The XC1736D-PD8C is part of the XC1700 series of EPROM chips produced by AMD/Xilinx, designed for the storage of configuration data for use with Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). With its durable and compact 8-pin DIP package, this EPROM facilitates efficient and rapid configuration or reconfiguration of FPGAs, essential for a wide range of applications. Its non-volatile nature ensures that configuration data remains intact without power, allowing for immediate functionality upon system startup. The ‘36’ denotes a specific capacity within the series, tailored to meet the needs of moderately complex FPGA configurations. Applications benefiting from the XC1736D-PD8C span across telecommunications, military and defense systems, automotive electronics, and sophisticated control systems, where reliability and performance are paramount.
