The XCS05PC84CKN is a configuration PROM (programmable read-only memory) from Xilinx, belonging to the CoolRunner series. This PROM is specifically designed to store the configuration data for Xilinx FPGAs and CPLDs. It provides a non-volatile storage solution to ensure that the FPGA or CPLD is automatically configured upon power-up.

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 (PC84) 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 XCS05PC84CKN configuration PROM is an essential component for Xilinx-based systems. It ensures that the FPGA or CPLD is properly configured and ready to operate. It typically communicates with the FPGA/CPLD via a serial or parallel interface. The device is supported by Xilinx's configuration tools, which provide a user-friendly interface for programming the PROM with the desired configuration data.
