Product details
Overview
XC17S200AVQ44I from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a configuration PROM designed to store and serially load bitstream data into Spartan-II FPGAs. It provides 200 kbit of OTP memory, operates at 5 V, supports serial configuration mode, and features a 44-pin VQFP package. It is used in industrial control systems requiring reliable FPGA reprogramming during power-up.
For engineers reviewing the XC17S200AVQ44I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include OTP memory size, 5 V supply compatibility, serial interface timing, VQFP-44 mechanical footprint, and Spartan-II FPGA configuration protocol compliance.
Technical Context
The XC17S200AVQ44I implements a synchronous serial interface compatible with Xilinx Spartan-II FPGA configuration protocols. It uses CMOS OTP technology with guaranteed 10-year data retention and supports both master and slave serial configuration modes.
It features programmable output drive strength, built-in power-on reset circuitry, and a dedicated PROGRAM pin for reinitialization. Timing parameters include tCSS (CS setup) ≤ 20 ns and tCSH (CS hold) ≥ 10 ns at 5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Type | One-Time Programmable (OTP) EPROM - non-volatile, irreversible programming after initial burn-in. |
| Total Memory Size | 200 kbit (25 kbytes) - sufficient to store full bitstream for Spartan-II XC2S15 through XC2S100 devices. |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - requires standard 5 V logic rail; not compatible with 3.3 V or mixed-voltage systems without level shifting. |
| Interface Mode | Serial (SPI-compatible clock/data) - uses single bidirectional DATA pin and dedicated CLK/CS pins for FPGA configuration handshake. |
| Access Time | Max 150 ns - ensures timing margin for Spartan-II configuration clock frequencies up to 10 MHz. |
| Package | 44-pin VQFP (10 × 10 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) - surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, thermally enhanced for reflow soldering. |
Pinout & Package
XC17S200AVQ44I is housed in a 44-pin Very Thin Quad Flat Pack (VQFP) with exposed thermal pad. Pin assignments follow Xilinx configuration PROM standard layout for Spartan family support.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 | GND | Ground reference for all I/O and core logic; 22 pins ensure low-impedance return path for serial interface noise immunity. |
| 44, 43, 42, 41, 40, 39, 38, 37, 36, 35, 34, 33, 32, 31, 30, 29, 28, 27, 26, 25, 24, 23 | VCC | 5 V power supply input; 22 dedicated VCC pins provide stable core and I/O voltage under dynamic FPGA configuration current surge. |
| DATA | Bi-directional Serial Data | Single-wire serial interface pin - outputs configuration data to FPGA during read; accepts program data during initial burn-in. |
| CLK | Configuration Clock Input | Asynchronous clock input synchronized internally; drives serial shift register timing; max frequency 10 MHz per Xilinx spec. |
| CS | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable for serial access; must be asserted before CLK edge to initiate valid read cycle per timing window. |
| PROGRAM | Re-initialization Control | Active-low signal that resets internal address counter and forces re-read of first byte upon next CS assertion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| OTP Memory Architecture | Guaranteed one-time programming with no risk of accidental overwrite - eliminates need for write-protect logic in system design. |
| Programmable Drive Strength | Selectable output current via external resistor - enables optimization for trace length and FPGA input capacitance without signal integrity compromise. |
| Power-On Reset Circuitry | Internal POR generates clean CS deassertion delay - ensures FPGA starts configuration only after PROM power stabilizes, preventing bitstream corruption. |
| Spartan-II Protocol Compliance | Fully aligned with Xilinx XAPP151 and XAPP372 configuration timing - eliminates need for custom FPGA initialization firmware or glue logic. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Configuration | Test Equipment Bitstream Storage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Fixed-function logic in programmable logic controllers requires deterministic FPGA startup after power cycling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Configuration PROM providing serialized bitstream to Spartan-II FPGA on power-up. Use Value: Ensures repeatable, glitch-free FPGA initialization without host processor involvement or external memory controller. | Use Scenario: Automated test equipment stores multiple FPGA configurations for different DUT interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-volatile storage for field-upgradable FPGA bitstreams accessed via JTAG or dedicated configuration port. Use Value: Enables rapid reconfiguration between test modes using pre-programmed OTP images, reducing test cycle time. |
| Legacy Communication Interface Module | Avionics Subsystem Boot Loader |
Use Scenario: RS-485/RS-232 protocol translation modules use FPGA-based transceivers requiring fixed startup behavior. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary boot source for Spartan-II FPGA implementing physical layer logic and framing control. Use Value: Delivers deterministic timing alignment between FPGA clock domain and serial bus timing requirements. | Use Scenario: Ruggedized avionics subsystems require radiation-tolerant, long-lifetime configuration storage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Trusted boot ROM for FPGA-based flight control logic with verified bitstream integrity. Use Value: Provides tamper-resistant, unalterable configuration image meeting DO-254 Level A hardware assurance requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA configuration PROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC17S200AFTG44C | Same 200 kbit OTP memory and 5 V operation, but in 44-pin FTBGA package with different pinout and thermal characteristics. | Requires PCB redesign due to BGA mounting, reflow profile, and lack of exposed pad; unsuitable for legacy VQFP layouts. | Select only when new board design allows BGA placement and thermal management per Xilinx DS029. |
| XC17S100AVQ44I | 100 kbit capacity, identical VQFP-44 package, same timing and interface - pin-compatible subset with reduced memory. | Supports smaller Spartan-II devices (XC2S15/XC2S30); insufficient for XC2S50+ bitstreams. | Choose when FPGA resource usage fits within 100 kbit and cost reduction is prioritized over future scalability. |
Compared with XC17S200AVQ44I, the FTBGA alternative demands layout changes and thermal validation, while the 100 kbit variant trades memory headroom for lower unit cost - neither offers drop-in replacement without design review.

FAQ
Is XC17S200AVQ44I still in production?
No - XC17S200AVQ44I is obsolete per AMD/Xilinx Product Change Notification PCN-02-001. Aetrix Electronics supplies remaining factory-new inventory with full traceability and offers lifecycle management support for legacy designs dependent on XC17S200AVQ44I.
Can XC17S200AVQ44I be reprogrammed after initial programming?
No - XC17S200AVQ44I uses One-Time Programmable EPROM technology. Once programmed, the memory contents cannot be erased or rewritten. Each XC17S200AVQ44I device must be programmed correctly during first-time burn-in, as field updates are not supported.
What is the operating temperature range for XC17S200AVQ44I?
XC17S200AVQ44I is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40 °C to +85 °C. This range is validated per Xilinx DS029 specification and applies to both configuration read cycles and power-on reset behavior across the full voltage tolerance band.
Does XC17S200AVQ44I support boundary-scan or JTAG programming?
No - XC17S200AVQ44I does not implement IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan. Programming is performed exclusively via the serial DATA/CLK/CS interface using Xilinx impact or third-party PROM programmers compliant with XC17SxxA timing specifications.
How does the PROGRAM pin function in XC17S200AVQ44I?
The PROGRAM pin on XC17S200AVQ44I is an active-low asynchronous reset that clears the internal address counter and forces restart from byte zero on the next valid CS assertion. It enables controlled re-initialization without power cycling, critical for FPGA recovery sequences in XC17S200AVQ44I-based systems.
