Based on a 130 nm flash processing technology, the IGLOO PLUS family of flash FPGAs provides the lowest power FPGA, a single-chip solution, small-footprint packages, reprogrammability, and a wealth of advanced capabilities.
It is possible to enter and exit an ultralow-power mode that uses as little as 5 W while preserving the design data, SRAM content, registers, and I/O states thanks to the Flash*Freeze technology utilized in IGLOO PLUS devices. With its quick return to operating mode and simplified I/O and clock management, Flash*Freeze technology streamlines power management. The IGLOO PLUS device can be used in the system with full functionality while using extremely little power thanks to the Low Power Active capabilities (static idle). As a result, the IGLOO PLUS device may manage the system's power consumption based on external inputs (such searching for keyboard stimuli).
IGLOO PLUS devices benefit from nonvolatile flash technology by being a safe, low-power, single-chip solution that is live at power-up (LAPU). IGLOO PLUS is reprogrammable and provides advantages in time to market at an ASIC-level unit price.
These properties make it possible for designers to use current ASIC or FPGA design flows and tools to produce high-density systems.
IGLOO PLUS devices have clock conditioning circuitry based on an integrated phase-locked loop (PLL), as well as 1 kbit of on-chip, reprogrammable, nonvolatile FlashROM storage. IGLOO PLUS devices provide up to 212 user I/Os, up to 36 kbits of real dual-port SRAM, and up to 125 k system gates. The AGLP030 devices don't support PLL or RAM.
