Platform Flash PROMs

Innovative configuration memory with value-added features

The competitively priced Xilinx platform flash PROMs reduce the amount of board space required for configuration. They enable a system-level drop-in solution that maximizes the flexibility of Virtex and Spartan FPGA-based systems and helps to significantly reduce design efforts and accelerate time to market.

Designing with Platform Flash

Xilinx ISE® tools and programming support resources are available when integrating platform flash configuration memory devices with Spartan and Virtex FPGAs to further enable lower configuration costs.

Why Platform Flash

Platform Flash configuration memory devices are part of a complete design solution for your system. They offer benefits such as:

Lowest cost per megabit configuration PROM
  • Smallest area per megabit
    • Reduces configuration board space with the VO20 and the FS48 packages
  • One PROM family from 1-Mbit to 32-Mbit
    • Simplifies manufacturing flow and reduces inventory cost
  • Provides for storage of up to 50% more bits, allowing the use of a smaller density, lower cost PROM
In-system programmability
  • Simplifies manufacturing flow and board test
    • Enables easy field upgrades
  • SelectMAP mode (PDF) decreases FPGA configuration time by bursting out bitstreams in 8-bit increments
Broad density range and flexibility
  • Increases effective PROM density in high density-range of devices
