The IGLOO nano Starter Kit provides a simple board with Actel's IGLOO nano AGLN250 device in the VQG100 package, Libero® Integrated Design Environment (IDE), and a low-cost programming stick (LCPS) for in-system programming. The IGLOO nano Starter Kit is fully RoHS-compliant and enables you to quickly evaluate Actel's IGLOO family and prototype your design. The following key functions are supported:
- Detailed current monitoring capabilities of the industry's lowest power FPGAs
- Development with Actel's Flash*Freeze technology
- Easy experimentation with ISP, device serialization, and FlashLock on-chip system security
- USB-to-UART interface for HyperTerminal on PC connected to board
- On-board voltage regulation, enabling independent I/O bank voltages
Since IGLOO nano devices are footprint-compatible with ProASIC3 nano devices, this kit can also be used to prototype designs for ProASIC3 nano, as well as the low-power leader of IGLOO nano.

Development board with an AGLN250-VQG100 device
- Low-cost AGLN250-VQG100 device
- USB-to-UART connection for HyperTerminal on a PC
- Clocks: A 20 MHz system clock is provided using a low-power, precision oscillator.
- Eight LEDs and four switches provide simple inputs and outputs to the system.
- All I/Os available for quick connection to external circuitry
- Ability to switch VCORE from 1.2 V to 1.5 V
- Full current measurement capability of independent I/O banks and VCC for accurate power analysis
- Optional board power connector for an external supply, but none is needed when connected to a USB cable
- Includes best-in-class FPGA tools from industry leaders
- All components used on the board are low-power components, including LEDs (2 mA), resets (µA range), and oscillator (2-3 mA).
