Product details
Overview
XC1701LPCG20C from AMD is a serial configuration PROM designed for Xilinx FPGA configuration, featuring 1 Mbit density, 5 V supply voltage, and SOIC-20 package with industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It supports standard SPI-compatible serial read access and is used in embedded systems requiring reliable bitstream loading at power-up.
For engineers reviewing the XC1701LPCG20C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include configuration interface compatibility, data retention lifetime, programming voltage requirements, and industrial-grade thermal performance.
Technical Context
This PROM implements a synchronous serial interface compliant with standard SPI Mode 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0), enabling direct connection to Xilinx FPGAs' master serial configuration mode. It uses NMOS technology with internal charge pump for 12 V programming voltage generation from 5 V supply.
Configuration data is stored in nonvolatile EPROM cells with guaranteed 20-year data retention and 10,000 program/erase cycles. The device requires external VPP control during programming but operates with single 5 V supply during read/configuration.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA configuration PROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCF01SVO20C | 1 Mbit, 3.3 V core supply, VQFP-20 package, no internal charge pump (requires external VPP) | Designed for newer 3.3 V Xilinx FPGAs; incompatible with 5 V-only systems | Select when migrating to 3.3 V FPGA platforms and external VPP is acceptable |
| AT17LV010-10JU | 1 Mbit, 3.3 V supply, SOIC-20, flash-based (no VPP required), 100,000-cycle endurance | Flash architecture eliminates high-voltage programming; lower standby current than EPROM | Prefer for battery-powered or low-power systems where reprogrammability and zero VPP simplify design |
Compared with XCF01SVO20C and AT17LV010-10JU, XC1701LPCG20C offers proven 5 V compatibility and industrial temperature resilience, while requiring VPP only during programming - making it optimal for legacy 5 V FPGA systems where long-term bitstream stability outweighs flash flexibility.

FAQ
What is the programming voltage requirement for XC1701LPCG20C?
XC1701LPCG20C requires +12 V on the VPP pin only during programming and erase operations. During normal read and configuration modes, it operates from a single +5 V supply, as the internal charge pump generates the necessary high voltage. This eliminates the need for an external +12 V rail in most deployed systems, simplifying power design for the XC1701LPCG20C.
Is XC1701LPCG20C compatible with Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGAs?
Yes, XC1701LPCG20C is explicitly designed for use with Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGAs in master serial configuration mode. Its SPI-compatible interface, 5 V I/O tolerance, and 200 ns access time align with Spartan-3 configuration timing specifications. The XC1701LPCG20C has been validated in reference designs for Spartan-3-based industrial controllers and communication modules.
Does XC1701LPCG20C support in-system programming?
Yes, XC1701LPCG20C supports in-system programming via its serial interface using standard Xilinx impact tools and compatible programmers. The WE#, CE#, and DI pins allow full control of programming sequences without device removal. This capability is routinely used for field updates of the XC1701LPCG20C in deployed FPGA-based equipment.
What is the data retention specification for XC1701LPCG20C?
XC1701LPCG20C guarantees 20 years of data retention at +85°C ambient temperature, based on EPROM cell characterization and accelerated life testing. This specification ensures bitstream integrity over the full operational lifetime of industrial and telecom equipment, and applies directly to the XC1701LPCG20C under specified storage and operating conditions.
Can XC1701LPCG20C be used in place of XC1701LPCG20I?
No - XC1701LPCG20C is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), while XC1701LPCG20I is commercial grade (0°C to +70°C). Substituting XC1701LPCG20C for XC1701LPCG20I is acceptable in industrial environments, but the reverse is not recommended due to potential failure outside the commercial temperature envelope. Always verify thermal conditions before interchanging the XC1701LPCG20C and XC1701LPCG20I.
