Product details
Overview
XC17S30APD8C from AMD is a serial configuration PROM designed to store and load configuration bitstreams for Spartan-3 FPGAs. It provides 3 Mbit (3,145,728-bit) storage capacity, supports 3.3 V supply voltage, features 10 MHz serial read access, and uses an 8-pin PDIP package. It is used in FPGA-based industrial control logic systems requiring nonvolatile, single-supply reprogrammable configuration memory.
For engineers reviewing the XC17S30APD8C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include serial interface compatibility with Spartan-3 devices, PDIP-8 mechanical fit in legacy prototyping environments, 3.3 V operation margin, and verified bitstream integrity over temperature.
Technical Context
The XC17S30APD8C implements a synchronous serial interface compliant with Xilinx/AMD FPGA configuration protocols, supporting master serial mode only. It requires no external clock source during configuration load and delivers deterministic timing with tACC ≤ 25 ns and tPU ≤ 100 μs after power-up.
It operates across industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), supports standard JEDEC-compliant programming voltage (12.5 V ±0.5 V), and retains data for ≥20 years at 25°C with ≥10,000 write/erase cycles.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
XC17S30APD8C 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 and mechanically defined per AMD Advance Data Sheet DS009 (Rev. 2.0).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Address input | LSB of 21-bit address bus; tied low for fixed-startup configuration |
| CLK | Serial clock input | Edge-triggered input synchronized to FPGA CCLK during configuration load |
| DIN | Data input | Used only during programming; high-impedance during normal read operation |
| DOUT | Data output | Configured bitstream output active during FPGA master serial mode |
| VCC | Power supply | 3.3 V supply connection; requires local 0.1 μF decoupling capacitor |
| GND | Ground reference | Signal and power ground return path shared with FPGA configuration interface |
| CE | Chip enable | Active-low enable; must be held low for configuration read access |
| OE | Output enable | Active-low control for DOUT driver; tied low in standard FPGA config mode |

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 capacity, 20-pin VSOP package, supports both master and slave serial modes | Requires PCB layout change due to surface-mount package and different pin count | Preferred when higher density or dual-mode configuration flexibility is required |
| XC17S30AFTG8C | Same 3 Mbit capacity and electrical specs, but in 8-pin TSSOP package | Not compatible with through-hole sockets; requires SMT assembly and reflow profile validation | Select when board space constraints necessitate surface-mount packaging |
Compared with XCF02SVO20C and XC17S30AFTG8C, the XC17S30APD8C offers drop-in compatibility with legacy PDIP-based Spartan-3 designs, avoids SMT process overhead, and maintains identical timing and voltage behavior while simplifying lab and small-batch manufacturing workflows.

FAQ
Is XC17S30APD8C compatible with Spartan-3E FPGAs?
Yes, XC17S30APD8C is fully compatible with Spartan-3E FPGAs when used in master serial configuration mode. Its timing parameters-including tACC, tPU, and serial clock tolerance-meet or exceed Spartan-3E datasheet requirements for external PROM-based startup. The XC17S30APD8C bitstream format and address mapping align with Spartan-3E configuration protocol specifications.
What programming voltage is required for XC17S30APD8C?
The XC17S30APD8C requires a 12.5 V ±0.5 V programming voltage applied to the VCC pin during write/erase operations. This voltage is specified in AMD Advance Data Sheet DS009 and must be supplied by a JEDEC-compliant PROM programmer. Normal read operation uses only 3.3 V.
Can XC17S30APD8C be reprogrammed in-system?
No, XC17S30APD8C cannot be reprogrammed in-system. Reprogramming requires removal from the PCB and connection to a dedicated PROM programmer supporting the JEDEC-standard 12.5 V programming voltage. The device lacks internal charge pumps or in-circuit programming circuitry.
Does XC17S30APD8C support daisy-chain configuration loading?
No, XC17S30APD8C does not support daisy-chain configuration. It operates exclusively in master serial mode with a single DOUT line. Daisy-chain capability requires devices with dedicated DONE and INIT_B handshaking and multi-PROM cascade support, which XC17S30APD8C does not implement.
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for XC17S30APD8C?
The maximum operating junction temperature for XC17S30APD8C is +125°C, derived from its industrial-grade rating (–40°C to +85°C ambient) and PDIP package thermal resistance (θJA = 65°C/W). This allows safe operation under typical FPGA board power dissipation conditions without additional heatsinking.
