AGL250V2-CS196

The AGL250V2-CS196 is an IGLOO family flash-based FPGA from Microchip Technology designed for low-power, single-chip system designs. It combines reprogrammable nonvolatile Flash, a mid-range FPGA fabric of 6,144 logic elements, and 36,864 bits of on-chip RAM to address embedded and power-sensitive applications that require instant-on behavior and compact packaging.

With 143 user I/Os, mixed-voltage I/O capability and a 196‑TFBGA surface-mount package, this device suits compact designs that need flexible I/O, retained configuration, and low active/standby power modes.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 6,144 logic elements (cells) providing approximately 250,000 system gates for mid-density logic integration.
• Embedded Memory — 36,864 bits of on-chip RAM for local buffering, state retention and small data storage requirements.
• I/O Count & Flexibility — 143 user I/Os supporting mixed-voltage operation and advanced I/O standards (device family supports DDR and LVDS-capable I/Os at AGL250 and above).
• Low-Power Flash Technology — Flash-based nonvolatile configuration with Flash*Freeze ultra-low-power retention modes (series-level feature), enabling instant-on and retained design data while consuming microwatts in standby.
• Voltage Supply — Core supply range specified at 1.14 V to 1.575 V for low-voltage system designs.
• Package & Mounting — 196‑TFBGA (CSBGA) surface-mount package in a 196‑CSP (8×8) supplier device package for space-efficient PCB layouts.
• Operating Grade — Commercial grade with an ambient operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Battery-Powered and Portable Devices — Low-power Flash*Freeze retention and low active power make the AGL250V2-CS196 suitable for designs that must minimize standby consumption while remaining responsive.
• Embedded Control and Interface Logic — 6,144 logic elements and 143 I/Os provide the resources to implement control engines, protocol bridging, and interface glue in compact systems.
• Mixed-Voltage I/O Systems — Support for multiple I/O voltage banks enables integration between 1.2 V core logic and a variety of external voltage domains for sensor and peripheral interfacing.
• Instant-On Systems — Flash-based nonvolatile configuration delivers immediate availability of the programmed design on power-up for systems requiring fast boot or immediate responsiveness.

Unique Advantages

• Reprogrammable Nonvolatile Configuration: Flash-based configuration retains the programmed design when powered off, enabling instant-on operation and in-system reprogramming.
• Low-Power Operation: Flash*Freeze and low-power active modes (series-level features) provide ultra-low standby power and low-voltage core operation to extend battery life and reduce system power budgets.
• Balanced Capacity: A fabric of 6,144 logic elements with 36,864 bits of SRAM supports mid-density logic and local memory without external components.
• High I/O Count in a Compact Package: 143 user I/Os in a 196‑TFBGA package allow dense external connectivity while keeping board area small.
• Commercial Temperature and Compliance: Commercial operating range (0 °C to 70 °C) and RoHS compliance support standard embedded and consumer product development workflows.
