GAL16V8QS-10LVI

Programmable Logic Device Pld Overview

The GAL16V8QS-10LVI is a Simple Programmable Logic Device (SPLD) manufactured by National Semiconductor, now part of Texas Instruments. It belongs to the GAL16V8 family and features a PAL-type architecture with 16 inputs and 8 outputs. The device utilizes CMOS technology and is housed in a 28-pin Plastic Low-Density Ceramic Dual In-line Package (LDCC). The '10' suffix indicates a maximum propagation delay of 10 ns, supporting clock frequencies up to 100 MHz. It operates at a standard 5V supply voltage.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Feature Summary

Programmable Logic Device Pld Part Context

This component is part of the GAL16V8 series, which are electrically erasable programmable logic devices. The GAL16V8QS-10LVI specifically denotes the 10 ns speed grade and the LDCC package type within this lineage. National Semiconductor's SPLD portfolio was designed to replace complex discrete logic gates, offering reprogrammability for design iterations.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements may include other GAL16V8 variants from Lattice Semiconductor or Microchip Technology, provided the speed grade (10 ns or faster) and package (LDCC-28) match. Verify electrical characteristics such as output drive current and input thresholds against the original design requirements.
