PAL16L2ML883B

Programmable Logic Device Pld Overview

The PAL16L2ML883B is a high-reliability Programmable Array Logic (PAL) device manufactured by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). It belongs to the PAL16L2 family, featuring a combinatorial output architecture with 16 dedicated inputs and 2 outputs. The component is housed in a 20-lead Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP), designated as CDIP20, suitable for military and aerospace environments. It operates within an extended temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and utilizes TTL logic levels. The device offers a typical propagation delay of 17ns and contains 64 product terms for logic implementation.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Feature Summary

• Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP-20) for high reliability
• Extended industrial/military temperature range (-55°C to +125°C)
• TTL-compatible logic levels with 17ns typical propagation delay

Programmable Logic Device Pld Applications

• Military avionics control systems
• Aerospace telemetry logic interfaces
• High-reliability industrial automation controllers

Programmable Logic Device Pld Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MJ' or 'ML' against the datasheet to confirm package sealing and screening level. Ensure the /883B designation aligns with MIL-PRF-38534 requirements if space-grade compliance is necessary. Confirm lead material composition (e.g., e0) for soldering compatibility. Check for RoHS exemption status due to the ceramic package and legacy manufacturing process.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Selection Notes

Select this part when a small number of outputs (2) are required from a large input set (16) in a harsh environment. Compare with PAL16L8 variants if more outputs are needed. Verify that the combinatorial nature meets timing constraints, as there are no registered outputs. Ensure the CDIP footprint matches the PCB design for hermetic sealing requirements.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Part Context

This component is part of AMD's PAL16Lx series of simple PLDs. The /883B suffix indicates compliance with MIL-PRF-38534 standards for integrated circuits. It serves as a drop-in replacement for older PAL devices in legacy military hardware, providing logic flexibility without the complexity of CPLDs or FPGAs.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements include other PAL16L2 variants from AMD or Lattice with compatible speed grades. Verify voltage levels and output drive capabilities before substituting. Generic PAL equivalents may lack the hermetic ceramic package required for /883B applications.
