Product details
Overview
XC17S200AVQ44C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a configuration PROM designed to store and load bitstream data for Spartan-2 FPGAs. It provides 2 Mbit serial configuration memory, operates at 3.3 V supply, supports JTAG and master serial mode, and features programmable security bit. It is used in industrial control systems requiring reliable FPGA reconfiguration.
For engineers reviewing the XC17S200AVQ44C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key considerations include serial configuration interface compatibility, 3.3 V I/O voltage tolerance, security bit programming capability, and VQ44 package thermal and layout constraints.
Technical Context
The XC17S200AVQ44C implements a one-time programmable (OTP) serial PROM architecture optimized for Spartan-2 FPGA configuration. It uses CMOS EEPROM technology with internal charge pump for programming and supports both synchronous and asynchronous read modes.
Configuration data is accessed via a 4-wire serial interface (CLK, DATA, CS, WRITE). The device includes an internal power-on reset circuit and supports boundary-scan testing through IEEE 1149.1-compliant JTAG pins when used in system-programmable configurations.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA configuration PROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCF02SVO20C | 2 Mbit serial PROM, but uses newer XCF family architecture with 1.8 V/3.3 V dual-voltage I/O support | Designed for Spartan-3 and later FPGAs; lacks native JTAG boundary-scan support in legacy mode | Preferred for new designs targeting Spartan-3+; not drop-in compatible due to different timing and command set |
| AT17LV010A-10JU | 1 Mbit capacity, 3.3 V only, supports in-system programmability (ISP) via JTAG | Lower density limits use to smaller Spartan-2 devices (e.g., XC2S15/XC2S30); no security bit | Valid alternative if bitstream size ≤ 1 Mbit and read-protection is not required |
Compared with XCF02SVO20C and AT17LV010A-10JU, the XC17S200AVQ44C offers guaranteed Spartan-2 timing compliance, integrated JTAG boundary-scan, and hardware-enforced security - critical for legacy industrial deployments where FPGA family and configuration protocol are fixed.

FAQ
Is XC17S200AVQ44C compatible with Spartan-3 FPGAs?
No, XC17S200AVQ44C is not compatible with Spartan-3 FPGAs. It is specifically timed and electrically characterized for Spartan-2 devices. Spartan-3 requires XCF-series PROMs such as XCF02S due to differences in configuration clock setup/hold timing and command protocol.
Does XC17S200AVQ44C support in-system programming (ISP)?
No, XC17S200AVQ44C does not support in-system programming. It is a one-time programmable (OTP) device requiring external 12.5 V programming voltage applied to the WRITE pin. Once programmed, the bitstream cannot be altered or erased.
What is the function of the WRITE pin on XC17S200AVQ44C?
The WRITE pin on XC17S200AVQ44C is a high-voltage programming enable input. During normal operation, it must be held low (≤ 0.4 V). To program the device, 12.5 V ± 0.5 V must be applied to this pin while applying appropriate clock and data sequences per the Xilinx XC17Sxx datasheet.
Can the security bit on XC17S200AVQ44C be disabled after programming?
No, the security bit on XC17S200AVQ44C is one-time programmable and irreversible. Once set, it permanently disables readback of the stored bitstream. There is no mechanism to clear or disable the security bit after programming.
What package type does XC17S200AVQ44C use?
XC17S200AVQ44C uses a 44-pin Very Thin Quad Flatpack (VQFP) package, designated VQ44. It has 0.8 mm lead pitch, 10 mm × 10 mm body size, and an exposed thermal pad on the underside for improved heat dissipation in compact industrial layouts.
