XC17V01VO8I

Overview

The XC17V01VO8I is a programmable read-only memory (PROM) component manufactured by AMD, designed for configuring Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). It features a storage capacity of 1 Megabit (128K x 8) and operates on a single 5V power supply. The device utilizes One-Time Programmable (OTP) technology, allowing data to be written once and retained indefinitely without power. It is housed in an 8-VSSOP surface-mount package with a body width of 3.90mm. The component supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C and complies with RoHS standards, ensuring environmental safety for modern electronic assemblies.

Feature Summary

• Provides non-volatile configuration data storage for FPGA initialization sequences
• Utilizes robust OTP technology for secure, permanent data retention
• Operates reliably within extended industrial temperature environments
• Supports standard 5V logic levels for straightforward integration

Applications

• Configuration of Xilinx Spartan and Virtex FPGA families
• Industrial control systems requiring reliable boot-up sequences
• Embedded networking equipment initialization
• Automotive electronics where long-term data integrity is critical

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VO8I' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package dimensions and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with existing FPGA configuration pins before procurement. Check for end-of-life notices or recommended replacement parts if sourcing for new designs. Confirm that the OTP programming equipment supports the required voltage and timing specifications for this specific density.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a non-volatile, one-time programmable solution is required for FPGA configuration rather than volatile SRAM or flash. Consider the 1Mb capacity relative to the target FPGA's bitstream size. Evaluate the VSSOP package for space-constrained PCB layouts compared to through-hole alternatives. Verify that the system design does not require reprogramming capabilities, as OTP devices cannot be erased.

Part Context

This part belongs to the XC17 series of PROMs, which are specifically engineered to store configuration data for Xilinx FPGAs. These devices bridge the gap between manufacturing and field deployment by providing a stable, unchangeable source of configuration bits. The series supports various densities and packages to accommodate different FPGA sizes and form factors.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible upgrades within the XC17 family offering higher densities. Verify if newer generation configuration controllers or flash-based solutions meet the same reliability requirements while offering reprogrammability.
