Overview

The M2GL005-TQG144 is a low-density IGLOO2 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip, featuring 6,060 logic elements. Built on a flash-based architecture, this device provides high reliability, SEU immunity, and integrated security features including 137,536 bytes of user EEPROM. Its low power consumption is highlighted by a typical run current of 6.2mA at 25C and a dedicated Flash*Freeze mode for efficiency.

Why Choose This Part

This FPGA offers high reliability with an SEU-immune fabric, making it suitable for mission-critical applications where data integrity is paramount. It features low static power consumption and simplified board design due to its single-chip, flash-based architecture that eliminates the need for external configuration memory.

Applications

Industrial Interface Bridging
Converting between legacy industrial protocols and modern high-speed serial interfaces like PCIe Gen 1 or Gen 2.
Secure System Controller
Utilizing the on-chip non-volatile memory and SEU-immune fabric for hardware security and system management tasks.
Hardware Acceleration
Offloading compute-intensive tasks from a primary MCU in low-power industrial sensor or monitoring nodes.

Getting Started

Development is supported by Microchip Libero SoC Design Suite, which handles synthesis, simulation, and floorplanning. For hardware evaluation, the IGLOO2 Evaluation Kit or the Creative Development Board provide accessible platforms for prototyping and debugging using standard JTAG interfaces.
