M2GL005-VF400

The M2GL005-VF400 is a commercial-grade IGLOO2 field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology. It uses IGLOO2's fourth-generation flash-based FPGA fabric and on-chip memory to deliver a reconfigurable logic solution suited to embedded and communications-oriented designs.

This device targets applications that require moderate logic density with extensive I/O and embedded memory, delivered in a compact 400-ball LFBGA package. Key value comes from its flash-based architecture, multi-standard I/O support, and integrated family-level capabilities for high-speed interfaces and security.

Key Features

• Fabric and Architecture  IGLOO2 fourth-generation flash-based FPGA fabric with 4-input LUT architecture and carry chains, designed to support reconfigurable logic implementations.
• Logic Density  6060 logic elements for implementing control, glue logic, and moderate-sized programmable functions.
• Embedded Memory  Total on-chip RAM of 719,872 bits (approximately 0.72 Mbits) for data buffering and state storage; IGLOO2 family includes additional embedded SRAM and nonvolatile memory options at the family level.
• I/O and Signaling  169 user I/Os with multi-standard support per the IGLOO2 family, enabling a broad range of single-ended and differential interfaces and DDR I/O standards.
• High-Speed Interface Capabilities (family-level)  IGLOO2 family-level features include support for high-speed SERDES lanes, PCI Express endpoints, and XAUI/XGMII interfaces when implemented in a design.
• Security Features (family-level)  IGLOO2 family includes design security features such as encrypted bitstream loading, device certificates, anti-tamper and zeroization options; premium family devices provide additional cryptographic services and PUF support.
• Power and Supply  Wide operating supply range from 1.14 V to 2.625 V to accommodate varying core and I/O rail configurations.
• Package and Mounting  400-LFBGA package, supplier device package 400-VFBGA (17×17 mm); surface-mount mounting for compact board-level integration.
• Commercial Temperature Grade  Rated for operating temperatures from 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-speed communications modules  Implement protocol bridging, SERDES-based PHY functions, and packet processing leveraging IGLOO2 family high-speed interface capabilities.
• Embedded control and glue logic  Replace multiple discrete components with programmable logic for control, sequencing, and peripheral interfacing using 6060 logic elements and 169 I/Os.
• Memory interface and buffering  Use the device's embedded RAM (approximately 0.72 Mbits) for frame buffering, packet queues, and temporary data storage in systems with external DDR memory controllers at the family level.
• DSP and signal-processing helpers  Offload math and fixed-function processing to fabric and family-level DSP resources for applications requiring arithmetic acceleration.

Unique Advantages

• Flash-based FPGA fabric: Nonvolatile IGLOO2 architecture enables retained configuration without external configuration memory.
• Balanced logic and memory: 6060 logic elements paired with approximately 0.72 Mbits of on-chip RAM provide a compact platform for control and data buffering tasks.
• Flexible I/O support: 169 user I/Os and multi-standard signaling options support diverse single-ended and differential interface needs on a single device.
• Compact, manufacturable package: 400-LFBGA (supplier 400-VFBGA, 17×17 mm) surface-mount package enables dense board integration while maintaining a high pin count.
• Wide supply range: 1.14 V to 2.625 V supply flexibility helps accommodate different core and I/O voltage architectures.
• Security and system assurance (family features): IGLOO2 family security options such as encrypted bitstreams and device certificates help protect intellectual property and enable trusted deployment models.
