Product details
Overview
XC17S200APDG8C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a serial configuration PROM designed to store and load configuration bitstreams for Spartan-2 FPGAs. It provides 200 kbit of OTP memory, supports 3.3 V operation, features a 5 MHz serial interface, and is packaged in an 8-pin PDIP. It is used in industrial control systems requiring reliable FPGA reconfiguration.
For engineers reviewing the XC17S200APDG8C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include OTP memory size, 3.3 V supply compatibility, serial clock frequency limit, PDIP-8 mechanical fit, and Spartan-2 FPGA configuration protocol compliance.
Technical Context
This PROM implements a synchronous serial interface aligned with Xilinx Spartan-2 FPGA configuration requirements. It uses CMOS technology, includes internal power-on reset circuitry, and delivers data on the falling edge of the serial clock (SCLK).
Configuration mode is fixed as master serial; no address pins or parallel access are supported. The device lacks write-enable logic after programming - it is one-time programmable and read-only during system operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 200 kbit (25,000 bytes) - stores full configuration bitstream for mid-size Spartan-2 FPGAs like XC2S100. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ± 0.3 V - matches Spartan-2 core I/O voltage, eliminates level-shifting in configuration path. |
| Max Serial Clock | 5 MHz - sets upper bound on configuration speed; typical load time ~40 ms for XC2S100. |
| Programming Method | One-Time Programmable (OTP) - programmed via dedicated PROM programmer before soldering; no in-system reprogramming. |
| Access Time | 25 ns (max) - ensures setup/hold timing margins for SCLK-driven read cycles during FPGA init. |
| Operating Temp | 0 °C to +70 °C - rated for commercial-grade industrial control and test equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin Plastic Dual In-line Package (PDIP), 0.3 inch width, through-hole mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (A0) | Address Input | Not used - internally tied low; device operates in fixed sequential read mode only. |
| 2 (VCC) | Power Supply | +3.3 V supply input; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor near pin. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground | Reference return for VCC and signal pins; connect to system ground plane. |
| 4 (DIN) | Data Input | Serial programming input during PROM programming; no function during FPGA configuration. |
| 5 (DOUT) | Data Output | Active-high serial data output synchronized to SCLK falling edge during FPGA config. |
| 6 (SCLK) | Serial Clock | Input clock driving read timing; FPGA generates this signal during master serial startup. |
| 7 (CE#) | Chip Enable | Active-low enable; must be held low throughout configuration sequence. |
| 8 (OE#) | Output Enable | Active-low output control; tied low permanently for standard FPGA config use. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| OTP Memory Architecture | Prevents accidental reprogramming or corruption; guarantees bitstream integrity over product lifetime. |
| Master Serial Interface | Directly compatible with Spartan-2 FPGA's native configuration mode - no external controller needed. |
| 3.3 V Only Operation | Eliminates dual-supply design complexity and reduces BOM count in 3.3 V FPGA systems. |
| PDIP-8 Footprint | Enables manual prototyping, socket-based rework, and legacy board compatibility without SMT reflow. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Configuration | Test Equipment Bitstream Storage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Reconfiguring Spartan-2 FPGA logic in programmable logic controllers during firmware updates or field calibration. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Nonvolatile configuration storage; delivers bitstream on power-up under FPGA-controlled SCLK timing. Use Value: Ensures deterministic startup behavior and eliminates need for external microcontroller-based configuration management. | Use Scenario: Storing multiple FPGA configurations in automated test equipment for different DUT interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dedicated bitstream source; operates in fixed master serial mode synchronized to FPGA's internal oscillator. Use Value: Reduces configuration latency versus JTAG-based loading and avoids host PC dependency during test execution. |
| Legacy Board FPGA Upgrade | Embedded Instrumentation Boot Loader |
Use Scenario: Retrofitting older 5 V systems with Spartan-2 FPGAs using level-shifted 3.3 V configuration path. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OTP PROM providing guaranteed-read-only bitstream delivery; CE# and OE# support simple enable logic. Use Value: Enables drop-in replacement of obsolete EPROMs while maintaining identical PDIP-8 footprint and timing envelope. | Use Scenario: Initializing FPGA-based signal processing pipelines in portable instrumentation with strict power-on timing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary configuration source activated immediately after VCC stabilization; no software intervention required. Use Value: Achieves sub-100 ms system ready time by eliminating boot code execution and flash read 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC17S200ALV08C | Same 200 kbit capacity and timing, but uses 8-pin SOIC package instead of PDIP. | Requires surface-mount assembly; unsuitable for socketed prototyping or through-hole legacy boards. | Select when board space is constrained and SMT manufacturing is available. |
| XC17S100APDG8C | 100 kbit capacity (half size); otherwise identical pinout, voltage, and interface. | Only supports smaller Spartan-2 devices (e.g., XC2S15); insufficient for XC2S100+ bitstreams. | Choose only if target FPGA configuration file fits within 100 kbit and cost reduction is critical. |
Compared with XC17S200ALV08C and XC17S100APDG8C, the XC17S200APDG8C uniquely combines full 200 kbit capacity with through-hole PDIP-8 packaging - enabling both legacy board compatibility and sufficient storage for larger Spartan-2 FPGAs without redesigning the configuration interface.

FAQ
Is XC17S200APDG8C compatible with Spartan-3 or Spartan-6 FPGAs?
No. The XC17S200APDG8C is specifically designed for Spartan-2 FPGAs. It does not support the configuration protocols, voltage tolerances, or bitstream formats of Spartan-3 or Spartan-6 families. Using it with those devices will result in failed configuration. Always verify FPGA family compatibility in the official Xilinx documentation for XC17S200APDG8C before integration.
Can XC17S200APDG8C be reprogrammed after initial programming?
No. The XC17S200APDG8C is a one-time programmable (OTP) PROM. Its memory cells are permanently fused during programming. There is no erase or rewrite capability. Once programmed, the stored bitstream cannot be altered - making it suitable for production systems where configuration integrity must be guaranteed across the product lifecycle.
What is the recommended decoupling for XC17S200APDG8C?
A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC (pin 2) and GND (pin 3) terminals is required for stable operation. This minimizes power supply noise during serial data reads and ensures timing margin compliance with the 5 MHz SCLK specification for XC17S200APDG8C.
Does XC17S200APDG8C support boundary-scan or JTAG configuration?
No. The XC17S200APDG8C only supports master serial configuration mode. It has no JTAG interface, TDI/TDO pins, or boundary-scan capability. Configuration is initiated solely by the FPGA asserting CE# and generating SCLK - a hardware-driven process independent of JTAG controllers or debug tools used with XC17S200APDG8C.
Is there a lead-free version of XC17S200APDG8C available?
No. The XC17S200APDG8C is a legacy device manufactured prior to RoHS compliance mandates and is only available in a leaded PDIP package. It does not have a Pb-free variant. Designers requiring RoHS compliance must evaluate alternative configuration solutions such as platform-specific flash or newer FPGA-integrated configuration options.
