The XC1736EJC20C is an In-System Programmable configuration PROM (programmable read-only memory) from Xilinx, primarily used for configuring Xilinx FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays). It stores the configuration data that defines the functionality of the FPGA after power-up. This PROM is designed to be programmed while installed on the circuit board, allowing for convenient design modifications and updates without removing the device.

Applications

• Xilinx FPGA Configuration: Directly configures Xilinx FPGAs at power-up.
• Embedded Systems: Used in embedded systems requiring reprogrammable logic.
• Industrial Automation: Found in programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and other automation equipment.
• Telecommunications: Employed in network interface cards (NICs) and other communication devices.
• Aerospace and Defense: Utilized in systems requiring high reliability and reprogrammability.

Features

• In-System Programmable (ISP): Can be programmed without removing the device from the circuit board.
• Non-Volatile Storage: Retains configuration data even when power is removed.
• High Endurance: Supports multiple programming cycles.
• Low Power Consumption: Suitable for battery-powered applications.
• Compact Package: Available in space-saving packages.
• Fast Configuration Time: Quickly loads configuration data to the FPGA.

Benefits

• Flexibility: Allows for design modifications and updates without hardware changes.
• Reduced Development Time: Simplifies the prototyping and development process.
• Lower Manufacturing Costs: Eliminates the need for pre-programmed devices.
• Improved System Reliability: Reduces the risk of errors associated with manual programming.
• Simplified Inventory Management: Requires only a single device for multiple configurations.
