XC17S30PD8I

Overview

The AMD XC17S30PD8I is a specialty memory circuit designed for FPGA configuration applications. It features a serial PROM architecture with a density of 307,200 bits (organized as 307,200 x 1). The device operates within a supply voltage range of 3.0V to 3.6V and supports a maximum clock frequency of 10 MHz. It is housed in an 8-pin Plastic Dual In-line Package (PDIP) with a standard .3-inch width. The component is rated for an industrial operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Serial configuration interface for synchronous data loading into compatible Xilinx FPGAs
• Non-volatile storage capability retaining configuration data without power
• Industrial-grade thermal stability suitable for demanding operational environments

Applications

• Configuration of Xilinx Spartan-3E field-programmable gate arrays
• System initialization for embedded logic controllers
• FPGA boot memory in industrial automation hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature rating (-40°C to +85°C) against the manufacturer's official datasheet. Confirm the package designation matches the PDIP-8 physical dimensions. Ensure compatibility with the target FPGA's configuration mode requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a non-volatile serial configuration source is required for Spartan-3E devices. Compare bit density requirements against other XC17Sxx series parts. Verify that the synchronous serial interface timing aligns with the system clock constraints. Consider the PDIP package for prototyping or through-hole manufacturing needs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Xilinx Spartan Configuration PROM family, specifically engineered to store bitstream data for Spartan-3E FPGAs. It serves as a primary configuration source, enabling the FPGA to load its logic design upon power-up. The series provides a cost-effective solution for permanent configuration storage in mass-produced electronic systems.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution lists for equivalent density serial PROMs. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before replacing with alternative manufacturers' components.
