General Description:

In March 1993, Xilinx replaced the XC1700 Series PROMS

Solution 1:

The differences were:

1. New wafer manufacturer (TSMC)
2. Improved ESD protection
3. Availability in a greater variety of packages, including
    SOIC
4. Different programming voltages (therefore different
    programming algorithms are required)
5. Programmable reset capability added
