XC17V08PC44C

Overview

The XC17V08PC44C is a high-performance, non-volatile memory device manufactured by AMD (formerly Xilinx), designed specifically for the configuration of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). It features an 8Mb storage capacity and utilizes a 44-pin PLCC package. The component operates as an OTP Configuration PROM, providing reliable data retention for FPGA initialization sequences.

Feature Summary

• Non-volatile EEPROM technology ensures persistent configuration data storage without power.
• Designed specifically for serial configuration of Xilinx FPGAs.
• Supports standard SPI interface protocols for programming.

Applications

• Configuration of Xilinx Spartan and Virtex FPGA families
• Industrial control system boot memory
• Embedded logic initialization

Procurement Notes

Verify manufacturer authenticity due to legacy status. Confirm package integrity upon receipt. Check datasheet for specific voltage requirements and programming algorithms. Ensure compatibility with target FPGA configuration modes before integration into design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when configuring Xilinx FPGAs requiring 8Mb capacity. Verify pinout compatibility with existing PCB layouts. Consider alternative densities if larger configuration space is needed. Ensure programming equipment supports the required voltage levels.

Part Context

Part of the Xilinx XC17V series, now under AMD portfolio. Legacy CPLD/FPGA configuration memory line. Replaced by newer configuration controllers in modern designs but remains relevant for maintaining existing hardware systems.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible substitutes within the XC17V series. Verify electrical specifications match original design requirements. Consult AMD documentation for recommended upgrades or obsolescence notices.
