ATF16LV8C-10SC

Overview

The ATF16LV8C-10SC is a high-performance Electrically Erasable CMOS Programmable Logic Device (EEPLD) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features an industry-standard architecture emulating 20-pin PALs, with eight macrocells and eight registered outputs. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 3.0V to 5.5V and supports commercial temperatures from 0°C to 70°C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum pin-to-pin propagation delay of 10 ns, a typical standby current of 100 nA, and a maximum power-down mode current of 5 µA. It utilizes advanced Flash technology for reprogrammability and offers 200 mA latchup immunity.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-low power consumption with 100 nA typical standby current and 5 µA max in power-down mode
• High-speed performance with 10 ns maximum pin-to-pin delay
• CMOS and TTL compatible inputs and outputs with I/O pin-keeper circuits
• Advanced Flash memory technology providing 100% test coverage and 100 erase/write cycles

Applications

• Direct replacement for 16R8 family and most 20-pin combinatorial PLDs
• Implementation of complex logic functions using three configurable modes of operation
• Systems requiring low-power standby states via pin-controlled power-down option

Procurement Notes

Verify the package type corresponds to the 'S' suffix, indicating a 20-lead Plastic Gull-wing Small Outline (SOIC). Confirm the temperature grade matches the 'C' suffix for Commercial range (0°C to 70°C). Ensure the speed grade '-10' aligns with the required 10 ns timing specifications for the target design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when replacing legacy 20-pin PALs with lower power requirements. The -10 speed grade provides a 10 ns delay suitable for moderate frequency applications up to approximately 71 MHz external feedback. Consider the Industrial variant (-10JI/-10SI) if operation below 0°C or above 70°C is required.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ATF16LV8C series of EEPLDs, which utilize Atmel's proven electrically-erasable Flash memory technology. The series includes variants with different speed grades (-10, -15) and temperature ranges (Commercial, Industrial), packaged in PLCC, PDIP, SOIC, and TSSOP formats.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers include ATF16LV8C-15SC for slower speed requirements and ATF16LV8C-10PC for through-hole DIP packaging compatibility.
