XCF16PVO48C

The XCF16PVO48C is a Platform Flash in-system programmable configuration PROM from Xilinx, designed to store and manage bitstreams for high-density FPGAs. As part of the XCFxxP family, this device provides 16 Mbit of non-volatile flash memory in a compact 48-pin TSOP package, supporting single-device or daisy-chain programming via a standard JTAG interface. It operates at a 3.3V core voltage and is compatible with numerous Xilinx FPGA families, enabling rapid, reliable configuration upon power-up. The TSOP footprint offers a space-efficient surface-mount solution well-suited to densely packed board layouts where board real estate is at a premium.

Typical applications span industrial automation, aerospace and defense, telecommunications infrastructure, and high-reliability embedded systems, where the PROM serves as the dedicated configuration source for FPGAs performing signal processing, control, or encryption functions. In these environments, the non-volatile storage ensures bitstream integrity across power cycles and harsh operating conditions. From a procurement standpoint, the XCF16P series is a mature product line now managed under AMD following Xilinx’s acquisition; design engineers should validate lifecycle status and long-term availability directly with authorized distribution. Industrial and commercial temperature grades are the most commonly stocked variants, while military-qualified or extended-temp versions may require lead-time planning. Obsolescence risk is a consideration for new designs, and verifying the part’s active status and any associated last-time-buy notices is advised before committing to production builds.
