PLDC18G8-15JC

Overview

The PLDC18G8-15JC is a PAL-type programmable logic device manufactured by Cypress Semiconductor Corp. It utilizes CMOS technology and features 8 macrocells with a propagation delay of 15ns. The device supports a maximum clock frequency of 41.6 MHz and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 75°C. It is housed in a 20-pin PLCC package measuring 9x9 mm, containing 18 inputs and 8 outputs.

Feature Summary

• PAL-type architecture with 8 dedicated macrocells for flexible logic implementation
• CMOS construction ensuring low power consumption and high-speed operation
• Shared input/clock configuration supporting external clock signals

Applications

• General-purpose digital logic replacement
• State machine implementation
• Address decoding circuits
• Interface logic adaptation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'JC' corresponds to the 20-PLCC package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status as some records indicate non-compliance while others suggest lead-free options. Ensure the source document explicitly lists the 15ns speed grade and 8-macrocell capacity for this exact part number before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small-scale PAL solution with 8 macrocells is required. The 15ns delay suits moderate-speed applications. Consider the 20-PLCC footprint for board layout compatibility. Verify voltage requirements against system standards, as typical PLD operations vary.

Part Context

This device belongs to the PLDC series of programmable logic devices from Cypress Semiconductor. It represents a standard PAL-type solution designed for replacing discrete logic gates. The series offers various speed grades and package options to fit different design constraints.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-references from manufacturers like Lattice or AMD (Xilinx) offering equivalent PAL structures with 8 macrocells. Verify pinout compatibility if substituting into existing designs.
