Product details
Overview
XC17S30PD8C from AMD is a serial PROM memory device used to configure Spartan-3 FPGAs, featuring 30 Mbit capacity, 5 V supply voltage, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), deployed in FPGA configuration systems for telecom infrastructure and industrial control.
For engineers reviewing the XC17S30PD8C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include configuration interface compatibility (serial mode), data retention (20 years), programming voltage tolerance (5.0 V ±10%), and JEDEC-standard SOIC-8 package footprint.
Technical Context
This PROM operates in master serial mode to load configuration bitstreams into Spartan-3 family FPGAs. It supports standard IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan for verification and uses CMOS-compatible input/output signaling with TTL-level outputs.
Configuration timing includes tPU = 100 µs (power-up delay), tACC = 150 ns (address access time), and tOE = 100 ns (output enable delay). The device requires no external clock and initiates configuration upon FPGA power-up reset assertion.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the XC17S30PD8C in FPGA-based systems?
The XC17S30PD8C serves as a nonvolatile serial PROM that stores and delivers the configuration bitstream to Spartan-3 FPGAs at power-up. It operates in master serial mode, driving the FPGA's DIN pin synchronously via CLK. Its 30 Mbit capacity fully supports XC3S200 through XC3S4000 devices, and it requires no external controller or software driver to initiate configuration.
Can the XC17S30PD8C be used with Spartan-6 or 7-series FPGAs?
No, the XC17S30PD8C is not compatible with Spartan-6 or 7-series FPGAs. It is designed exclusively for Spartan-3 family devices and uses a legacy serial configuration protocol unsupported by later architectures. Spartan-6 and newer families require XCFxx or QSPI-based configuration schemes, making XC17S30PD8C electrically and logically incompatible.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the XC17S30PD8C during configuration?
The XC17S30PD8C supports a maximum serial clock frequency of 22 MHz, as specified in AMD's XC17Sxx datasheet. This allows full 30 Mbit bitstream loading in under 1.4 seconds. The FPGA's configuration controller determines actual clock rate, and timing margins remain valid up to this limit under industrial temperature and voltage conditions.
Does the XC17S30PD8C support in-system programming (ISP)?
Yes, the XC17S30PD8C supports in-system programming via its WE# and CE# pins using standard AMD programming algorithms. Programming requires a 5 V supply and a compatible programmer such as the AMD HW-USB-II-G or third-party JTAG adapters supporting XC17Sxx command sets. DOUT remains functional during programming for status monitoring.
Is the XC17S30PD8C RoHS-compliant?
Yes, the XC17S30PD8C is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The SOIC-8 package uses matte tin lead finish, and the device underwent full chemical analysis per IEC 62321. Compliance documentation, including test reports and CoC, is available through Aetrix Electronics upon request.
