Product details
Overview
XC17S30VO8I from AMD is a serial configuration PROM designed for Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGAs, providing 30 Mbit storage capacity in an 8-pin SOIC package with 5V VCC operation and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It supports master serial mode configuration for FPGA boot-up in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the XC17S30VO8I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include voltage compatibility with Spartan-3 I/O banks, read access time of 15 ns, data retention of 20 years, and support for in-system programmability via JTAG boundary-scan.
Technical Context
This PROM implements a synchronous serial interface compatible with Xilinx Spartan-3 configuration architecture, using CCLK as the clock input and DIN as the serial data input. It requires no external address decoding and operates with a single 5V supply, eliminating level-shifting circuitry in legacy FPGA designs.
Configuration data is loaded bit-serially on the rising edge of CCLK; the device asserts INIT_B low during internal power-on reset and releases it upon successful CRC check. The /CS pin enables device selection in multi-PROM systems, while /WRITE controls programming mode entry.
Key Specifications

| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all digital signals and power |
| INIT_B | Initialization Status Output | Open-drain active-low signal indicating CRC pass/fail during FPGA startup |
| DOUT | Serial Data Output | Provides read-back capability for verification and debug; not used in master serial mode |

FAQ
Is XC17S30VO8I compatible with Xilinx Spartan-3A FPGAs?
No, XC17S30VO8I is not compatible with Spartan-3A devices. It is specifically designed for original Spartan-3 (not -3A or -3E) FPGAs. Spartan-3A requires XCFxxPROMs with different command sets and voltage tolerances. Using XC17S30VO8I with Spartan-3A may result in failed configuration or damage due to voltage mismatch and unsupported instruction sequences.
What is the maximum CCLK frequency supported by XC17S30VO8I?
XC17S30VO8I supports CCLK frequencies up to 33 MHz in master serial mode, based on its 15 ns access time and timing specifications defined in the Xilinx DS054 datasheet. Exceeding this frequency risks setup/hold violations during bitstream loading, leading to incomplete or corrupted FPGA configuration.
Does XC17S30VO8I support in-system programming via JTAG?
Yes, XC17S30VO8I supports in-system programming via IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan. When /WRITE is asserted low and /CS is active, the device enters programming mode and accepts new configuration data through the DIN pin under JTAG controller direction - enabling field updates without physical replacement of XC17S30VO8I.
Can XC17S30VO8I be used with Spartan-2 FPGAs?
No, XC17S30VO8I is not intended for Spartan-2 FPGAs. Spartan-2 uses the XC1700 family of PROMs (e.g., XC1736), which differ in command protocol, timing, and voltage tolerance. Attempting to use XC17S30VO8I with Spartan-2 will result in configuration failure due to incompatible instruction set and electrical interface.
What is the purpose of the DOUT pin on XC17S30VO8I?
The DOUT pin on XC17S30VO8I provides serial read-back capability for verification and debugging. While unused during standard master serial configuration (where FPGA drives DIN only), DOUT allows external controllers to read stored bitstream contents after programming - confirming data integrity and supporting reverse-engineering analysis in authorized development environments.
