ATF16LV8C-15JI

Overview

The ATF16LV8C-15JI 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 product terms per output. The device operates within a voltage range of 3.0V to 5.5V and supports a maximum propagation delay of 15 ns. It utilizes advanced Flash technology for reprogrammability and offers ultra-low power consumption, including a pin-controlled power-down mode reducing supply current to 5 µA. The component is housed in a 20-lead PLCC package and is rated for industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• High-speed performance with a maximum pin-to-pin delay of 15 ns
• Ultra-low power operation featuring a typical 100 nA standby current and a 5 µA max power-down mode
• CMOS and TTL compatible inputs and outputs with I/O pin-keeper circuits
• Advanced Flash memory technology providing 100% testing, 20-year data retention, 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 state machine initialization with guaranteed power-up reset

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code ATF16LV8C-15JI against the manufacturer's documentation to confirm the Industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and 20-lead PLCC package configuration. Ensure that design requirements align with the specified 3.0V to 5.5V operating voltage and 15 ns timing characteristics before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select the ATF16LV8C-15JI when an industrial temperature range is required alongside a 15 ns speed grade. This part number specifically denotes the 20-lead Plastic J-leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package variant. For commercial temperature applications or different package types such as SOIC or TSSOP, alternative suffixes like 'JC' or 'SC' should be considered instead.

Part Context

This component belongs to the ATF16LV8C series of EEPLDs, which utilize Atmel’s proven electrically-erasable Flash memory technology. The series provides a superset of generic architectures designed to significantly reduce total system power while enhancing reliability. It serves as a drop-in replacement for legacy 20-pin PAL devices in various digital logic applications.

Replacement Considerations

ATF16LV8C-10JI is a faster alternative within the same package offering a 10 ns delay. ATF16LV8C-15PC provides the same electrical specifications but in a 20-lead PDIP package.
