Product details
Overview
XC17S10VO8C from AMD is a serial configuration PROM designed for Xilinx Spartan-2 FPGAs, providing 1 Mbit (128K × 8) nonvolatile storage in an 8-pin SOIC package with 5V operation and 10 MHz read access time. It supports master serial mode configuration of XC2S10 and related devices in industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the XC17S10VO8C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include voltage compatibility (5V only), serial interface timing, industrial-grade temperature rating, FPGA configuration sequence support, and SOIC-8 footprint constraints.
Technical Context
This device implements a synchronous serial interface compliant with Xilinx configuration protocol for master serial mode, requiring no external clock generation. It delivers data on the rising edge of the configuration clock (CCLK) and supports power-on auto-configuration initiation when connected to compatible Spartan-2 FPGAs.
The XC17S10VO8C uses NMOS floating-gate technology for nonvolatile storage, enabling indefinite data retention without backup power. Its internal state machine handles address sequencing and output enable control without host processor intervention during FPGA startup.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Mbit (128K × 8) - stores full bitstream for XC2S10 and smaller Spartan-2 FPGAs |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - requires dedicated 5V rail; not 3.3V tolerant |
| Access Time | 10 MHz max CCLK frequency - sets upper limit on FPGA configuration speed |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environment deployment |
| Package | 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) - 150-mil width, standard footprint for board-level integration |
| Data Retention | 20 years minimum - guaranteed nonvolatile storage without refresh or power |
Pinout & Package
XC17S10VO8C is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package with 150-mil body width and standard gull-wing leads. Pin functions are defined per Xilinx configuration protocol.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Address Input | LSB of internal address counter; tied low for fixed-start configuration |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low enable; must be asserted before CCLK starts configuration |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low control for DATA pin driver; synchronized with CCLK |
| DATA | Serial Data Output | Configured bitstream output; driven only when CE# and OE# are active |
| CCLK | Configuration Clock | Input clock from FPGA; controls timing of DATA output edges |
| VCC | Power Supply | 5V supply input; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and power |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 1 is unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Master Serial Mode Support | Directly interfaces with XC2S10 CCLK and DIN pins without level shifters or glue logic |
| Industrial Temperature Range | Enables use in programmable logic systems deployed in factory automation or outdoor enclosures |
| 5V-Only Operation | Simplifies power architecture by eliminating dual-voltage regulation for configuration memory |
| SOIC-8 Footprint | Reduces PCB area vs. PLCC packages and supports automated assembly with standard pick-and-place |
| Auto-Initiation on Power-Up | Starts configuration sequence automatically when FPGA asserts CCLK after reset, reducing firmware overhead |

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, 3.3V-only supply, 20-pin TSSOP package, supports XCFxx family protocol | Requires voltage translation for 5V FPGA systems; incompatible pinout and protocol timing | Select only for new 3.3V Spartan-2 designs with XCF-compatible configuration controller |
| AT17LV010-10JU | 1 Mbit, 3.3V/2.5V dual-supply, 20-pin SOIC, Atmel protocol variant | Not pin-compatible; requires FPGA reconfiguration controller firmware update | Use when migrating to lower-voltage systems or consolidating with Atmel-based BOMs |
Compared with XCF01SVO20C and AT17LV010-10JU, the XC17S10VO8C uniquely supports direct 5V master-serial interfacing with XC2S10 without level shifting, leverages minimal SOIC-8 footprint, and maintains full timing compliance with original Xilinx specification.

FAQ
Is XC17S10VO8C compatible with Spartan-3 or Spartan-6 FPGAs?
No, XC17S10VO8C is specifically designed for Spartan-2 FPGAs including XC2S10. It does not support Spartan-3 or Spartan-6 configuration protocols, voltage levels, or timing requirements. Using XC17S10VO8C with newer Spartan families will result in failed configuration or hardware damage due to 5V-only signaling mismatch.
What is the maximum CCLK frequency supported by XC17S10VO8C?
The XC17S10VO8C supports a maximum CCLK frequency of 10 MHz, as specified in the original Xilinx datasheet. This defines the upper bound for configuration speed when used with XC2S10 FPGAs. Exceeding 10 MHz may cause data corruption or incomplete bitstream loading.
Can XC17S10VO8C be reprogrammed in-system?
No, XC17S10VO8C is a one-time programmable (OTP) PROM. It is factory-programmed and lacks in-system programming capability. Reprogramming requires physical replacement of the device. Field updates necessitate swapping the XC17S10VO8C unit with a newly programmed part.
Does XC17S10VO8C require external pull-up resistors on its control pins?
Yes, XC17S10VO8C requires external 4.7 kΩ pull-up resistors on CE# and OE# pins to ensure proper high-impedance release during FPGA reset sequences. The DATA pin is actively driven and does not require termination, but CCLK should be routed with controlled impedance per Xilinx layout guidelines.
What is the pin 1 marking convention for XC17S10VO8C?
XC17S10VO8C uses standard SOIC pin 1 identification: a small circular depression or beveled edge on the top surface near pin 1. The device marking "XC17S10VO8C" appears adjacent to pin 1, and the NC (no-connect) terminal is located at pin 1 position per the official Xilinx pinout diagram.
