AGL250V5-FG144I

The AGL250V5-FG144I is an IGLOO family flash-based FPGA from Microchip Technology, delivering reprogrammable logic in a low-power, industrial-grade package. Built on the IGLOO architecture, this device combines 6,144 logic elements and approximately 36.9 kbits of embedded RAM with 97 user I/Os to support compact, power-sensitive embedded and industrial designs.

This device targets applications that require single-chip reconfigurability, deterministic control, and long-term reliability in a surface-mount 144-LBGA package, while operating across an industrial temperature range and a defined core-voltage window.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 6,144 logic elements and approximately 250,000 system gates provide a mid-range fabric density suitable for control, interface, and signal-processing functions.
• Embedded Memory — 36,864 total RAM bits (approximately 36.9 kbits) of on-chip SRAM for fast local storage and buffering.
• I/O — 97 user I/Os; device-level support in the IGLOO family includes high-speed DDR and LVDS-capable I/Os for AGL250 and above, and bank-selectable mixed-voltage operation as described in the datasheet.
• Low-Power Operation — IGLOO family features such as Flash*Freeze and Low Power Active modes are documented in the datasheet, enabling ultra-low standby power (µW-class) while retaining configuration and state.
• Nonvolatile Flash Technology — Flash-based reprogrammable architecture provides instant-on behavior and retains programmed design when powered off, simplifying system power sequencing.
• Clocking and Timing — The IGLOO family includes clock conditioning circuitry and PLL support; the family datasheet describes configurable phase shift, multiply/divide and delay capabilities.
• Security and In-System Programming — Family-level support for in-system programming (ISP) with on-chip AES decryption and FlashLock for content protection is described in the datasheet.
• Package and Mounting — 144-LBGA (supplier package 144-FPBGA 13×13) surface-mount package for compact board integration.
• Operating Range — Core supply: 1.425 V to 1.575 V; operating temperature: −40 °C to 85 °C, suitable for industrial environments.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Control logic, deterministic I/O handling and local processing in factory automation and instrumentation, leveraging the industrial temperature rating and compact LBGA package.
• Embedded System Interfaces — Mixed-voltage, bank-selectable I/Os and LVDS/DDR-capable interfaces enable protocol bridging, sensor aggregation, and high-speed data paths.
• Communications and Data Handling — Mid-density logic and on-chip SRAM support packet buffering, SERDES-adjacent interfaces, and protocol-specific preprocessing.
• Power-Sensitive Designs — Low-power Flash*Freeze and static idle modes allow the FPGA to maintain configuration and selective system control while consuming micro-watt class power.

Unique Advantages

• Reprogrammable Flash-Based Design — Retains programmed logic when powered off and enables field updates without external configuration memory.
• Ultra-Low Power Modes — Family-level Flash*Freeze and low-power active capabilities reduce standby power draw while preserving state, beneficial for energy-conscious systems.
• Mixed-Voltage I/O Flexibility — Bank-selectable I/O voltages and documented support for a range of signaling standards simplify integration with varied peripheral voltages.
• Industrial Temperature Rating — Specified operation from −40 °C to 85 °C supports deployment in demanding environments.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package — 144-LBGA (13×13 FPBGA) allows dense PCB routing and efficient board-level real estate usage.
• Integrated System-Level Features — On-chip SRAM, clock-conditioning blocks and PLLs, plus ISP/security options described in the datasheet, reduce external component count.
