XC17V16PC44C

Overview

The XC17V16PC44C is a 16-Mbit EEPROM configuration memory device manufactured by AMD (formerly Xilinx). It operates at a maximum frequency of 33 MHz and requires a supply voltage between 3.0 V and 3.6 V, with a typical operating voltage of 3.3 V. The component draws up to 25 mA during operation and supports SMD/SMT installation in a PLCC-44 package. It functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Stores FPGA configuration data for non-volatile boot-up initialization
• Supports high-speed serial programming interface for rapid data transfer
• Provides reliable storage for configuration bitstreams in industrial environments

Applications

• Configuration of Xilinx Spartan-3E FPGAs
• Configuration of Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGAs
• Configuration of Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGAs

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer marking matches AMD or Xilinx specifications. Confirm the package type is PLCC-44 and the suffix indicates the correct temperature grade. Ensure the device is intended for FPGA configuration memory applications only.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a 16-Mbit capacity is required for specific Xilinx FPGA families. Compare against other capacities in the XC17 series based on the size of the target configuration bitstream. Verify voltage compatibility with the target FPGA's configuration bank requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the XC17V00 series of configuration PROMs designed specifically for Xilinx programmable logic devices. These devices store the binary configuration data that initializes the FPGA fabric upon power-up, enabling the device to operate as a dedicated logic circuit.
