XC17S50APD8I

Overview

The AMD XC17S50APD8I is a PROM device from the Xilinx Spartan-XL family, housed in an 8-pin PDIP package. It features a storage capacity of 50 kilobits (64 x 8 bits) and operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C, with a maximum operating temperature of +85°C. The component utilizes through-hole mounting for integration into electronic circuits.

Feature Summary

• Provides non-volatile configuration data storage for programmable logic devices
• Supports standard parallel interface programming protocols
• Designed for reliable operation in commercial industrial environments

Applications

• Configuration memory for Xilinx FPGA systems
• Embedded system boot code storage
• Industrial control unit initialization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PD8I' confirms the PDIP-8 package and commercial temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with the target FPGA's voltage requirements and pinout definitions before procurement. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm end-of-life status or recommended alternatives.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small-capacity, low-pin-count configuration memory is required for Spartan-XL based designs. The PDIP-8 package is suitable for prototyping or applications where surface-mount space is not a constraint. Evaluate thermal management needs against the specified commercial temperature limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Xilinx Spartan-XL series, which was designed to offer enhanced performance and lower power consumption compared to earlier generations. The XC17S50 specifically serves as a configuration PROM, storing the bitstream that programs the associated FPGA upon power-up.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Xilinx documentation for direct cross-references. Verify if newer generation configuration devices are supported by the target FPGA architecture.
