ATF16LV8C-10PC

Overview

The ATF16LV8C-10PC is a high-performance Electrically Erasable CMOS Programmable Logic Device (EE PLD) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It utilizes Flash memory technology to provide reprogrammability with 100% testing coverage. The device features eight macrocells, each allocated eight product terms, and supports speeds down to 10 ns maximum pin-to-pin delay. It operates within a voltage range of 3.0V to 5.5V and includes a pin-controlled power-down mode option that reduces supply current to less than 5 µA. The component is housed in a 20-lead Plastic Dual Inline Package (PDIP).

Feature Summary

• High-speed performance with a maximum 10 ns pin-to-pin delay.
• Ultra-low power consumption featuring a typical 100 nA standby current and a 5 µA max pin-controlled power-down mode.
• CMOS and TTL compatible inputs and outputs equipped with I/O pin-keeper circuits.
• Advanced Flash technology ensuring the device is fully reprogrammable and tested.

Applications

• Direct replacement for industry-standard 20-pin PALs and combinatorial PLDs.
• Implementation of complex logic functions using three configurable modes of operation.
• State machine initialization utilizing the power-up reset feature.

Procurement Notes

Verify package integrity upon receipt, as the PDIP housing is susceptible to mechanical stress during handling. Confirm the ordering suffix matches the required speed grade (-10) and commercial temperature range. Ensure programming equipment compatibility with Atmel/Microchip EE PLD standards before integration into production workflows.

Selection Notes

Select the -10PC variant when a 10 ns maximum propagation delay is required for commercial applications operating between 0°C and 70°C. This specific part number denotes the 20-lead PDIP package. For industrial temperature ranges (-40°C to 85°C), select the -10PI suffix instead. Verify voltage requirements against the 3.0V to 5.5V operational specification.

Part Context

This component belongs to the ATF16LV8C series, which emulates many 20-pin PAL architectures. The 'C' suffix indicates the Commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C), while 'P' specifies the 20-lead PDIP package. The '-10' designation confirms the 10 ns speed grade. The device is designed to significantly reduce total system power compared to traditional PALs.

Replacement Considerations

ATF16LV8C-15PC is a verified substitute offering a slower 15 ns delay but maintaining identical package and electrical characteristics. ATF16LV8C-10JU provides the same speed in a PLCC package. No other direct functional substitutes are documented in the provided source material.
