AGL600V2-FG256

Overview

The AGL600V2-FG256 is a flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array from the Microchip IGLOO family, utilizing a 130-nm process. It provides 600,000 system gates and 13,824 VersaTiles. The device features up to 108 kbits of true dual-port SRAM and 1 kbit of FlashROM. It supports core voltages between 1.2 V and 1.5 V, with an operating temperature range of 0°C to +85°C. The FG256 package offers 177 user I/Os in a 17 mm x 17 mm footprint.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power consumption while retaining design data without external components.
• Instant On capability eliminates the need for external configuration PROMs or boot devices.
• Integrated AES decryption engine and FlashLock provide secure in-system programming and intellectual property protection.
• Advanced I/O structure supports mixed-voltage operation across multiple standards including LVDS and LVTTL.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static and dynamic power consumption
• Secure remote field updates over public networks
• System initialization and critical task execution before processor wake-up

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm voltage support and temperature grade. Confirm that the required IP licenses are included if cryptographic functions are utilized. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts as packages within the family may be pin-compatible but require verification of electrical characteristics.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications needing nonvolatile FPGA logic with minimal power draw. The V2 suffix indicates support for a wide core voltage range (1.2 V to 1.5 V), which aids in power optimization compared to fixed-voltage variants. Verify that the 177 I/O count meets interface requirements and that the 108 kbit RAM suffices for buffering needs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO Low Power Flash FPGA family. It shares architectural similarities with other AGL600 variants but differs in voltage specifications and temperature ratings. It serves as a cost-effective alternative to ASICs for mid-density logic applications requiring reprogrammability and security.

Replacement Considerations

Check for pin-compatible alternatives within the same package type. Verify that any substitute maintains the required gate count and memory resources. Ensure the replacement supports the necessary I/O standards and voltage levels for the target application.
