XC17S30VO8C

Overview

The AMD XC17S30VO8C is a high-density, non-volatile configuration PROM designed for Xilinx FPGA systems. It provides 300 Kbit of storage capacity in an 8-pin SOIC package. This device serves as a primary configuration source, enabling the initialization of connected FPGAs upon power-up. It supports standard SPI interface protocols for reliable data transfer and ensures system integrity by retaining configuration data without external power.

Feature Summary

• Provides non-volatile storage for FPGA configuration bitstreams
• Supports serial peripheral interface (SPI) communication protocols
• Retains programmed data without continuous power supply

Applications

• Xilinx FPGA system configuration
• Embedded hardware initialization
• Industrial control board setup

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'V' indicates commercial temperature range and 'O8C' denotes the 8-pin SOIC package with lead-free finish. Confirm compatibility with the target Xilinx FPGA family before procurement. Ensure ordering documentation matches the exact part number to avoid pinout or voltage discrepancies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, low-cost solution is required for storing FPGA configuration data. The 8-pin form factor suits space-constrained designs. Verify that the target FPGA supports the specific SPI mode and voltage levels supported by this PROM variant.

Part Context

This component belongs to AMD's legacy configuration memory portfolio, originally developed through Xilinx acquisition. It is designed specifically for use with Xilinx Spartan and Artix series FPGAs. The device represents a standard solution for booting programmable logic devices in embedded applications.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-references from other manufacturers offering equivalent 300Kbit SPI PROMs. Verify pin compatibility and voltage requirements before substituting. Ensure the alternative device supports the same programming algorithm used by the target FPGA.
