Product details
Overview
XC1702LPC44C from Xilinx is a one-time programmable (OTP) configuration PROM designed to store 2,097,152-bit FPGA bitstreams for Xilinx XC4000XL/XLA, XC4000XV, and Spartan families in Master Serial mode. It operates at 3.0–3.6 V, supports cascading via CEO/CE daisy-chain, features programmable reset polarity, and delivers 45 ns CLK-to-data access with 67 ns minimum clock period.
For engineers reviewing the XC1702LPC44C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include 3.3V-only operation, 44-pin PLCC package compatibility, standby current of 350 µA, cascading support for multi-FPGA systems, and guaranteed 20-year data retention.
Technical Context
The XC1702LPC44C functions as a synchronous serial memory interface: its internal address counter increments on each rising CLK edge when CE and OE are active, outputting configuration data on the DATA pin aligned to CCLK. The RESET/OE pin-programmable as active-High or active-Low-holds the counter at zero and forces DATA into high-impedance state.
In cascaded configurations, the CEO output of the first device drives the CE input of the next; TCAC max is extended to 120 ns due to CEO propagation delay (TOCK ≤30 ns) plus CE-to-data delay (TCCE ≤90 ns). VPP must be tied to VCC during read operation to ensure stable timing and avoid temperature-dependent failures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Configuration capacity | 2,097,152 bits - stores full bitstream for XC4062XL/XLA, XC4085XL/XLA, or XCV200E FPGAs |
| Supply voltage | 3.0–3.6 V - requires dedicated 3.3V rail; VPP must be connected to VCC for reliable read operation |
| Access time | 45 ns TCAC - enables up to 14.9 MHz configuration clock (67 ns min cycle) |
| Standby current | 350 µA - specified with DATA pulled to VCC or GND; reduces system power during FPGA idle states |
| Data retention | 20 years - guaranteed non-volatile storage without refresh; critical for long-lifecycle industrial deployments |
| Operating temperature | 0°C to +70°C - commercial-grade rating suitable for controlled-environment embedded systems |
| Package | 44-pin PLCC (PC44) - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles; 16.59 mm × 16.59 mm footprint |
Pinout & Package
XC1702LPC44C uses a 44-pin Plastic Chip Carrier (PC44) package with 0.050-inch lead pitch. Pin 1 is located at the index corner; pins 1–22 and 24–44 are assigned; pins 23 and 39 are no-connects (NC).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 6–11, 13–17, 19–22, 24–26, 28–38, 40–43 | No-connect (NC) | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per PCB layout guidelines |
| 3 | RESET/OE | Dual-function pin: programmable as active-High RESET (default) or active-Low OE; driven by FPGA INIT to synchronize counter reset |
| 12 | CE | Chip Enable: High disables counter and forces DATA high-Z; tied to FPGA DONE for automatic disable post-configuration |
| 18, 41 | GND | Ground reference for logic and power; both pins must be connected to system ground plane |
| 27 | CEO | Chip Enable Output: goes Low after terminal count to enable next PROM in cascade chain |
| 35 | VPP | Programming voltage input: must be connected to VCC during read operation; floating VPP causes unpredictable timing behavior |
| 44 | VCC | Positive supply: powers core logic and output drivers; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm |
| 40 | DATA | Serial data output: connects directly to FPGA DIN pin; high-Z when CE or OE inactive |
| 43 | CLK | Configuration clock input: driven by FPGA CCLK; rising edge advances address counter and triggers DATA output |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| One-time programmable OTP memory | Eliminates need for external programming hardware in production; bitstream locked permanently after initial burn |
| Single I/O interface | Reduces FPGA pin count usage - only CLK, DATA, CE, and RESET/OE required for full configuration control |
| Cascadable architecture | Enables multi-FPGA systems or large bitstreams using CEO-to-CE daisy-chain without additional glue logic |
| Programmable reset polarity | Supports direct connection to FPGA INIT (active-Low) or system reset (active-High) without external inverters |
| Low-power CMOS process | 350 µA standby current extends battery life in portable FPGA-based instruments and field-deployed controllers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar configuration PROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC1702LVQ44C | Same 2 Mbit capacity and 3.3V operation, but in 44-pin VQFP package with 0.8 mm pitch; 100 µA lower standby current (250 µA) | VQFP offers finer pitch and better thermal dissipation; less robust for high-vibration environments than PLCC | Select when board space is constrained and reflow soldering is available; avoid in mechanically stressed industrial enclosures |
| XC1701LPC44C | 1 Mbit capacity (half), same PC44 package and 3.3V specs; identical AC timing and pinout except reduced memory depth | Suitable only for smaller FPGAs like XC4020XL/XLA or XCV100E; cannot store XC4062XL/XLA bitstreams | Choose for cost-sensitive designs using sub-1Mbit FPGAs; maintains PCB layout compatibility for easy capacity downgrade |
Compared with XC1702LVQ44C and XC1701LPC44C, the XC1702LPC44C uniquely balances mechanical ruggedness (PLCC), full 2 Mbit capacity for mid-tier Xilinx FPGAs, and field-proven reliability in commercial-temperature industrial control systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum configuration clock frequency supported by the XC1702LPC44C?
The XC1702LPC44C supports a minimum clock period (TCYC) of 67 ns, enabling a maximum configuration clock frequency of approximately 14.9 MHz. This is derived from the AC specification TCYC min = 67 ns under commercial conditions (0°C to +70°C) with 3.0–3.6 V supply. The actual achievable rate depends on FPGA CCLK driver strength and PCB trace length.
Can the XC1702LPC44C be used with 5V FPGAs?
No, the XC1702LPC44C is a 3.3V-only device (XC1700L series) and is not rated for 5V operation. It must be powered from a 3.0–3.6 V supply. Using it with 5V FPGAs requires level-shifting on CLK, DATA, CE, and RESET/OE signals - but Xilinx does not recommend or characterize this configuration. Use XC1702E-series PROMs for 5V systems.
How is the RESET/OE polarity programmed on the XC1702LPC44C?
The RESET/OE polarity is programmed during device programming using Xilinx Alliance or Foundation software and a compatible programmer (e.g., HW-130). The default is active-High RESET, but active-Low OE is preferred for direct connection to FPGA INIT. Third-party programmers implement polarity inversion differently; consult the programmer's documentation for XC1700L-specific setup.
What happens if VPP is left floating on the XC1702LPC44C during normal operation?
If VPP is left floating during read operation, the XC1702LPC44C may exhibit unpredictable, temperature-dependent timing behavior and severe debugging difficulties. The datasheet mandates connecting VPP to VCC for stable operation. Failure to do so risks incorrect data output or intermittent configuration failure, especially at temperature extremes.
Is the XC1702LPC44C pin-compatible with other XC1700L series PROMs in the same package?
Yes, all XC1700L-series devices in the 44-pin PLCC (PC44) package - including XC1701LPC44C, XC1702LPC44C, XC1704LPC44C, and XC17512LPC44C - share identical pinouts and electrical characteristics. They differ only in configuration bit capacity and corresponding memory depth, enabling drop-in replacements where bitstream size permits.
