Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct package type and temperature range are selected. Confirm that the 20-PLCC footprint matches the target PCB design. Check for any lead-free or RoHS compliance markings if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Ensure compatibility with existing programming tools for PAL devices.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small number of macrocells is sufficient for logic reduction tasks. Consider the 10 ns speed grade for moderate frequency applications. Evaluate the 20-PLCC package availability against board space constraints. Compare power consumption benefits against other low-power PLD options if battery life is critical.

Part Context

This part belongs to Lattice's PAL series of programmable logic devices. It represents a legacy solution for simple logic functions before the widespread adoption of complex FPGAs. The PALLV16V8 variant offers a balance of density and speed for basic control applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the PALLV16V8-10PC and PALLV16V8-10SC, which share similar electrical characteristics but may differ in package or temperature rating. Verify pinout compatibility before swapping.
