AMD XC17S05XLPD8I

XC17S05XLPD8I in-system programmable configuration PROM

The XC17S05XLPD8I from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a high-performance in-system programmable configuration PROM designed specifically for storing configuration data for Xilinx FPGA and CPLD devices. This 5-megabit serial flash memory features a compact 8-pin PDIP package and operates from a single 3.3V supply voltage, providing reliable non-volatile storage for FPGA bitstreams in a wide range of industrial, communications, and consumer applications. The device utilizes a serial interface with a maximum clock frequency of 25 MHz, enabling fast configuration times for modern FPGA devices while consuming minimal power during both active and standby operations. With its robust architecture supporting industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and 100,000 program/erase cycles endurance, the XC17S05XLPD8I ensures long-term reliability in demanding environments such as automotive electronics, industrial control systems, and telecommunications infrastructure where consistent FPGA initialization is critical for system operation.

XC17S05XLPD8I Applications

The XC17S05XLPD8I is extensively used in conjunction with Xilinx Spartan and Virtex series FPGAs for storing configuration bitstreams in telecommunications equipment such as network routers, base stations, and switching systems where reliable startup is essential. Industrial automation systems employ the device for PLCs, motor controllers, and vision systems requiring robust FPGA configuration storage in electrically noisy environments. Automotive applications include infotainment systems, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and engine control units where the PROM's temperature tolerance meets automotive reliability standards. Medical equipment utilizes the device for imaging systems and patient monitoring devices where consistent FPGA initialization ensures operational safety. Additional applications include aerospace systems, test and measurement equipment, and broadcast video equipment that benefit from the device's reliability and long-term data retention capabilities.
