The XCF16PV048C is a 16Mb Platform Flash configuration PROM (read-only memory) from Xilinx. It is designed to store the configuration data for Xilinx FPGAs and CPLDs (Complex Programmable Logic Devices). When an FPGA/CPLD is powered on, it needs configuration data to define its internal logic functions. The XCF16PV048C provides the non-volatile storage for this data, ensuring the device starts up correctly. It is a cost-effective and reliable solution for configuration storage.

Applications

• FPGA Configuration: Storing configuration data for Xilinx FPGAs.
• CPLD Configuration: Storing configuration data for Xilinx CPLDs.
• Embedded Systems: Storing boot code and other critical data in embedded systems that use FPGAs/CPLDs.
• Industrial Control: Storing configuration settings for programmable logic devices in industrial control equipment.
• Telecommunications: Storing configuration data for programmable logic in telecommunications equipment.

Features

• 16Mb Memory Capacity: Provides ample storage for complex FPGA/CPLD designs.
• Platform Flash Technology: Offers reliable non-volatile storage.
• In-System Programmability (ISP): Allows for easy programming and reprogramming via JTAG.
• Low Power Consumption: Minimizes power consumption in the configuration subsystem.
• 48-Pin VQFP Package: Compact package for space-constrained applications.
• Fast Configuration Time: Enables quick startup of the FPGA/CPLD.

Benefits

• Simplified Device Configuration: Provides a dedicated solution for storing configuration data.
• Reduced Development Time: Enables easy reprogramming and updates without removing the device.
• Lower System Cost: Reduces the need for external configuration hardware.
• Improved System Performance: Fast configuration time ensures quick device startup.
