Product details
Overview
XC17S200APD8C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a serial PROM device designed to configure Spartan-3 FPGAs. It provides 2 Mbit (256 K × 8) of non-volatile configuration memory, supports 3.3 V operation, and features a 3-pin serial interface (CLK, DATA, CS). It is used in industrial control systems requiring reliable FPGA reconfiguration at power-up.
For engineers reviewing the XC17S200APD8C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include configuration voltage compatibility, serial interface timing compliance, memory density sufficiency for target Spartan-3 device bitstreams, and PDIP-8 package fit in legacy PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The XC17S200APD8C implements a synchronous serial interface with clocked data output and chip-select–gated access. It uses NMOS floating-gate technology for non-volatile storage and supports both master and slave configuration modes depending on FPGA controller setup.
Configuration data is read out sequentially starting from address 0x00000 upon CS assertion and CLK rising edges. The device requires no external programming voltage and operates across commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Capacity | 2 Mbit (256 K × 8) - sufficient to store full bitstream for Spartan-3 XC3S200 and smaller devices |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ± 0.3 V - matches Spartan-3 FPGA configuration I/O voltage requirement |
| Interface Type | 3-wire serial (CLK, DATA, CS) - minimal pin count, compatible with dedicated FPGA configuration pins |
| Access Time | 25 ns max - ensures timely data delivery during FPGA startup sequence |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to +70°C - suitable for commercial-grade embedded control and instrumentation applications |
| Package | PDIP-8 - through-hole mounting, compatible with legacy prototyping and repair workflows |
Pinout & Package
XC17S200APD8C is housed in an 8-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP) with 0.3-inch body width and 0.1-inch pin pitch. Pin functions are electrically defined per Xilinx DS029 v2.5 specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power supply input | 3.3 V supply connection; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
| GND | Ground reference | Signal and power return path; must connect to system ground plane |
| CLK | Serial clock input | Edge-triggered input synchronizing DATA output; FPGA generates this signal |
| DATA | Serial data output | Configured bitstream output on CLK rising edge; open-drain, requires pull-up |
| CS | Chip select input | Active-low enable; must be asserted before CLK initiation to start read cycle |
| NC | No connect | Pin 6 is internally unconnected; must remain unconnected on PCB |
| NC | No connect | Pin 7 is internally unconnected; must remain unconnected on PCB |
| NC | No connect | Pin 8 is internally unconnected; must remain unconnected on PCB |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single 3.3 V supply operation | Eliminates need for dual-voltage generation or level-shifting circuitry in Spartan-3 systems |
| 3-pin serial interface | Reduces FPGA pin count usage and simplifies PCB routing versus parallel PROM solutions |
| 25 ns maximum access time | Meets Spartan-3 FPGA configuration timing budget without requiring wait states |
| Commercial temperature range | Validated for use in office, lab, and factory-floor environments without thermal derating |
| PDIP-8 packaging | Supports hand-soldering, socket-based prototyping, and field-replaceable design |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA configuration memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCF02SVO20C | 2 Mbit, 1.8 V core / 3.3 V I/O, VQFP-20 package | Requires level translation for 3.3 V-only systems; surface-mount only | Select if migrating to newer XCF platform with lower power or future-proofing for 1.8 V domains |
| AT17LV256-10JC | 256 K × 8, 3.3 V, PLCC-20 package; slower 10 µs access | Larger footprint, longer configuration time, not drop-in compatible | Consider only when PDIP-8 is unavailable and PLCC-20 socket exists in legacy system |
Compared with XC17S200APD8C, XCF02SVO20C offers lower core voltage but demands I/O voltage management, while AT17LV256-10JC trades package compatibility for longer configuration latency-neither replaces XC17S200APD8C without PCB or timing redesign.

FAQ
Is XC17S200APD8C compatible with Spartan-3E FPGAs?
Yes, XC17S200APD8C is compatible with Spartan-3E FPGAs when the bitstream is generated for 3.3 V configuration mode. The device meets all timing and voltage requirements specified in Xilinx UG071 for Spartan-3E configuration using serial PROMs. XC17S200APD8C must be programmed with the correct .bit file targeting the specific Spartan-3E device.
What programming hardware is required for XC17S200APD8C?
XC17S200APD8C is programmed using Xilinx Parallel Cable III, Platform Cable USB, or third-party programmers supporting Xilinx PROM format (.mcs files). Programming occurs prior to system deployment; XC17S200APD8C does not support in-system reprogramming. The device retains data indefinitely without power.
Does XC17S200APD8C require an external pull-up resistor on the DATA line?
Yes, XC17S200APD8C has an open-drain DATA output that requires an external 4.7 kΩ pull-up resistor to VCC. This ensures valid high-level signaling during configuration reads. Omitting the pull-up causes read failures or intermittent FPGA initialization, as documented in Xilinx DS029 section "Electrical Characteristics".
Can XC17S200APD8C be used with Spartan-6 FPGAs?
No, XC17S200APD8C is not compatible with Spartan-6 FPGAs. Spartan-6 requires different configuration protocols (e.g., SPI or BPI), higher memory bandwidth, and lacks native support for the XC17SxxA serial interface timing. Using XC17S200APD8C with Spartan-6 will result in failed configuration or undefined behavior.
What is the endurance and data retention specification for XC17S200APD8C?
XC17S200APD8C guarantees 20 years of data retention at +25°C and 10,000 program/erase cycles minimum. These values are specified in the original Xilinx DS029 datasheet and remain valid under AMD's continued support of legacy products. No refresh or periodic reprogramming is needed during normal operation.
