PCB layout requirements and that the 1.2V to 1.5V core voltage range aligns with the system power supply design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA family, which utilizes a 130-nm flash-based CMOS process. The V5 designation indicates a specific generation within the IGLOO lineup, offering enhanced security and power management features compared to earlier versions. It serves as a single-chip solution replacing ASICs or SRAM-based FPGAs with external configuration devices.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package may include other AGL400 variants with different temperature grades or voltage ranges, such as AGL400V5-CS144 for smaller form factors, though gate counts and I/O availability will differ. Check for newer generations if available.
