XC17S200AVQ44C

Overview

The AMD XC17S200AVQ44C is a high-density, non-volatile configuration PROM designed for programming Xilinx Spartan-3A and Spartan-6 FPGA devices. It features a capacity of 200,000 bits (256 Kbit) organized as 32K x 8. The component operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and utilizes a 44-pin VQFP package with a 10mm body size. It supports standard SPI serial interface protocols for reliable data loading during system initialization.

Feature Summary

• Provides secure, non-volatile storage for FPGA configuration bitstreams
• Supports standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) communication protocols
• Engineered for industrial-grade reliability across wide temperature ranges

Applications

• Configuration memory for Xilinx Spartan-3A FPGAs
• Configuration memory for Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGAs
• Industrial control systems requiring robust FPGA boot sequences

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VQ44C' confirms the 44-pin VQFP package and industrial temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with the target FPGA's required voltage levels and SPI mode settings before integration into the design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated, cost-effective solution is needed for storing FPGA configuration data. It is suitable for designs where power-down retention is critical and direct JTAG programming is not feasible during field operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to AMD's (formerly Xilinx) XC17 series of configuration PROMs. These devices are specifically engineered to interface directly with Xilinx FPGAs, simplifying the hardware design by eliminating the need for complex external configuration controllers or flash memory interfaces.

Replacement Considerations

Check for pin-compatible alternatives such as the XC17S200E or XC17S200I if different temperature grades or package options are required. Verify that any substitute maintains identical SPI command sets and timing characteristics.
