XC17S30XLPD8I

Overview

The XC17S30XLPD8I is a programmable read-only memory (PROM) device manufactured by AMD, designed specifically for the configuration of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). It belongs to the XC17S00/XL Spartan/XL families and utilizes One-Time Programmable (OTP) technology. The component features a storage capacity of 300kb and operates within a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V. It is housed in an 8-PDIP package with through-hole mounting capabilities. The device supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Configures Xilinx FPGAs using OTP technology
• Industrial temperature operation capability
• Through-hole DIP packaging

Applications

• Configuration of Spartan-XL FPGAs
• System initialization for embedded logic designs
• Permanent storage of FPGA bitstreams

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity due to discontinued status. Confirm package integrity as the part is no longer in active production. Check datasheet revisions for compatibility with target FPGA families. Ensure supply chain sources provide traceability documentation. Validate electrical specifications against original design requirements before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when configuring Spartan-XL or compatible Xilinx devices requiring permanent configuration storage. Consider the 300kb capacity limits for complex designs. Evaluate the 8-DIP package constraints for PCB layout. Verify voltage compatibility with the target system's power rails. Assess thermal requirements against the specified operating temperature range.

Part Context

This part is part of the XC17S00 series, which includes variants like XC17S40PD8I. These PROMs are legacy components used primarily with older Xilinx FPGA architectures. The 'XL' designation indicates enhanced performance characteristics compared to standard versions. The family was officially discontinued in July 2010 according to manufacturer notices.

Replacement Considerations

Official substitutes include other parts from the XC17S00 family such as XC17S40PD8I. Cross-reference pinouts and capacities carefully. Newer FPGA configurations may require different storage technologies. Verify compatibility with existing programming tools.
