Product details
Overview
XC17S20XLVO8I from AMD is a serial configuration PROM designed for Xilinx Spartan-XL FPGAs, providing 2 Mbit storage capacity, 5 V supply voltage compatibility, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It enables reliable bitstream loading in embedded control and industrial automation systems.
For engineers reviewing the XC17S20XLVO8I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include voltage compatibility with legacy 5 V FPGA systems, single-supply operation, JEDEC-standard SOIC-8 package footprint, and guaranteed data retention over 20 years.
Technical Context
This PROM uses NMOS technology with CMOS-compatible inputs and TTL-compatible outputs, supporting serial configuration via Xilinx's SelectMAP and master serial modes. It features built-in power-on reset circuitry and automatic address incrementing during read cycles.
Timing is characterized at 5 V and –40°C to +85°C, with maximum access time of 15 ns and typical read current of 10 mA. The device lacks internal voltage regulation and requires stable 4.5–5.5 V supply for valid operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2 Mbit (256 K × 8) - supports full bitstream storage for Spartan-XL devices up to XC17S20XL density |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - compatible with legacy 5 V FPGA configuration buses without level shifting |
| Access Time | 15 ns max - ensures timing margin for high-speed serial configuration clocks up to 33 MHz |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control and factory-floor environments |
| Data Retention | 20 years min - guarantees long-term reliability in unattended embedded systems |
| Package | SOIC-8 (JEDEC MS-012AA) - surface-mount footprint matching Xilinx reference designs |
Pinout & Package
XC17S20XLVO8I is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package with standard JEDEC MS-012AA dimensions (4.9 mm × 3.9 mm, 1.27 mm pitch).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Address Input | LSB of 18-bit address bus; used only in parallel mode (not applicable in default serial config) |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low enable controlling device output drivers and internal logic activation |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low control for tri-stating data outputs during read operations |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary 5 V supply input; must be decoupled within 1 cm of pin per Xilinx layout guidelines |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all I/O and core logic; requires low-inductance connection |
| D0 | Data Output | Serial data output pin delivering configuration bitstream LSB-first to FPGA DIN |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low signal disabling write operations; tied high in standard configuration use |
| VPP | Programming Voltage | 5 V input required only during PROM programming; not used in normal operation |

FAQ
Is XC17S20XLVO8I compatible with Xilinx Spartan-XL FPGAs?
Yes, XC17S20XLVO8I is explicitly designed for Xilinx Spartan-XL FPGAs including XC17S10XL, XC17S15XL, XC17S20XL, and XC17S30XL. It delivers the full 2 Mbit bitstream in serial mode with timing compliant to Spartan-XL configuration specifications.
What is the maximum configuration clock frequency supported by XC17S20XLVO8I?
XC17S20XLVO8I supports configuration clock frequencies up to 33 MHz, derived from its 15 ns access time and serial read timing parameters. This meets the maximum CCLK specification for Spartan-XL FPGAs in master serial mode.
Does XC17S20XLVO8I require external programming voltage during normal operation?
No, XC17S20XLVO8I uses VPP = 5 V only during programming. In normal configuration mode, VPP is tied to VCC and plays no active role. The device operates fully from a single 5 V supply during FPGA startup and read cycles.
Can XC17S20XLVO8I be reprogrammed in-circuit?
No, XC17S20XLVO8I is one-time programmable (OTP). Reprogramming requires removal from the board and use of a dedicated PROM programmer applying 5 V to VPP. Field updates are not supported without physical replacement.
What is the recommended decoupling for XC17S20XLVO8I?
Xilinx recommends a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 1 cm of the VCC pin and a 4.7 µF tantalum capacitor near the power entry point. This ensures stable voltage during fast current transients during serial read bursts from XC17S20XLVO8I.
