Programmable Logic Device Pld Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Vantis Corporation or its predecessor entities such as Lattice Semiconductor, which acquired PALCE/PALC product lines. Confirm the specific suffix 'BCJ' corresponds to the commercial temperature range and PDIP package type through official datasheets or authorized distributor documentation. Ensure RoHS compliance status is checked against current regulatory requirements.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Selection Notes

Select this component when a fast, low-pin-count PLD is required for simple combinational or registered logic functions. Compare with similar PAL devices like the PAL16L8 series for pin compatibility. Verify that the 5 V supply voltage matches the system design constraints. Consider the 7.5 ns delay for timing-critical applications within the commercial temperature range.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Part Context

This part belongs to the PALCE/PALC family of programmable logic devices, originally developed by Monolithic Memories (MMI) and later produced by Actel, Vantis, and Lattice Semiconductor. These devices are widely used as drop-in replacements for older TTL logic gates in industrial and consumer electronics.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include PAL16L8 variants from Texas Instruments or Cypress. Check for equivalent packages and speed grades. Ensure logical equivalence in terms of input/output configuration and macrocell structure before substitution.
