XC17S10PD8C

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Overview

The XC17S10PD8C is a specialty memory circuit belonging to the Spartan/XL family of one-time programmable (OTP) configuration PROMs. Manufactured by Xilinx, this component is designed to store configuration bitstreams for Spartan and Spartan-XL field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). It utilizes a low-power CMOS floating-gate process and operates with a maximum clock frequency of 10 MHz. The device features a memory density of 95,008 bits organized as 95,008 words by 1 bit. It is housed in an 8-pin TSOP package and supports both 5V and 3.3V versions.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Feature Summary

• Configurable reset polarity allowing active high or active low operation
• Simple interface requiring only one user I/O pin for Spartan device connection
• Guaranteed 20-year life data retention capability

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Applications

• Storing configuration bitstreams for Spartan FPGAs
• Storing configuration bitstreams for Spartan-XL FPGAs
• Master Serial mode configuration systems

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant when ordering, as the model suffix indicates a TSOP-8 package, which differs from other DIP variants in the same family. Confirm voltage requirements against the target system design, as the series includes both 5V and 3.3V options. Ensure compatibility with leading programmer manufacturers for initial programming needs. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the deployment environment.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Selection Notes

Select this component when deploying Spartan or Spartan-XL FPGAs requiring non-volatile configuration storage. The OTP nature makes it suitable for fixed-function designs where reprogramming is unnecessary. Consider the simple single-pin interface requirement for board layout efficiency. Evaluate the 10 MHz clock speed against the FPGA's configuration timing requirements to ensure reliable data transfer during power-up sequences.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Part Context

This part belongs to the Spartan/XL family of configuration PROMs, providing a cost-effective method for storing FPGA bitstreams. These devices are specifically engineered to interface directly with Spartan-family FPGAs in Master Serial mode. The family emphasizes ease of use and reliability for embedded control applications where FPGA configuration data must persist without external volatile memory.
