PALCE20V8-7JC

Programmable Logic Device Pld Overview

The PALCE20V8-7JC is an electrically erasable programmable array logic (PAL) device manufactured by Cypress Semiconductor. It utilizes low-power, high-speed CMOS technology and features a universal macrocell architecture. The component provides a propagation delay of 7.5 ns and supports individual output configuration as either registered or combinatorial. It is designed for direct replacement of GAL20V8 and PAL20R8 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 enabling reconfigurable logic
• Pin and function compatible with standard PAL 20V8 devices
• Outputs individually programmable as registered or combinatorial
• Preloadable output registers for enhanced testability

Programmable Logic Device Pld Applications

• Direct replacement for GAL20V8 and PAL20R8 logic circuits
• Implementation of Boolean or state equations in digital systems
• PCI-compliant logic interface designs

Programmable Logic Device Pld Part Context

This component belongs to the PALCE20V8 family of advanced PAL devices. While originally developed by Lattice Semiconductor, Cypress Semiconductor produced variants such as the -7JC package version. The device maintains architectural compatibility with earlier generation programmable logic devices while adding electrical erasability and improved performance characteristics.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Replacement Considerations

The PALCE20V8-7JC serves as a drop-in replacement for GAL20V8 and most 24-pin combinatorial PAL devices. Verification of pinout compatibility is required when substituting other PAL20R8 series components.
