ATF16LV8C-15JC

Overview

The ATF16LV8C-15JC is a high-performance EEPLD from Microchip Technology, utilizing electrically-erasable Flash memory technology. It operates within a voltage range of 3.0V to 5.5V and features a maximum pin-to-pin propagation delay of 15 ns. The device includes eight macrocells with dedicated product terms and supports commercial temperature operation from 0°C to 70°C. It offers ultra-low power consumption, including a typical standby current of 100 nA and a programmable power-down mode reducing supply current to less than 5 µA. The component is housed in a 20-lead PLCC package.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-low power consumption with 100 nA typical standby current and <5 µA power-down mode
• High-speed performance with 15 ns maximum pin-to-pin delay
• Reprogrammable via advanced Flash technology with 100 erase/write cycles
• CMOS and TTL compatible inputs and outputs with 5V tolerant I/O pins

Applications

• Direct replacement for industry-standard 20-pin PALs and 16R8 family devices
• Complex logic function realization using three configurable modes of operation
• Systems requiring low power dissipation and enhanced reliability
• State machine initialization applications utilizing built-in power-up reset feature

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'JC' corresponds to the 20-lead Plastic J-leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package and Commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C). Confirm RoHS compliance status as green package options are available but may require distinct ordering codes such as 'JU'. Ensure design compatibility with the 3.0V to 5.5V operating voltage range.

Selection Notes

Select the ATF16LV8C-15JC when a 15 ns speed grade is required for commercial environments. The device provides eight macrocells suitable for replacing standard combinatorial PLDs. Consider the ATF16LV8C-10JC variant if a faster 10 ns delay is necessary. Verify that the application does not exceed the absolute maximum ratings, particularly regarding input voltage overshoot limits during programming or bias.

Part Context

The ATF16LV8C series represents a superset of generic architectures designed for easy integration into existing designs. It utilizes Atmel's proven EEPROM Flash technology, ensuring reprogrammability and high reliability. The component is part of a broader family offering various speed grades and package options, including SOIC, TSSOP, and PDIP, to accommodate different form factor requirements.

Replacement Considerations

The ATF16LV8C-15JC is designed for direct replacement of the 16R8 family and most 20-pin combinatorial PLDs. When substituting older PAL devices, ensure that the new configuration software supports the ATF16LV8C architecture. Verify that the target system can support the 3.0V minimum operating voltage if replacing higher voltage legacy components.
