M1AGL250V5-VQG100

The M1AGL250V5-VQG100 is an IGLOO flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) device from Microchip Technology. It is an ARM-enabled M1 IGLOO device that supports implementation of the 32-bit Cortex‑M1 soft processor and is built on the IGLOO family architecture with Flash*Freeze low-power capabilities.

Designed for low-power, reprogrammable single-chip solutions, this device provides a balance of logic capacity, embedded memory, and mixed-voltage I/O in a compact 100‑TQFP surface-mount package, making it suitable for embedded control and system-power-management designs within commercial temperature ranges.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — Approximately 6,144 logic elements (cells) and an estimated 250,000 system gates provide mid-range programmable logic resources for control and interfacing tasks.
• Embedded Memory — 36,864 bits of on-chip RAM (true dual-port SRAM where applicable) to support buffering, small data tables, and processor local memory needs.
• ARM M1 Support — M1 IGLOO family support for the 32-bit Cortex‑M1 soft processor, enabling embedded-processor-based designs within the FPGA fabric.
• Low Power Modes — Flash*Freeze ultra-low power mode (as low as 5 μW) and Low Power Active (static idle) operation (from 12 μW) to minimize standby and active power consumption while retaining FPGA content.
• Reprogrammable Flash Technology — Flash-based, nonvolatile configuration that retains programmed design when powered off and supports instant-on behavior and in-system programming.
• Advanced I/O and Mixed-Voltage Support — 68 I/O pins with support for multiple I/O standards and bank-selectable voltages; advanced options in the IGLOO family include DDR and LVDS-capable I/Os for devices at this density level.
• Clocking — Integrated clock conditioning blocks with one block including a PLL for clock multiply/divide and phase-shift capabilities (series-level feature).
• Package and Mounting — 100‑TQFP surface-mount package (supplier device package: 100‑VQFP, 14×14 mm footprint) for compact board integration.
• Power and Temperature — Core voltage supply range 1.425 V to 1.575 V; commercial operating temperature range 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded control and soft-processor systems — Use the Cortex‑M1 soft processor implementation for compact embedded controllers and application-specific processing inside the FPGA.
• Low-power standby and instant-on products — Flash*Freeze and Low Power Active modes enable designs that require minimal standby power while preserving configuration and state.
• Mixed-voltage I/O interfacing — Mid-density I/O (68 pins) and mixed-voltage support allow interfacing with a variety of sensors, peripherals, and communication transceivers.
• System power-management and control — On-chip logic and low-power features let the device participate in system power sequencing, wake-up control, and peripheral scanning with minimal energy draw.

Unique Advantages

• Low standby and active power: Flash*Freeze and Low Power Active modes reduce system power budgets and simplify power-management strategies.
• Nonvolatile, reprogrammable configuration: Flash-based FPGA fabric preserves programmed designs without external configuration memory and supports in-system updates.
• Embedded soft-processor capability: ARM Cortex‑M1 support enables integrated processor-based functions without additional silicon.
• Compact package with ample I/O: 100‑TQFP package delivers a balance of footprint and 68 I/Os for mid-density board designs.
• Flexible clocking and I/O signaling: On-chip clock conditioning with PLL and family-level support for advanced I/O standards provide design flexibility for timing and interface needs.
• Commercial-grade availability: Commercial temperature rating and RoHS compliance support standard commercial product deployments.
