TIBPAL16R6-12CFN

Overview

The TIBPAL16R6-12CFN is an Electrically Erasable Programmable Logic Device (PLD) manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the IMPACT-E PAL series and features a 12 ns propagation delay. The device is housed in a 20-CDIP package with a 0.300 inch (7.62 mm) width. It operates at a supply voltage of 5 V and supports TTL logic levels. This component is designed for through-hole mounting and utilizes macrocell architecture for programmable logic implementation.

Feature Summary

• Electrically erasable programmable logic device architecture
• High-speed 12 ns propagation delay performance
• TTL-compatible input and output logic levels
• Through-hole 20-pin ceramic dual in-line package

Applications

• General-purpose digital logic replacement
• State machine implementation
• Address decoding circuits
• Bus protocol conversion

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CFN' against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm package type and material specifications, as variations exist within the TIBPAL16 family. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors, as some sources indicate non-compliance while others may list different environmental statuses. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability for this legacy component.

Selection Notes

Select the TIBPAL16R6-12CFN when electrically erasable reprogramming capability is required for PAL-type logic functions. The 12 ns speed grade suits applications needing faster switching than standard 25 ns variants. Choose this specific CDIP package for high-reliability through-hole environments where ceramic packaging offers superior thermal and mechanical stability compared to plastic alternatives.

Part Context

This part is part of the TIBPAL16 family, which includes various speed grades and pin configurations such as the TIBPAL16R4 and TIBPAL16R6. The TIBPAL16R6-12CFN specifically denotes the 12 ns speed variant in a ceramic DIP package. It serves as a legacy programmable logic solution from Texas Instruments, often used to replace fixed logic gates in established industrial designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes include other TIBPAL16R6 variants with compatible speed grades, such as the TIBPAL16R6-25CN, though with slower performance. Cross-reference with Intel/Altera EPM7128LC84 for complex replacements. Verify pin compatibility before substitution.
