AGL250V5-VQG100

The AGL250V5-VQG100 is an IGLOO family flash FPGA manufactured by Microchip Technology. It delivers a reprogrammable, single-chip FPGA solution in a 100-TQFP (100-VQFP, 14×14) package with 68 user I/Os and 6,144 logic elements for compact, low-power logic integration.

Designed for low-power systems, this IGLOO device leverages flash-based nonvolatile configuration and Flash*Freeze low-power modes to retain FPGA contents with minimal energy draw. Typical use cases include power-managed embedded control, mixed-voltage I/O interfacing, and applications that benefit from a small-footprint, reprogrammable logic device.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — Approximately 6,144 logic elements (listed as 6,144 logic cells) and about 250,000 gates provide on-chip programmable logic for glue logic, state machines, and custom interfaces.
• Embedded Memory — Total RAM of 36,864 bits (approximately 0.037 Mbits) for user data storage and buffering within the FPGA fabric.
• I/O and Mixed-Voltage Support — 68 user I/Os with bank-selectable voltages and series-level support for mixed-voltage operation across common interface levels; suitable for level translation and multi-domain systems.
• Low-Power Operation — Flash*Freeze ultra-low-power mode (series-level reference down to 5 μW) and Low Power Active capability (series-level reference from 12 μW) simplify system power management while retaining configuration and state.
• Nonvolatile Flash Configuration — Flash-based reprogrammable configuration retains design when powered off and enables instant-on behavior for quicker system startup.
• In-System Programming and Security (Series) — IGLOO family supports in-system programming (ISP) with on-chip 128-bit AES decryption via JTAG (series-level feature; exceptions apply for ARM-enabled variants as noted in family documentation).
• Clocking and Timing — Series clock conditioning circuitry (CCC) and integrated PLL capabilities support flexible clock management, phase shift and multiply/divide functions (series-level features).
• Package and Mounting — Surface-mount 100-TQFP package (supplier device package: 100-VQFP, 14×14) for compact PCB integration.
• Operating Range and Compliance — Voltage supply specified at 1.425 V to 1.575 V and commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C. RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Power-Managed Embedded Control — Use Flash*Freeze and Low Power Active modes to implement controllers that need ultra-low standby power while retaining configuration and state.
• User Interface Scanning and Input Handling — Compact logic fabric and low-power features are suited for tasks such as keyboard or button scanning that require periodic wake and low idle consumption.
• Mixed-Voltage Interface Bridging — With 68 I/Os and bank-selectable voltages, the device can consolidate multiple I/O domains and reduce external level-shifting components.
• Embedded Glue Logic and Protocol Conversion — On-chip logic elements and embedded RAM enable consolidation of glue logic, timing adaptation, and buffering in space-constrained designs.

Unique Advantages

• Low-power, nonvolatile operation: Flash-based configuration plus Flash*Freeze support minimizes standby energy while preserving FPGA contents without external storage.
• Compact, surface-mount package: 100-TQFP (14×14) package provides a small footprint for board-level integration where space is limited.
• Flexible I/O integration: 68 I/Os and mixed-voltage bank support reduce the need for external level shifters and simplify multi-voltage system design.
• Reprogrammable single-chip solution: On-chip flash allows in-system reprogramming and instant-on capability for iterative development and field updates.
• Commercial-grade operating range: Specified for 0 °C to 70 °C operation and RoHS compliant to meet standard commercial product requirements.
