AMD / Xilinx XCF04SVO20C Environmental and export classification status description

The Xilinx XCF04SVO20C is a serial configuration device used for configuring Xilinx FPGAs and other programmable logic devices. It is part of the XCF series of configuration memory and is specifically designed for Xilinx Virtex, Spartan, and CoolRunner devices. The "04" in the part number indicates its capacity, allowing it to store configuration data for the targeted devices. Functions: 1. Configuration Memory: Stores configuration bitstreams for Xilinx FPGAs. 2. Serial Interface: Interacts with FPGAs over a serial port to load configuration data. 3. Data Integrity Checks: Provides mechanisms for verifying the integrity of the configuration data loaded into FPGAs. 4. Multiple Programming: Supports multiple programming modes for flexibility in deployment. Applications: - FPGA Development: Used in development boards for Xilinx FPGAs during the programming and configuration phase. - Embedded Systems: Often integrated into systems that require real-time reconfiguration of FPGAs. - Telecommunications: Used in networking devices that require high-speed processing and dynamic reconfiguration. - Consumer Electronics: Applied in devices that utilize FPGAs for signal processing or control logic. Alternative Parts: 1. Xilinx XCF02S: A smaller capacity, also used for configuration but with less memory. 2. Atmel AT25DF041A: A Serial Flash memory alternative for non-Xilinx implementations. 3. Microchip MX25L6406E: Another Serial Flash that can hold FPGA configuration data. Embedded Modules: - FX2LP USB Development Module: Useful for embedding the XCF04SVO20C for USB-related FPGA configurations. - Xilinx Platform Cable USB: For programming the XCF04SVO20C during the FPGA design phase.
