The XC1736APD8C is a 36Kbit serial EPROM from Xilinx Inc. 

XC      - Xilinx Corp.
1736    - 17 == serial EPROM family, 36==#Kbits
A       - no programmable reset polarity
PD      - plastic dual-inline package
8       - 8 pins
C       - commercial variant

This is probably for the boot code loading which I think take place on a
few dedicated pins (ModeClock and ModeIn?).
