8103610RA

Overview

The PAL16L8AM is a standard high-speed programmable array logic device manufactured by Texas Instruments. It utilizes Advanced Low-Power Schottky technology with titanium-tungsten fuses for reliable performance. The device operates over the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and supports a maximum clock frequency of 25 MHz. Key electrical characteristics include a typical propagation delay of 30 ns from input to output, a supply voltage of 5 V, and an operating current of 180 mA.

Feature Summary

• Combines Advanced Low-Power Schottky technology with titanium-tungsten fuses
• Designed as a high-performance substitute for conventional TTL logic
• Supports flexible I/O port configurations for custom function design

Applications

• Military-grade digital logic systems requiring extended temperature operation
• High-speed programmable logic implementations replacing discrete TTL gates
• Compact circuit board designs utilizing chip carrier packages for space reduction

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific orderable part number matches the required package type (CDIP, CFP, or LCCC) and suffix designation. Confirm the military rating and temperature range specifications align with system requirements. Ensure compatibility with available programming hardware and software tools provided by Texas Instruments for fuse configuration.

Selection Notes

Select the PAL16L8AM when a fixed-function PAL architecture with registered outputs is not required. Choose this device over half-power variants if higher switching speeds are necessary. Consider alternative models within the PAL16 series if different numbers of registered outputs or I/O ports are needed for the specific application logic.

Part Context

This component belongs to the PAL16L8A family of standard high-speed programmable array logic circuits. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the series, such as the PAL16R4AM and PAL16R8AM, differing primarily in the number of registered outputs and I/O port availability. The 'M' suffix indicates qualification for military temperature ranges.

Replacement Considerations

Catalog versions such as the PAL16L8A serve as qualified substitutes. Verify that any replacement maintains the same package footprint and pinout configuration. Ensure that the replacement device meets the required military temperature specifications and timing constraints.
