AT17C65-10PC

Overview

The AT17C65-10PC is a 64K-bit (65,536 x 1-bit) serial EEPROM configurator designed for Field Programmable Gate Arrays. It operates at a nominal 5V supply voltage with an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device utilizes a simple serial interface compatible with FPGA Master Serial Mode and supports in-system programming via a 2-wire bus. It is housed in an 8-pin Plastic Dual Inline Package (PDIP).

Feature Summary

• Designed specifically to store configuration programs for Field Programmable Gate Arrays.
• Supports In-System Programming through a 2-wire serial bus interface.
• Features programmable reset polarity to accommodate various FPGA control requirements.
• Includes a write-protection mechanism within the programming mode.

Applications

• Configuration of Atmel AT6000 and AT40K FPGAs.
• Configuration of Altera FLEX devices.
• Configuration of Xilinx XC3000, XC4000, XC5200, and SPARTAN FPGAs.

Procurement Notes

Verify that the component matches the specific 5V commercial/industrial variant designated by the 'C' suffix and 'PC' package code. Confirm the manufacturer origin, as Atmel was acquired by Microchip Technology, ensuring documentation aligns with current corporate standards. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by local regulations.

Selection Notes

Select this part when configuring single or multiple smaller FPGAs requiring a cost-effective serial memory solution. Ensure the system operates within the specified 4.5V to 5.5V range for industrial applications. Consider the 8-pin PDIP package constraints regarding board space and thermal dissipation compared to SOIC or PLCC alternatives.

Part Context

This component belongs to the low-density AT17 Series of FPGA Configuration EEPROMs. It serves as a configurator to load bitstreams into FPGAs upon power-up or command. The series includes variants with different memory densities and voltage levels, such as the 128K and 256K versions, which support cascading capabilities not available in the 64K model.
