M2GL050-FG896

The M2GL050-FG896 is a Microchip Technology IGLOO2 field programmable gate array (FPGA) in an 896-BGA package. It integrates flash-based programmable logic fabric and a comprehensive set of communications and memory interface capabilities from the IGLOO2 family.

Designed for applications that require a balance of logic density, on-chip memory and I/O capacity, the device delivers 56,340 logic elements, approximately 1.87 Mbits of embedded memory, and 377 user I/Os while operating over a 1.14 V to 2.625 V supply range.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 56,340 logic elements suitable for complex programmable logic implementations and mid-range FPGA designs.
• On-Chip Memory — Approximately 1.87 Mbits of total RAM bits for embedded buffers, FIFOs and local data storage.
• I/O and Voltage Flexibility — 377 user I/Os with multi-voltage support across a 1.14 V to 2.625 V supply range to accommodate mixed-signal interfaces and varied I/O standards.
• IGLOO2 Family Architecture — Incorporates fourth-generation flash-based FPGA fabric with 4-input LUTs and carry chains, DSP mathblocks, and a spectrum of high-speed serial and memory interface options as defined by the IGLOO2 family.
• High-Speed Interfaces (Series Capabilities) — IGLOO2 family features include SERDES lanes, PCIe support and high-performance DDRx memory controllers for high-throughput communication and memory subsystems.
• Embedded System Resources — Family-level resources include on-chip eSRAM and eNVM, DMA engines and configurable clocking (series-level details), supporting complex system integration.
• Package and Mounting — 896-BGA (supplier package: 896-FBGA, 31×31) in a surface-mount form factor for compact board designs.
• Commercial Temperature Grade — Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliant for standard commercial deployments.

Typical Applications

• Networking & Communications — Implement protocol bridging, packet processing or SERDES-based interfaces where high I/O density and series-level high-speed serial support are needed.
• High-Speed Memory Interfaces — Serve as a controller or bridge for DDRx memory systems using the IGLOO2 family’s DDR memory controller capabilities.
• DSP and Signal Processing — Use available mathblocks and on-chip memory for data-path acceleration, filtering and fixed-point DSP tasks.
• Secure Embedded Systems — Leverage IGLOO2 family security features for encrypted bitstreams and protection of intellectual property in embedded applications.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Flash-Based Fabric: Flash configuration offers non-volatile programmability and simplified system bring-up without external configuration memory.
• Balanced Logic and Memory Resources: 56,340 logic elements paired with approximately 1.87 Mbits of embedded RAM allow substantial on-chip implementation of control, datapath and buffering functions.
• High I/O Count: 377 user I/Os provide flexible connectivity for multi-domain interfaces and parallel peripherals, reducing the need for external glue logic.
• Compact BGA Package: 896-BGA (31×31) enables dense board layouts while supporting large I/O and routing resources on a single device.
• Commercial-Grade Reliability: RoHS compliant and rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation for a wide range of commercial applications.
• Backed by Microchip Technology: Part of the IGLOO2 family from Microchip Technology, benefiting from documented family-level features and support resources.
