AGL400V2-FGG256

The AGL400V2-FGG256 is a Microchip IGLOO family flash FPGA offered in a 256‑pin LBGA package. It provides a mid-density, low-power FPGA fabric with 9,216 logic elements, approximately 55 kbits of embedded RAM, and approximately 400,000 system gates for control, glue-logic, and I/O-centric designs.

Designed for commercial applications, the device emphasizes low-power operation and reprogrammable nonvolatile storage, making it suitable for compact, power-conscious embedded systems that require instant-on behavior and flexible in-system programming.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 9,216 logic elements (logic cells) and approximately 400,000 system gates provide mid-range logic resources for control and processing tasks.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 55 kbits of total on-chip RAM to support buffering, small data tables, and state storage.
• I/O Density — 178 user I/Os to support multiple peripherals, interfaces, and board-level interconnects.
• Low Power Technology — IGLOO family Flash*Freeze technology enables ultra-low power retention modes (as little as 5 μW) and Low Power Active operation (from 12 μW), simplifying system power management.
• Nonvolatile Flash — Reprogrammable flash-based configuration that retains the programmed design when powered off and supports instant-on operation.
• Voltage and Temperature — Core/I/O supply support from 1.14 V to 1.575 V and a commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Package and Mounting — 256-LBGA (supplier package 256-FPBGA, 17×17) in a surface-mount form factor for compact board designs.
• Security and In-System Programming — IGLOO family supports in-system programming and security features such as on-chip AES decryption and FlashLock (as documented for the IGLOO series).
• Clock Conditioning — Family-level clock conditioning circuitry with CCC blocks and integrated PLL capabilities to support configurable clocking strategies.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant and specified as commercial grade.

Typical Applications

• Low-Power Embedded Control — Ideal for battery-powered and always-on devices that require logic processing while minimizing standby power through Flash*Freeze and Low Power Active modes.
• Interface and Glue Logic — Use as a compact glue-logic solution for bridging peripherals, aggregating I/Os, and implementing custom interface protocols with 178 available I/Os.
• Instant-On Systems — Systems that benefit from nonvolatile reprogrammable configuration and instant-on behavior, where retaining configuration without power is required.
• Secure In-System Updates — Applications requiring in-system programming with AES-based decryption and FlashLock-style content protection provided by the IGLOO family features.

Unique Advantages

• Low Standby Power: Flash*Freeze mode can reduce retention power to as little as 5 μW, enabling aggressive system-level power savings.
• Reprogrammable Nonvolatile Storage: Flash-based configuration retains programmed logic when power is removed, simplifying system bring-up and reducing external configuration memory needs.
• Mid-Density Integration: 9,216 logic elements and approximately 55 kbits of RAM provide a compact balance of logic and memory for embedded control and interface tasks.
• High I/O Count in Small Package: 178 user I/Os in a 256-LBGA package support dense connectivity while maintaining a small board footprint.
• Commercial Temperature and Surface-Mount Packaging: Specified for 0 °C to 70 °C and supplied in a surface-mount 256-FPBGA (17×17) package for mainstream consumer and industrial electronics.
• Series-Level Clocking and Security: IGLOO family features include clock conditioning circuitry with PLL options and on-chip security mechanisms to support disciplined timing and protected updates.
