PAL16R6BCN

Programmable Logic Device Pld Overview

The PAL16R6BCN is a Programmable Array Logic (PAL) device from the PAL Series 24, manufactured by Vantis. It features an architecture with 10 inputs and 6 registered outputs, including 8 dedicated inputs and 2 I/O lines. The device supports mixed output functions and contains 64 product terms. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 40 MHz with a typical propagation delay of 15 ns. The component is housed in a 20-pin Plastic Dual In-Line Package (PDIP).

Programmable Logic Device Pld Feature Summary

• Configurable as a PAL-type programmable logic device with registered outputs.
• Supports mixed output logic functions for flexible design implementation.
• Includes power-up reset and register preload capabilities.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Applications

• Digital state machine implementations requiring registered outputs.
• Address decoding and bus control logic in computer systems.
• Interface translation between different logic families.
• General-purpose combinatorial and sequential logic replacement.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required package types and electrical characteristics. Confirm that the device meets all necessary environmental and regulatory standards for the intended application, as older PLD series may have limited availability or specific handling requirements.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed-function PAL solution with registered outputs is preferred over complex programmable logic devices. Ensure the design requires no more than 10 inputs and 6 outputs. Verify that the 15 ns propagation delay and 40 MHz clock speed meet the system timing constraints. Consider the PDIP-20 package footprint during PCB layout planning.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Part Context

This part belongs to the PAL Series 24 family, which provides high-speed programmable logic solutions. Vantis, formerly part of Lattice Semiconductor, continues to support these legacy PLD architectures. The PAL16R6 variant specifically offers a balance of input/output density and registered output capability, making it suitable for mid-complexity digital designs.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements may include other PAL16R6 variants from National Semiconductor or AMD, provided the electrical specifications such as propagation delay and voltage levels are compatible. Verify that substitute devices maintain the same registered output structure and package dimensions to ensure mechanical fit without redesigning the host board.

Programmable Logic Device Pld FAQ

What is the difference between PAL16R6 and PAL16R8?

The primary difference lies in the output configuration. The PAL16R6 has 6 registered outputs, while the PAL16R8 typically offers 8 registered outputs. Both share similar input counts and internal architecture structures within the PAL Series 24 family.

Does the PAL16R6BCN support asynchronous resets?

Yes, the device includes power-up reset functionality and register preload capabilities, which can be utilized for initializing the registered outputs upon device activation or during specific operational states.
