The XQ1701LSO20N is a Xilinx configuration PROM (programmable read-only memory) designed to store the configuration data for Xilinx FPGAs. This PROM is specifically used to automatically load the configuration data into an FPGA at power-up, eliminating the need for external configuration controllers. It offers a reliable and convenient way to configure FPGAs in embedded systems.

Applications:

• FPGA Configuration Storage
• Embedded Systems
• Industrial Control
• Aerospace
• Automotive

Features:

• Non-Volatile Storage: Retains configuration data even when power is removed.
• Automatic Configuration: Loads FPGA configuration data automatically at power-up.
• Serial Configuration: Uses a serial interface to communicate with the FPGA.
• Low Power Consumption: Minimizes power usage in embedded systems.
• SO20 Package: A 20-pin Small Outline (SO) package.

Benefits:

• Simplified FPGA Configuration: Streamlines the FPGA configuration process.
• Increased System Reliability: Ensures reliable FPGA configuration at power-up.

• Lower Power Consumption: Extends battery life in portable applications.
• Cost-Effective Solution: Provides a cost-effective solution for FPGA configuration.

Additional Details:

The XQ1701LSO20N is a 1 Mbit serial configuration PROM. It stores the bitstream necessary to configure an FPGA. Upon power-up, the FPGA reads this bitstream from the PROM to define its internal logic and functionality. The PROM is typically programmed using a Xilinx programming tool. The "L" in the part number likely refers to a low-voltage operation, while the 'N' often indicates the package type and temperature range. The SO20 package is a surface-mount package that is commonly used in embedded systems. The PROM operates over a specific temperature range and supply voltage, which should be verified in the device datasheet.
