8103611RA

Overview

The PAL16L8A-2M 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 within a military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and supports a maximum clock frequency of 16 MHz. Typical propagation delay from input to output is 40 ns, while the registered output delay from clock to Q is 25 ns.

Feature Summary

• Combines Advanced Low-Power Schottky technology with titanium-tungsten fuses
• Provides half-power operation for reduced system-level power dissipation
• Supports flexible I/O port configurations via dedicated pins
• Available in ceramic flat package, CDIP, and LCCC packages

Applications

• High-performance digital logic replacement for conventional TTL circuits
• Military-grade embedded systems requiring extended temperature stability
• Custom function design for compact circuit board implementations
• Space-constrained applications utilizing chip carrier packages

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific orderable part number matches the required speed grade and package type. Confirm the military rating and operating temperature range requirements align with the datasheet specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing programming hardware and software tools before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this device when lower power consumption is prioritized over maximum switching speed compared to the standard PAL16L8AM variant. Verify that the 16 MHz maximum frequency meets the system timing requirements. Consider the available package options if board space reduction is a critical design constraint.

Part Context

This component belongs to the PAL16' M series of standard high-speed PAL circuits. The 'M' suffix indicates qualification for the full military temperature range. The 'A-2' designation specifically identifies the half-power version within the family, distinguishing it from the higher-speed standard variants.

Replacement Considerations

PAL16L8AM serves as the direct functional substitute within the same family, offering identical pinouts but with a higher 25 MHz minimum operating speed. Catalog versions such as PAL16L8A-2 are also qualified equivalents.
