The XC17S05PI is a configuration PROM (programmable read-only memory) from Xilinx, belonging to the XC17S series. This PROM is designed to store the configuration data for Xilinx FPGAs and CPLDs, ensuring that the programmable logic device is correctly initialized upon power-up. It provides a non-volatile memory solution for FPGA configuration.

Applications

• Configuration storage for Xilinx FPGAs and CPLDs
• Embedded systems
• Industrial control systems
• Telecommunications equipment
• Consumer electronics

Features

• Memory Capacity: 512 Kb (Kilobits) of storage capacity.
• Non-Volatile Storage: Retains configuration data even when power is removed.
• In-System Programmable: Can be programmed while installed in the system.
• Low Power Consumption: Designed for low-power operation.
• Compact Package: Available in a compact package for space-constrained applications.
• Fast Configuration: Provides rapid configuration of the FPGA or CPLD upon power-up.

Benefits

• Reliable Configuration: Ensures reliable and automatic configuration of Xilinx devices.
• Simplified System Design: Eliminates the need for external configuration controllers.
• Reduced Board Space: Compact package minimizes board space requirements.
• Low Power Operation: Suitable for power-sensitive applications.
• Easy Programming: In-system programmability simplifies configuration updates.

Additional Details

The XC17S05PI configuration PROM is a crucial component for Xilinx-based systems. It guarantees that the FPGA or CPLD is properly configured and ready to operate.
