Programmable Logic Device Pld Procurement Notes

This component has been officially discontinued by Lattice Semiconductor per Product Change Notification (PCN). Verification of current availability requires checking authorized distributors or secondary market suppliers for existing inventory. Designers should confirm the specific ordering suffix corresponds to the lead-free PLCC package variant.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Selection Notes

Select this device for legacy designs requiring GAL16V8 compatibility with low power consumption. The 'Q' suffix indicates Quarter Power operation, reducing typical supply current to 45 mA compared to 75 mA for Low Power variants. Ensure compiler software supports the specific OLMC configuration mode required for the target application logic.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Part Context

The GAL16V8 series represents a generation of Generic Array Logic devices that bridge the gap between fixed-function PALs and complex CPLDs. This specific part number belongs to the D-series, which offers improved speed and lower power characteristics compared to earlier C-series devices, utilizing advanced UltraMOS CMOS technology.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Replacement Considerations

Lattice recommends consulting their product selector guide for modern alternatives. Potential replacements include the MachXO family for non-volatile PLD functionality or CrossLink-NX for higher density requirements. Verify pinout and electrical compatibility when migrating to newer FPGA or CPLD technologies.
