Xilinx introduces the QPro™ XQ18V04VQ44N Military Grade 4Mbit in-system programmable configuration Flash PROM. The XQ18V04VQ44N is a 3.3V rewritable PROM that provides a reliable non-volatile method for storing large Xilinx FPGA configuration bitstreams used in systems that require operation over the full military temperature range.
When the FPGA is in Master Serial mode, it generates a configuration clock that drives the PROM. A short access time after the rising CCLK, data is available on the PROM DATA (D0) pin that is connected to the FPGA DIN pin. The FPGA generates the appropriate number of clock pulses to complete the configuration.
When the FPGA is in Slave Serial mode, the PROM and the FPGA are clocked by an external clock. When the FPGA is in SelectMAP mode (Slave), an external oscillator will generate the configuration clock that drives the PROM and the FPGA. After the rising CCLK edge, data is available on the PROMs DATA (D0-D7) pins. The data will be clocked into the FPGA on the following rising edge of the CCLK.
Multiple devices can be cascaded by using the CEO output to drive the CE input of the following device. The clock inputs and the DATA outputs of all PROMs in this chain are interconnected. The XQ18V04VQ44N is compatible and can be cascaded with other configuration PROMs such as the XQR1701L and XQR17V16 one-time programmable configuration PROMs.

Xilinx is a leading provider of programmable logic devices and associated technologies. As a top producer of programmable FPGAs, SoCs, MPSoCs, and 3D ICs, Xilinx has expanded quickly. Software defined and hardware optimized applications are supported by Xilinx, advancing the fields of cloud computing, SDN/NFV, video/vision, industrial IoT, and 5G wireless.
One of Xilinx's key innovations is the development of the Xilinx Vivado Design Suite, a comprehensive software toolchain used for designing and programming their FPGAs and SoCs. This suite provides developers with the necessary tools to create, simulate, and implement their designs on Xilinx devices.
In October 2020, Xilinx was acquired by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), a major player in the semiconductor industry. This acquisition has enabled AMD to enhance its product portfolio and expand its offerings into the rapidly growing FPGA market.
