XC17256EVO8C

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Overview

The XC17256EVO8C is a serial configuration PROM manufactured by AMD (formerly Xilinx), designed for programming Field-Programmable Gate Arrays. It features a memory size of 256Kb and operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V. The component supports surface mount mounting in an 8-SOIC package and functions within an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'V' indicates the extended temperature or voltage variant if required by your design specifications. Confirm the 8-SOIC package dimensions match your PCB footprint. Ensure the source document explicitly lists this part number as available from authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components. Check for any RoHS compliance markings on the official datasheet.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Selection Notes

Select this component when a 256Kb capacity is sufficient for the target FPGA's bitstream. Consider the 8-SOIC package constraints for board space. Evaluate the 4.75V to 5.25V supply requirement against your system power rails. Compare against other XC17xx series parts if different densities are needed.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Part Context

This device belongs to the XC17xx family of serial configuration PROMs from AMD/Xilinx. These devices are specifically engineered to store the configuration data that initializes Xilinx programmable logic devices upon power-up. They serve as a critical link between non-volatile storage and the dynamic reconfigurable fabric of the FPGA.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible substitutes within the XC17xx series with different density options, such as XC17256E or XC17512E, provided the application does not require the exact 256Kb capacity. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 8-SOIC package and electrical characteristics.
