Product details
Overview
XC17S150AVO8C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a serial configuration PROM designed to store and load configuration bitstreams for Spartan-3 FPGAs. It provides 150 kbit of OTP memory, operates at 3.3 V supply, supports 33 MHz read speed, and uses an 8-pin SOIC package. It is used in industrial control systems requiring reliable FPGA reconfiguration.
For engineers reviewing the XC17S150AVO8C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include OTP memory capacity, 3.3 V compatibility, SOIC-8 footprint, read access time, and Spartan-3 FPGA configuration support.
Technical Context
The XC17S150AVO8C implements a serial interface compliant with Xilinx's standard PROM configuration protocol for Spartan-3 devices. It features a single power supply (3.3 V ±10%), no internal voltage regulation, and requires external pull-up on DATA pin during configuration.
It lacks write-enable logic after programming - the device is one-time programmable and does not support erase or reprogramming. Timing parameters are specified over commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and assume synchronous read operation with CE# and OE# asserted.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Capacity | 150 kbit (18,750 bytes) - stores full configuration bitstream for mid-size Spartan-3 FPGAs like XC3S1000. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ±10% - matches Spartan-3 core I/O voltage; no level-shifting required. |
| Max Read Speed | 33 MHz - enables fast FPGA startup; tACC = 25 ns typical. |
| Package | 8-pin SOIC (SO-8), 150 mil width - industry-standard footprint compatible with automated assembly. |
| Programming Type | One-Time Programmable (OTP) - programmed once via Xilinx impact tool; no field reprogrammability. |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to +70°C - rated for commercial-grade embedded applications, not extended or industrial temp. |
Pinout & Package
XC17S150AVO8C 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 DS054 v2.5 specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Address Input | LSB of internal address bus; tied low for fixed-start configuration sequence. |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low enable; must be held low during FPGA configuration read cycle. |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output control; synchronized with CE# for valid data output. |
| DATA | Serial Data Output | CMOS-compatible open-drain output; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 4.7 kΩ). |
| VCC | Power Supply | 3.3 V supply input; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF) required near pin. |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all digital signals and supply. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| OTP Configuration Memory | Ensures bitstream integrity and prevents accidental overwrite in deployed systems. |
| 3.3 V Only Operation | Eliminates need for dual-supply design or level translators when interfacing with Spartan-3 FPGAs. |
| SOIC-8 Footprint | Enables use in space-constrained PCB layouts while supporting standard reflow soldering processes. |
| 25 ns Access Time | Reduces FPGA configuration time by minimizing wait states during bitstream loading. |
Applications
| Industrial PLCs | Test Equipment Controllers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Reconfigurable logic modules in programmable logic controllers require persistent, tamper-resistant bitstream storage between power cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Nonvolatile configuration PROM providing deterministic FPGA initialization at power-on. Use Value: Ensures repeatable system behavior without host processor intervention or external configuration source. | Use Scenario: Automated test equipment uses Spartan-3 FPGAs for real-time signal generation and analysis; field upgrades require verified, unalterable configuration images. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One-time programmable bitstream loader enabling secure, version-controlled FPGA deployment. Use Value: Prevents runtime corruption and eliminates need for external flash management firmware. |
| Medical Imaging Interfaces | Avionics Data Acquisition Units |
Use Scenario: FPGA-based image preprocessing pipelines in diagnostic ultrasound systems demand reliable boot-time configuration under strict EMI constraints. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serial configuration PROM delivering bitstream directly to Spartan-3 configuration port with minimal noise coupling. Use Value: Reduces BOM count versus parallel PROMs and avoids clock-domain crossing issues in timing-critical imaging chains. | Use Scenario: Ruggedized flight data recorders use Spartan-3 FPGAs for sensor aggregation; configuration must survive thermal cycling and vibration without degradation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Radiation-tolerant (non-FLASH) OTP memory ensuring long-term bitstream retention in avionics environments. Use Value: Provides >10-year data retention without refresh, meeting DO-254 functional safety requirements for configuration integrity. |
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 capacity, 1.8 V core, 20-pin TSSOP; supports in-system programming (ISP) via JTAG. | Targeted for newer Spartan-3E and Virtex-4 FPGAs; requires different voltage rail and board layout. | Select when field reprogrammability and higher density are required; not drop-in compatible. |
| XC17S100AVO8C | 100 kbit capacity, identical 3.3 V SOIC-8 package and timing; same OTP architecture and pinout. | Suitable for smaller Spartan-3 devices (e.g., XC3S200); lower cost where bitstream fits. | Valid pin-compatible alternative if design uses ≤100 kbit configuration data. |
Compared with XC17S150AVO8C, XCF01SVO20C offers field upgrade capability but demands hardware redesign, while XC17S100AVO8C provides true footprint and timing compatibility at reduced density - making it the only viable direct substitution within the same family.

FAQ
Is XC17S150AVO8C reprogrammable?
No, XC17S150AVO8C is a one-time programmable (OTP) PROM. Once programmed using Xilinx Impact software and a compatible programmer, the bitstream cannot be erased or rewritten. This ensures configuration integrity in production systems but precludes field updates. XC17S150AVO8C relies on fuse-based memory technology, not flash or EEPROM.
What FPGA families is XC17S150AVO8C compatible with?
XC17S150AVO8C is explicitly designed for Spartan-3 FPGAs including XC3S50, XC3S200, XC3S400, XC3S1000, and XC3S1500. It is not compatible with Spartan-3E, Spartan-6, or Virtex families due to differences in configuration protocol timing and command sets. Always verify bitstream size against the 150 kbit capacity before selecting XC17S150AVO8C.
Does XC17S150AVO8C require external components for operation?
Yes, XC17S150AVO8C requires a 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor between VCC and GND, placed as close as possible to the pins. The DATA output also requires an external pull-up resistor (typically 4.7 kΩ) to VCC. No other active components or level shifters are needed, as XC17S150AVO8C operates natively at 3.3 V.
What is the maximum operating frequency for XC17S150AVO8C read operations?
The maximum guaranteed read clock frequency for XC17S150AVO8C is 33 MHz, corresponding to a 25 ns address access time (tACC) under commercial temperature conditions. This timing allows full synchronization with Spartan-3 configuration clocks. Exceeding 33 MHz may result in invalid data output and failed FPGA configuration.
Can XC17S150AVO8C be used in industrial temperature range applications?
No, XC17S150AVO8C is rated only for the commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C). It is not characterized or guaranteed for operation at –40°C to +85°C. For industrial temperature applications, consider alternatives such as the XCFxx series with extended temp grade or consult AMD/Xilinx for qualified replacements - XC17S150AVO8C does not meet industrial thermal specifications.
