PAL16R6B4CN

Programmable Logic Device Pld Overview

The PAL16R6B4CN is a Programmable Logic Device (PLD) manufactured by Vantis, utilizing a PAL-type architecture. It features 8 macrocells and is housed in a through-hole DIP20 package. The device operates at a nominal supply voltage of 5V with a maximum clock frequency of 25 MHz and a propagation delay of 25 ns. It supports TTL input logic levels and includes registered output functions. The component is designed for industrial temperature ranges, operating between specified minimum and maximum limits.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Feature Summary

• PAL-type programmable logic architecture with registered outputs
• Through-hole mounting compatible DIP20 package
• TTL input logic level compatibility

Programmable Logic Device Pld Applications

• General-purpose digital logic implementation
• State machine design
• Address decoding circuits

Programmable Logic Device Pld Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Vantis or Tri-Mag, LLC, noting historical lineage from Xilinx. Confirm the specific suffix '4CN' corresponds to the required speed grade and package variant. Ensure compliance with RoHS status requirements if applicable, as original documentation may indicate non-qualified status depending on production era. Cross-reference datasheets for exact pinout and electrical characteristics.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed-function PLD with registered outputs is required for moderate-speed logic applications. The 8-macrocell capacity suits simple state machines or combinational logic. Consider the 25ns delay for timing constraints. Compare against similar PAL16 series devices if different I/O counts or unregistered outputs are needed.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Part Context

This part belongs to the PAL16 family of programmable logic devices, which were widely used before the prevalence of complex FPGAs. The 'R' in the model name typically denotes registered outputs, distinguishing it from purely combinatorial variants like the PAL16L series. These devices represent an intermediate technology between discrete gates and complex programmable logic.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other PAL16R6 variants from Vantis or Microchip, such as PAL16R6B4CNL. Generic GAL16V8 devices may offer functional compatibility but require careful verification of pinouts and electrical specifications. Always confirm that the replacement maintains the registered output structure and package type.
