XC17S30XLPDG8C

Overview

The XC17S30XLPDG8C is a specialty memory circuit manufactured by Xilinx, now part of AMD. It is housed in an 8-pin PDIP package and functions as a non-volatile configuration memory device for programmable logic components. The component features a memory density of approximately 300 kilobits (specifically 294,912 bits) with a memory width of 1 bit. It supports a maximum clock frequency of 10 MHz and operates with common I/O types. This device is designed for reliable data storage in embedded systems requiring robust configuration retention.

Feature Summary

• Non-volatile storage capability for FPGA configuration data
• High reliability suitable for industrial and embedded environments
• Simple serial interface operation

Applications

• Configuration memory for Xilinx FPGAs
• Embedded system boot storage
• Industrial control hardware initialization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DG8C' against official Xilinx/AMD documentation to confirm package type and temperature range. Ensure compatibility with the target FPGA's configuration mode requirements. Check for end-of-life status or recommended replacements if sourcing for new designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small-capacity, high-reliability non-volatile memory is required for configuring Xilinx Spartan-6 or similar legacy FPGA devices. Consider pin count and package availability constraints during PCB layout planning.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Xilinx Spartan-6 Configuration Memory family. These devices are specifically engineered to store the bitstream data that programs the internal logic of Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Arrays. They serve as the primary source of configuration data upon power-up.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Xilinx documentation for direct cross-reference parts such as the XC17S40 series for increased capacity or other variants within the same PDIP8 footprint if pin-out compatibility is critical.
