XC17V16VQ44I

Overview

The XC17V16VQ44I is a one-time programmable (OTP) configuration PROM designed for configuring Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). It provides 16 Megabits of storage capacity and operates at a supply voltage of 3.3 Volts. The device is housed in a 44-pin Very Thin Quad Flat Package (VQFP) with dimensions of 10x10 mm. It is rated for industrial temperature range operation, ensuring reliability in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• Provides non-volatile storage for FPGA configuration data
• Supports standard serial interface protocols for programming
• Industrial temperature rating for robust environmental performance

Applications

• Configuration of Xilinx FPGAs
• Embedded system initialization
• Industrial control hardware setup

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade. Confirm the package type matches the design footprint requirements. Ensure compatibility with the target FPGA family before procurement. Check for obsolescence status as OTP devices may have limited production runs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an OTP solution is required for FPGA configuration to reduce board space compared to parallel flash. Ensure the target FPGA supports the specific bitstream format generated by this PROM. Verify voltage levels match the FPGA's configuration pin requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to AMD's (formerly Xilinx) line of configuration memory devices. These PROMs are specifically engineered to store the binary configuration files necessary to initialize Xilinx FPGA devices upon power-up or reset. They serve as a cost-effective and compact alternative to larger flash memories for fixed-function designs.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-reference part numbers from AMD/Xilinx documentation. Verify that any substitute offers identical pinout, voltage, and capacity. Ensure the replacement supports the same programming algorithm.
