M2GL050-1FGG484I

The M2GL050-1FGG484I is an IGLOO2 flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology, offered in a 484-ball BGA package. It combines 56,340 logic elements with on-chip memory and a broad I/O set to address embedded processing, high-speed communication interfaces, and secure/low-power designs.

Targeted at industrial applications, this device provides a balance of integration, non-volatile configuration, and operational range—supporting designs that require substantial logic capacity, multi-standard I/O, and industrial temperature operation.

Key Features

• Core Logic  56,340 logic elements provide a sizeable programmable fabric for control, processing, and glue-logic implementations.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 1.87 Mbits of on-chip RAM (1,869,824 bits) to support buffering, state storage, and local data paths.
• I/O Capacity & Voltage  267 user I/Os with a supply range of 1.14 V to 2.625 V to support multiple signaling standards and flexible power domains.
• Family-Level Interfaces  IGLOO2 family capabilities include high-speed serial interfaces (PCIe, XAUI/XGXS), native SERDES, and DDR2/DDR3 memory controller support—enabling high-bandwidth communication and memory interfacing in system designs.
• DSP and Math Resources  IGLOO2 architecture includes mathblocks for DSP operations (documented at the family level) to accelerate signed/unsigned multiplication and accumulation tasks.
• Non-Volatile, Flash-Based Fabric  Flash-based configuration provides non-volatile programmability and persistence across power cycles (IGLOO2 family characteristic).
• Package & Mounting  484-BGA (484-FPBGA, 23×23) package, surface-mount mounting for compact board-level integration.
• Industrial Temperature Range  Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C, suitable for industrial environments.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-Speed Networking  Implement PHY and protocol interfaces leveraging the IGLOO2 family’s high-speed serial support and SERDES capabilities for Ethernet and PCIe endpoints.
• Memory-Intensive Embedded Systems  Act as a memory controller or buffering bridge using on-chip RAM and family-level DDRx controller support for DDR2/DDR3/LPDDR targets.
• DSP and Signal Processing  Accelerate math and filtering functions using the IGLOO2 mathblocks and local embedded memory for real-time processing tasks.
• Industrial Control and Data Acquisition  Serve as a central programmable logic device for sensor aggregation, protocol translation, and I/O management across a wide temperature range.

Unique Advantages

• Flash-Based Non-Volatile Configuration: Enables persistent device configuration without external configuration memory, simplifying BOM and boot sequences.
• Substantial Logic Density: 56,340 logic elements support complex control and processing functions within a single FPGA package.
• Generous I/O and Flexible Voltage: 267 I/Os with a wide supply range (1.14 V–2.625 V) allow integration with multiple peripheral voltage domains and signaling standards.
• Embedded Memory for Local Data Paths: Approximately 1.87 Mbits of on-chip RAM reduces external memory dependence for buffering and state retention.
• Industrial Operating Range: −40 °C to 100 °C rating supports deployment in industrial environments where extended temperature operation is required.
• Compact BGA Packaging: 484-FPBGA (23×23) delivers high I/O density in a compact surface-mount footprint for space-constrained boards.
