IGLOO Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 49 768 68-VFQFN Exposed Pad

General Description

The IGLOO family of flash FPGAs, based on a 130-nm flash process, offers the lowest power FPGA, a single-chip solution,

small footprint packages, reprogrammability, and an abundance of advanced features.

The Flash*Freeze technology used in IGLOO devices enables entering and exiting an ultra-low power mode that

consumes as little as 5 μW while retaining SRAM and register data. Flash*Freeze technology simplifies power management

through I/O and clock management with rapid recovery to operation mode.

The Low Power Active capability (static idle) allows for ultra-low power consumption (from 12 μW) while the IGLOO device

is completely functional in the system. This allows the IGLOO device to control system power management based on

external inputs (e.g., scanning for keyboard stimulus) while consuming minimal power.

Nonvolatile flash technology gives IGLOO devices the advantage of being a secure, low power, single-chip solution that is

Instant On. IGLOO is reprogrammable and offers time-to-market benefits at an ASIC-level unit cost.

These features enable designers to create high-density systems using existing ASIC or FPGA design flows and tools.

IGLOO devices offer 1 kbit of on-chip, reprogrammable, nonvolatile FlashROM storage as well as clock conditioning

circuitry based on an integrated phase-locked loop (PLL). The AGL015 and AGL030 devices have no PLL or RAM support.

IGLOO devices have up to 1 million system gates, supported with up to 144 kbits of true dual-port SRAM and up to 300

user I/Os.

M1 IGLOO devices support the high-performance, 32-bit Cortex-M1 processor developed by ARM for implementation in

FPGAs. Cortex-M1 is a soft processor that is fully implemented in the FPGA fabric. It has a three-stage pipeline that offers

a good balance between low power consumption and speed when implemented in an M1 IGLOO device. The processor

runs the ARMv6-M instruction set, has a configurable nested interrupt controller, and can be implemented with or

without the debug block. Cortex-M1 is available for free from Microsemi for use in M1 IGLOO FPGAs.

The ARM-enabled devices have ordering numbers that begin with M1AGL and do not support AES decryption.
