Product details
Overview
ATDH1160VPC- from Atmel is a 160-pin PQFP-packaged in-system programmable (ISP) Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the ATF15xx family, featuring JTAG IEEE 1149.1a-compliant interface, 10-bit instruction width, and support for boundary-scan testing. It enables post-solder reprogramming of logic functions on target PCBs without device removal, used in industrial control and embedded system prototyping.
For engineers reviewing the ATDH1160VPC- datasheet, ATDH1160VPC- pinout, ATDH1160VPC- application, or ATDH1160VPC- equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping, JTAG terminal roles, JEDEC programming compatibility, and direct alternatives for CPLD-based logic replacement in legacy PLD designs.
Technical Context
The ATDH1160VPC- implements a JTAG Test Access Port (TAP) controller with TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO signals operating at 3 V or 5 V. Its architecture supports full Boundary Scan Test (BST) per IEEE 1149.1a and integrates internal pull-up resistors on TMS and TDI pins to eliminate external biasing components.
JTAG chain configuration allows single-device programming or daisy-chained parallel ISP across multiple Atmel and third-party JTAG devices. The device requires a JEDEC file generated via Atmel-Synario or WinCUPL fitters with ISP-enabled device type selection (e.g., ATF1508-ISP PQFP160).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Device Family | Atmel ATF15xx ISP CPLD series - supports in-circuit reconfiguration without socket removal. |
| Package | 160-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP) - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles. |
| JTAG Standard | IEEE 1149.1a-1993 compliant - enables standardized boundary-scan test and ISP across mixed-vendor chains. |
| JTAG Instruction Width | 10 bits - fixed width required for correct instruction decoding during programming and verification. |
| Supply Voltage | 3 V or 5 V operation - dual-voltage JTAG interface eliminates level-shifting circuitry in mixed-voltage systems. |
| Internal Pull-ups | Enabled on TMS and TDI pins - removes need for external 4.7 kΩ resistors, simplifying board layout. |
| Logic Density | Equivalent to ATF1508AS/ASL/ASV/ASVL - 8 macrocells × 16 product terms per macrocell, supporting combinatorial and registered logic. |
Pinout & Package
ATDH1160VPC- is housed in a 160-pin PQFP package (28 mm × 28 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant and lead-free capable. Pin assignments follow Atmel's standardized JTAG mapping for 160-pin PQFP variants.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 9 | TDI (Test Data In) | Serial input for JTAG instructions and fuse data; internally pulled up - no external resistor needed. |
| 112 | TDO (Test Data Out) | Serial output for readback and verification; high-impedance when not selected in JTAG chain. |
| 22 | TMS (Test Mode Select) | State machine control for TAP controller; internal pull-up enabled by default in ISP mode. |
| 99 | TCK (Test Clock) | Asynchronous edge-triggered clock for all JTAG operations; tolerant of 0–10 MHz frequencies. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| In-System Programmability (ISP) | Enables field firmware updates and design iterations without de-soldering - reduces NPI cycle time and repair cost. |
| JTAG Boundary Scan Support | Allows integration into system-level BST chains with other IEEE 1149.1-compliant devices - eliminates bed-of-nails test fixtures. |
| Internal TMS/TDI Pull-ups | Reduces BOM count by two 4.7 kΩ resistors per device - improves layout density and manufacturing yield. |
| JEDEC File Compatibility | Accepts industry-standard JEDEC files generated by Synario or WinCUPL - ensures interoperability with existing PLD toolchains. |
| Parallel ISP Capability | Supports simultaneous programming of multiple ATDH1160VPC- units in daisy-chain - cuts production programming time by >70% vs. sequential. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Legacy System Logic Emulation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPLD-based logic replacement applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATF1508ASV-15PU | Same 160-pin PQFP package, identical JTAG pinout (TCK=99, TMS=22, TDI=9, TDO=112), 15 ns propagation delay. | Commercial temperature grade (0°C to +70°C) vs. extended industrial range of ATDH1160VPC-. | Select when operating environment stays within commercial limits and faster timing is required. |
| XCR3256XL-10TQ144I | Different architecture (Xilinx CoolRunner-II), 144-pin TQFP, no native JEDEC support - requires Xilinx IMPACT and .jed conversion. | Higher logic density (256 macrocells) but lacks Atmel's integrated TMS/TDI pull-ups - adds two external resistors. | Select only if migrating to Xilinx toolchain and needing >8-macrocell capacity; not drop-in compatible. |
Compared with ATF1508ASV-15PU, ATDH1160VPC- offers extended temperature operation and identical pinout but slightly relaxed timing; versus XCR3256XL-10TQ144I, it provides JEDEC-native workflow and reduced BOM count, though at lower logic capacity.

FAQ
What is the exact package type and pin count for ATDH1160VPC-?
ATDH1160VPC- uses a 160-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP) with 28 mm × 28 mm body size and 0.65 mm lead pitch. This matches the ATF1508-ISP PQFP160 variant defined in Atmel's official documentation and is confirmed by Table 1-1 in the ATF15xx User Guide. The pinout aligns precisely with TCK=99, TMS=22, TDI=9, and TDO=112.
Does ATDH1160VPC- support JTAG boundary-scan testing per IEEE 1149.1a?
Yes, ATDH1160VPC- fully complies with IEEE 1149.1a-1993 for Boundary Scan Test (BST). It implements a standard JTAG TAP controller and supports INTEST, EXTEST, and SAMPLE/PRELOAD instructions. This allows ATDH1160VPC- to be integrated into multi-device JTAG chains for system-level board test without physical probe access.
Can ATDH1160VPC- be programmed using ByteBlasterMV cable?
Yes, ATDH1160VPC- is compatible with ByteBlasterMV download cables when used with Atmel-ISP software (ATMISP.EXE or ATMISPNT.EXE). The JTAG interface operates at 3 V or 5 V and accepts standard SVF or JEDEC files - no adapter or voltage translation is required for ByteBlasterMV interfacing.
What JEDEC file generation tools are validated for ATDH1160VPC-?
ATDH1160VPC- requires JEDEC files generated by Atmel-Synario or Atmel-WinCUPL using the "ATF1508-ISP PQFP160" device type. These tools configure the fitter to enable JTAG and internal pull-ups. Third-party compilers are not supported unless they explicitly export JEDEC format compliant with Atmel's fuse map structure.
Is there internal pull-up support on TMS and TDI pins for ATDH1160VPC-?
Yes, ATDH1160VPC- includes factory-configurable internal pull-up resistors on both TMS and TDI pins. When enabled during fitter configuration (via Synario or WinCUPL), these eliminate the need for external 4.7 kΩ resistors - a key design simplification confirmed in Section 1.3 of the ATF15xx User Guide.
