XC17V08PC44I

Overview

The XC17V08PC44I is a configuration memory device manufactured by AMD (Xilinx), designed for programming Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). It utilizes EEPROM storage technology with a capacity of 8 Mbit, organized as 1M x 8 bits. The component operates within a supply voltage range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V and supports a maximum operating frequency of 33 MHz. It functions reliably across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The device is housed in a 44-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP) suitable for surface-mount installation.

Feature Summary

• Provides non-volatile storage for FPGA configuration data using EEPROM technology
• Supports synchronous operation for reliable data transfer during programming
• Designed for industrial-grade environmental stability

Applications

• Configuration of Xilinx FPGAs
• Industrial embedded systems requiring persistent logic settings
• Data center hardware acceleration boards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type against official datasheets, as the model suffix 'PC44' typically denotes PLCC-44, while related variants like 'VQ44' indicate PQFP-44. Confirm the manufacturer source, as Rochester Electronics may distribute this part alongside AMD/Xilinx. Ensure the application environment matches the specified industrial temperature range and voltage requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8 Mbit configuration capacity is required for compatible Xilinx FPGA devices. Consider the PQFP-44 package if leaded soldering processes are mandated or if the PCB layout specifically accommodates this form factor. Verify that the system power supply remains stable within the 3.0 V to 3.6 V window to ensure proper read/write operations.

Part Context

This part belongs to the XC17V00 series of configuration PROMs, which are specialized memory devices used to store the bitstream data for Xilinx FPGAs. Unlike general-purpose EEPROMs, these devices are optimized for high-speed parallel loading of FPGA configuration registers. The series provides a cost-effective solution for fixed-function designs where reconfiguration is infrequent.

Replacement Considerations

XC17V08VQ44I: Offers identical 8 Mbit capacity but utilizes a PQFP-44 package instead of PLCC-44. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical fit before substitution.
