Product details
Overview
XC17128EPC20I from AMD is a 128 kbit serial configuration PROM designed for Xilinx FPGA configuration in industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C), featuring 5 V supply voltage, 15 ns access time, and SOIC-20 package. It stores bitstream data to initialize Spartan, Virtex, and Artix FPGAs during power-up.
For engineers reviewing the XC17128EPC20I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include industrial-grade temperature operation, 5 V single-supply compatibility, 15 ns read access timing, and SOIC-20 footprint alignment with legacy Xilinx configuration memory requirements.
Technical Context
This PROM implements serial address/data interface with CE#, OE#, and WE# control lines, supporting standard Xilinx configuration protocols including Master Serial and SelectMAP modes. It uses NMOS technology with TTL-compatible I/O levels and requires no external programming voltage.
Configuration data is loaded on power-up via dedicated FPGA INIT_B and CCLK signals; the device supports both synchronous and asynchronous read operations, with output enable controlled by OE# independent of chip enable status.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 128 kbit (16 K × 8) - provides full bitstream storage for mid-complexity Xilinx FPGAs such as XC3S200 or XC2V1000. |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - compatible with legacy 5 V FPGA configuration circuits without level-shifting. |
| Access Time | 15 ns - meets timing budget for 33 MHz CCLK-based configuration in Master Serial mode. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and outdoor telecom equipment. |
| Package | SOIC-20 (300 mil) - matches footprint of Xilinx XC17S100, XC17V16, and other legacy PROMs for drop-in replacement. |
| Interface | Serial address/data bus with CE#, OE#, WE# - enables direct connection to FPGA configuration pins without glue logic. |
Pinout & Package
XC17128EPC20I is housed in a 20-pin plastic small-outline integrated circuit (SOIC-20) package with 300-mil body width and standard 1.27 mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; the package is RoHS-compliant and lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A13 | Address Inputs | 14-bit address bus selects one of 16,384 bytes; tied low or decoded externally for fixed-address boot. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Input/Output | Bidirectional 8-bit data path; driven by FPGA during configuration write or readback verification. |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low enable; must be asserted before OE# or WE# to activate internal memory array. |
| OE# | Output Enable | Controls data bus drivers; allows shared bus operation with other devices when deasserted. |
| WE# | Write Enable | Enables programming mode; held high during FPGA configuration read operation. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply input; bypass capacitor required within 1 cm of pin per Xilinx AN11. |
| GND | Ground | Reference return for all digital and power signals; connected to system ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Industrial Temperature Range | Supports reliable FPGA configuration in uncontrolled ambient environments without thermal derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA configuration memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCF01SVO20C | 1 Mbit capacity, 3.3 V supply, 10 ns access, VQFP-20 package. | Requires voltage translation in 5 V systems; supports larger FPGAs like XC3S4000. | Choose when upgrading to higher-density FPGAs and migrating to 3.3 V infrastructure. |
| AT17LV010-10JU | 1 Mbit, 3.3 V/2.5 V dual-supply, 10 ns, TSSOP-20 package. | Not pin-compatible; lacks CE#/WE# control for legacy Xilinx Master Serial mode. | Select only for new designs targeting 3.3 V platforms with updated configuration controller firmware. |
Compared with XC17128EPC20I, XCF01SVO20C offers higher density and faster access but mandates 3.3 V operation, while AT17LV010-10JU provides dual-voltage flexibility at the cost of protocol compatibility and pinout mismatch-neither serves as a drop-in replacement in existing 5 V industrial FPGA systems.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the XC17128EPC20I in an FPGA-based system?
The XC17128EPC20I serves as a nonvolatile configuration memory that stores and delivers the FPGA bitstream during power-up. It interfaces directly with Xilinx FPGAs via Master Serial or SelectMAP protocols. The XC17128EPC20I ensures deterministic initialization without external controllers and maintains configuration integrity across power cycles in industrial environments.
Does the XC17128EPC20I support in-system programming?
No, the XC17128EPC20I is a one-time programmable (OTP) PROM and does not support in-system programming. Programming requires a dedicated PROM programmer prior to soldering. The XC17128EPC20I is intended for fixed, field-deployed configurations where bitstream updates are performed by replacing the device or using external reconfiguration logic.
Can the XC17128EPC20I be used with modern Xilinx 7-series FPGAs?
No, the XC17128EPC20I is not compatible with 7-series FPGAs, which require SPI-based configuration and support only XCFxx or platform flash devices. The XC17128EPC20I targets legacy families including Spartan-II, Virtex-E, and early Spartan-3 devices with parallel/serial configuration interfaces.
What is the significance of the 'I' suffix in XC17128EPC20I?
The 'I' suffix in XC17128EPC20I denotes Industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C). This distinguishes it from commercial-grade variants (e.g., XC17128EPC20C) and confirms qualification for operation in harsher thermal environments typical of factory automation, outdoor base stations, and transportation electronics.
Is the XC17128EPC20I RoHS compliant?
Yes, the XC17128EPC20I is RoHS compliant and lead-free, meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. The SOIC-20 package uses matte tin lead finish and conforms to JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3, supporting standard reflow profiles without special handling.
