Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm package type matches requirements as variants exist. Check date codes for age-related reliability considerations given the product's long-standing status. Ensure programming equipment compatibility with leading programmer manufacturers before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when configuring Spartan-II or Spartan-IIE FPGAs requiring non-volatile storage. Consider the 8-pin VOIC package for space-constrained designs. Evaluate power consumption needs against the low-power CMOS process. Verify that one-time programming meets the design lifecycle requirements without need for reconfiguration.

Part Context

Part of the XC17S00A family of configuration PROMs, providing cost-effective methods for storing FPGA bitstreams. Designed for simple interface integration with Spartan devices. Supports design workflows using Xilinx Alliance and Foundation software packages. Offers guaranteed data retention for extended operational lifespans.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other members of the XC17S00A family such as XC17S25, XC17S50, or XC17S100, depending on required bitstream capacity. Ensure pinout compatibility and voltage specifications match when substituting. Verify package availability if specific form factors are required.
