AGL400V5-FGG144I

Overview

The AGL400V5-FGG144I is a Field Programmable Gate Array from the IGLOO family, manufactured by Microsemi. It features 400,000 system gates and 9,216 VersaTiles (D-flip-flops). The device operates with a core voltage range of 1.2 V to 1.5 V and supports single-voltage system operation. It utilizes a 130-nm, 7-layer metal flash-based CMOS process. The maximum system performance is 250 MHz at 1.5 V and 160 MHz at 1.2 V. It includes up to 54 kbits of true dual-port SRAM and 1 kbit of FlashROM user nonvolatile memory. The package is FG144, a Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array with 144 pins, 1.0 mm pitch, measuring 13 x 13 mm. 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 requiring external components.
• Instant On Level 0 support allows immediate system initialization upon power-up without an external boot PROM.
• Integrated AES decryption engine provides secure in-system programming via JTAG.
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVCMOS, LVTTL, LVDS, and PCI/PCI-X.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static and dynamic power consumption
• Systems needing instant-on functionality and rapid recovery from low-power modes
• Secure remote field updates using AES-protected in-system programming
• Applications replacing CPLDs or clock generation PLLs due to integrated CCC and PLL capabilities

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffixes against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type, temperature range, and security features. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding the FBGA-144 footprint dimensions and pin assignments. Confirm that the design flow tools support the IGLOO V5 series architecture and Flash*Freeze configuration options.

Selection Notes

Select this device for designs requiring 400,000 system gates with industrial temperature ratings. Consider the AGL400V5 variant over older versions if lower power consumption via 1.2 V core voltage support is required. Verify that the available 9,216 VersaTiles and 54 kbits of SRAM meet the logic and memory requirements of the target application.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA family, which is characterized by its nonvolatile flash technology and low power consumption. The AGL400V5 represents a mid-range density within the family, offering a balance between logic capacity and power efficiency. It is designed for applications where size, power, and security are critical constraints.

Replacement Considerations

Check for pin-compatible packages across the IGLOO family such as CS196 or QN1326 if different form factors are needed. For higher density requirements, consider AGL600 or AGL1000 variants. Lower density alternatives include AGL250 or AGL125, though they offer fewer resources.
