ATF16LV8C-15PC

Overview

The ATF16LV8C-15PC is a high-performance Electrically Erasable CMOS Programmable Logic Device (EEPLD) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 8 macrocells and operates within a voltage range of 3.0V to 5.5V. The device provides a maximum pin-to-pin propagation delay of 15 ns, with a clock-to-output delay of 10 ns. It utilizes advanced Flash technology for reprogrammability and offers ultra-low power consumption, including a typical standby current of 100 nA and a pin-controlled power-down mode drawing less than 5 µA. The component is housed in a 20-lead Plastic Dual Inline Package (PDIP).

Feature Summary

• Industry-standard architecture emulating many 20-pin PALs with 8 macrocells.
• Ultra-low power operation with 100 nA typical standby current and <5 µA power-down mode.
• CMOS and TTL compatible inputs and outputs with I/O pin-keeper circuits.
• Advanced Flash memory technology ensuring 100% testing and 2,000V ESD protection.

Applications

• Direct replacement for 16R8 family and most 20-pin combinatorial PLDs.
• State machine initialization utilizing power-up reset features.
• Logic functions requiring low-cost, easy-to-use software tools.

Procurement Notes

Verify the package type matches the required 20-PDIP form factor. Confirm that the commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) aligns with system requirements, as industrial variants use different suffixes. Ensure design compatibility with the specific timing parameters defined for the -15 speed grade.

Selection Notes

Select this part when an industry-standard 20-pin PLD footprint is needed with low power constraints. The -15 suffix indicates a 15 ns max propagation delay suitable for moderate-speed applications. Consider the -10 variant if faster switching speeds are required, or the -I suffix variants for industrial temperature ranges (-40°C to 85°C).

Part Context

This component belongs to the ATF16LV8C series, which represents a superset of generic architectures allowing direct replacement for legacy 16R8 devices. The 'C' designation typically refers to the Commercial temperature grade, distinguishing it from Industrial ('I') grades within the same electrical specification family.
