XC17S15AVO8I

Overview

The AMD XC17S15AVO8I is a high-density, non-volatile configuration PROM designed for the Spartan-6 FPGA family. It serves as a primary or secondary boot device, storing the bitstream required to initialize the target FPGA upon power-up. The component utilizes an 8-pin SOIC package and operates within standard industrial temperature ranges, ensuring reliable data retention and program endurance for embedded systems requiring robust configuration integrity.

Feature Summary

• Provides non-volatile storage for FPGA configuration bitstreams
• Supports direct parallel loading into Spartan-6 devices
• Ensures secure and reliable system initialization

Applications

• Spartan-6 FPGA configuration
• Industrial control systems
• Embedded computing platforms

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VO8I' against official AMD documentation to confirm voltage range and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with the target Spartan-6 device's configuration mode. Cross-reference part numbers with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated non-volatile memory solution is required for Spartan-6 FPGAs. Consider pin count and interface speed relative to the FPGA's configuration requirements. Evaluate environmental ratings if the application involves harsh operating conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to AMD's XCF series of configuration PROMs, specifically tailored for Xilinx Spartan-6 and Virtex-5 families. These devices are integral to embedded designs where persistent configuration storage is critical for immediate system operation without external host intervention.

Replacement Considerations

Check for XCF04S or XCF16S variants depending on capacity needs. Verify pinout compatibility before substituting. Consult AMD's official cross-reference guides for approved alternatives.
