XC17S30APD8I

Overview

The AMD XC17S30APD8I is a serial One-Time Programmable (OTP) PROM memory IC designed for storing configuration data in programmable logic and embedded hardware systems. It operates within a standard voltage range and utilizes a compact PDIP-8 package, ensuring compatibility with legacy and industrial interfaces. This component provides non-volatile storage essential for booting and initializing FPGA or CPLD devices, offering reliable data retention without requiring continuous power.

Feature Summary

• Serial interface architecture for efficient configuration data transfer
• One-time programmable memory structure for secure permanent storage
• Non-volatile data retention capabilities for system initialization

Applications

• FPGA configuration data storage
• CPLD initialization memory
• Embedded hardware boot code storage

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PD8I' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout and temperature grade compatibility. Ensure the programming equipment supports the required voltage levels and serial protocol for this OTP device. Confirm that the part is new and unprogrammed if initial configuration is required.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a serial, non-volatile solution is needed for configuring programmable logic devices. The OTP nature makes it suitable for fixed configurations where reprogramming is unnecessary. Consider the PDIP-8 package for through-hole mounting requirements in industrial or legacy designs.

Part Context

This part belongs to AMD's (formerly Xilinx) series of serial PROMs used primarily for loading configuration bitstreams into programmable logic devices. These components are critical in embedded systems where reliable startup sequences are required without external flash controllers.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-reference part numbers from AMD/Xilinx documentation. Generic OTP serial PROMs may not match the specific timing or voltage requirements. Verify package compatibility before substitution.
