Description
Xilinx introduces the high-density XC17V00 family of config-
uration PROMs which provide an easy-to-use, cost-effec-
tive method for storing large Xilinx FPGA configuration
bitstreams. Initial devices in the 3.3V family are available in
16 Mb, 8 Mb, 4 Mb, 2 Mb, and 1 Mb densities.
When the FPGA is in Master Serial mode, it generates a
configuration clock that drives the PROM. A short access
time after the rising clock edge, data appears on the PROM
DATA output pin that is connected to the FPGA DIN pin. The
FPGA generates the appropriate number of clock pulses to
complete the configuration. Once configured, it disables the
PROM. When the FPGA is in Slave Serial mode, the PROM
and the FPGA must both be clocked by an incoming signal.
When the FPGA is in SelectMAP mode, an external oscilla-
tor will generate the configuration clock that drives the
PROM and the FPGA. After the rising CCLK edge, data are
available on the PROMs DATA (D0-D7) pins. The data will
be clocked into the FPGA on the following rising edge of the
CCLK. SelectMAP does not utilize a Length Count, so a
free-running oscillator may be used. See
Multiple devices can be concatenated by using the CEO
output to drive the CE input of the following device. The
clock inputs and the DATA outputs of all PROMs in this
chain are interconnected. All devices are compatible and
can be cascaded with other members of the family.
For device programming, either the Xilinx Alliance or Foun-
dation series development system compiles the FPGA
design file into a standard Hex format, which is then trans-
ferred to most commercial PROM programmers.
