The Xilinx X1765EJC is a programmable Read-Only Memory (PROM) device, specifically part of Xilinx's configuration memory family. These PROMs are designed to store the configuration data for Xilinx Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). The X1765EJC ensures reliable and efficient loading of the FPGA's configuration at power-up, enabling the FPGA to perform its intended function.

Applications

• FPGA Configuration: Used to store the configuration bitstream for Xilinx FPGAs.
• Embedded Systems: Employed in embedded systems requiring non-volatile storage of configuration or boot code.
• Telecommunications Equipment: Integrated into telecom hardware to configure FPGAs for signal processing and routing.
• Industrial Automation: Used in industrial control systems for FPGA configuration in programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and other automation devices.
• Aerospace and Defense: Applied in aerospace and defense systems for configuration storage in mission-critical FPGA-based applications.

Features

• Non-Volatile Storage: Retains data even when power is removed.
• High Capacity: Offers sufficient storage for complex FPGA configurations. The X1765 likely denotes a 64K or 64 kilobyte memory chip, but this would need confirming with a datasheet.
