XC1736EVO8I

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Overview

The XC1736EVO8I is a serial configuration PROM designed for configuring AMD Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). It features a 36-kilobit memory capacity and operates within a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V. The component is housed in an 8-pin TSOP package, providing a compact solution for storing FPGA configuration data.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Feature Summary

• Provides non-volatile storage for FPGA configuration bitstreams
• Supports serial interface communication for data transfer
• Operates with standard single-supply voltage requirements

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Applications

• Configuration of AMD Spartan FPGAs
• Configuration of AMD Virtex FPGAs
• Embedded system boot initialization

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'V' indicates the industrial temperature grade and '8' denotes the TSOP-8 package when sourcing replacements. Confirm that the target FPGA device supports serial configuration mode compatible with this PROM type. Ensure the design accounts for the 4.5V to 5.5V operating voltage range during power-up sequences.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated serial PROM is required for FPGA initialization rather than using internal block RAM or external parallel flash. Consider the 36kb capacity limit against the size of the target bitstream. Evaluate the TSOP-8 footprint constraints against available PCB space compared to SOIC alternatives.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Part Context

This part belongs to AMD's family of serial configuration PROMs used primarily with older generation Spartan and Virtex FPGA families. These devices serve as the primary source of configuration data upon power-up, loading the bitstream into the FPGA fabric via a serial interface.
