XCF16PVO48C0973

Overview

The XCF16PVO48C0973 is a Platform Flash In-System Programmable Configuration PROM manufactured by Xilinx. It utilizes a low-power advanced CMOS NOR flash process to provide non-volatile storage for FPGA configuration data. The device supports in-system programming via IEEE Standard 1149.1/1532 Boundary-Scan (JTAG) interfaces, allowing for flexible field updates without removing the component from the circuit board.

Feature Summary

• Supports in-system programmability for direct configuration of Xilinx FPGAs
• Utilizes low-power advanced CMOS NOR flash technology
• Enables field updates through standard JTAG boundary-scan protocols

Applications

• Configuration memory for Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Arrays
• Industrial control systems requiring reconfigurable logic
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '0973' against official Xilinx documentation to confirm its exact meaning, as it may denote a specific tape-and-reel packaging variant or internal revision code not universally standardized in public datasheets. Ensure the source provides traceability to original manufacturing batches and confirms compliance with relevant environmental standards such as RoHS, as generic listings often lack precise certification details.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require non-volatile configuration storage for Xilinx FPGAs with support for in-field reprogramming. It is suitable for applications needing reliable data retention and low power consumption during standby modes. Consider the package type and pin compatibility with the target FPGA's configuration interface before finalizing the design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Xilinx XCF series of Platform Flash PROMs, designed specifically to configure Spartan, Virtex, and other Xilinx FPGA families. These devices serve as the primary non-volatile memory source, storing the bitstream required to initialize the programmable logic upon power-up.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other members of the XCF family such as XCF16PFS48C or XCF16PVFG48C, provided they match the required capacity and package dimensions. Verify electrical characteristics and pinout compatibility before substitution.
