M2GL050-1VF400I

The M2GL050-1VF400I is an IGLOO2 family FPGA from Microchip Technology, delivered in a 400-ball LFBGA package. It combines flash-based programmable logic with a broad set of system-level features from the IGLOO2 architecture to address industrial embedded designs requiring integration of logic, memory and high-speed interfaces.

This device is well suited for applications that demand mid-range logic capacity, multi-standard I/O support, and reliable operation across an industrial temperature range while operating from a low-voltage supply.

Key Features

• Core Logic  56,340 logic elements for implementing a wide range of digital functions and control logic.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 1.87 Mbits of embedded memory (1,869,824 total RAM bits) to support data buffering, state storage and on-chip working memory.
• DSP & Math  Leverages the IGLOO2 architecture’s DSP capabilities (mathblocks and optimized LUT fabric) to support signal processing and arithmetic-intensive tasks.
• High-Speed Interfaces  IGLOO2 family features include native SERDES, PCIe endpoint cores and XAUI/XGMII support to enable high-throughput serial communications when required by system designs.
• Memory Controllers  IGLOO2 architecture provides DDRx memory controller support for interfacing with external DDR2/DDR3/LPDDR memories (family-level capability).
• Multi-Standard I/Os  207 user I/Os supporting multiple standards (LVCMOS, LVDS variants, DDR I/Os and others as defined by the IGLOO2 architecture) to interface with a variety of peripherals and buses.
• Power and Voltage  Supports a nominal operating voltage range from 1.14 V to 2.625 V, allowing flexible system-level power schemes.
• Package & Mounting  400-LFBGA package (supplier device package: 400-VFBGA, 17×17 mm) optimized for surface-mount PCB assembly.
• Industrial Grade Reliability  Rated for operation from −40°C to 100°C and supplied as an industrial-grade device for demanding environments.
• Security & Nonvolatile Configuration  IGLOO2 family features flash-based FPGA fabric and enhanced security mechanisms (encrypted bitstreams and device-level security options) for protected designs.
• Standards Compliance  RoHS compliant to support environmentally regulated manufacturing processes.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Implement motor control, sensor aggregation and deterministic logic functions while meeting industrial temperature requirements and I/O flexibility.
• High-Speed Communications  Use the IGLOO2 serial interface capabilities (SERDES, PCIe, XAUI/XGMII) for packet processing, protocol bridging and edge networking functions.
• Memory Interface and Storage  Act as a bridge or controller with external DDRx memory via the family memory controller features, enabling buffering and high-speed data paths.
• Signal Processing & DSP  Leverage the architecture’s mathblocks and logic resources for filtering, accumulation and arithmetic-heavy embedded processing tasks.

Unique Advantages

• Flash-Based Nonvolatile Fabric: Enables instant-on configuration and retained device state without external configuration memory.
• Balanced Logic and Memory: 56,340 logic elements paired with approximately 1.87 Mbits of embedded RAM provide a balance for control logic and moderate data buffering on-chip.
• Broad I/O Flexibility: 207 multi-standard I/Os simplify interfacing to a wide range of peripherals and signaling standards, reducing external level-shifting complexity.
• Industrial Temperature Range: −40°C to 100°C rating supports deployment in industrial environments where extended temperature tolerance is required.
• Scalable IGLOO2 Ecosystem: Built on the IGLOO2 architecture, enabling reuse of family-level IP (memory controllers, SERDES, security features) across designs.
• Low-Voltage Operation: Wide supply range (1.14 V to 2.625 V) provides flexibility for integration into diverse power domains and low-voltage system architectures.
