PAL10H8CJ

Programmable Logic Device Pld Overview

The PAL10H8CJ is an electrically erasable programmable array logic (PAL) device manufactured by Advanced Micro Devices. It utilizes low-power, high-speed CMOS technology to provide reconfigurable logic capabilities within a standard 24-pin package. The component features a universal macrocell architecture that allows outputs to be programmed as either registered or combinatorial in any combination. This design enables direct replacement for legacy PAL16R8 and PAL10H8 series devices, offering full testability through preloadable output registers and automatic register reset on power-up.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Feature Summary

• Electrically erasable CMOS technology for reconfigurable logic
• Universal macrocell architecture with flexible output configuration
• Pin and function compatible with all 20-pin GAL devices
• Preloadable output registers for enhanced testability

Programmable Logic Device Pld Applications

• Direct replacement for PAL16R8 series logic circuits
• Replacement for most PAL10H8 series applications
• General-purpose programmable logic implementation
• Digital system prototyping requiring reprogrammable gates

Programmable Logic Device Pld Part Context

The PAL10H8CJ belongs to the PALCE16V8 family of advanced PAL devices. While the specific datasheet for the PAL10H8 variant shares architectural similarities with the PALCE16V8H-5SI, such as the use of EE CMOS technology and universal macrocells, it is distinct in its pin count and specific logic capacity. It serves as a bridge component between older fixed-function PALs and more complex CPLDs.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Replacement Considerations

The device is designed to directly replace PAL16R8 and most PAL10H8 series components. Verification of pin compatibility with existing 20-pin GAL designs is required before substitution. Ensure that the target application does not require the specific timing characteristics of the -5 or -7 speed grades found in the PALCE16V8H series.
