Product details
Overview
ATF1502AS-15JI from Atmel is a high-performance, electrically-erasable Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) with 32 macrocells, 5 product terms per macrocell (expandable to 40), 44-pin TQFP package, 7.5 ns maximum pin-to-pin delay, and registered operation up to 125 MHz. It integrates legacy TTL/SSI/MSI logic and supports in-system programming via JTAG for field reconfiguration in industrial control and PCI-compliant interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1502AS-15JI datasheet, ATF1502AS-15JI pinout, ATF1502AS-15JI application, or ATF1502AS-15JI equivalent, key selection considerations include its 125 MHz registered clock frequency, JTAG boundary-scan compliance (IEEE 1149.1a), PCI-compatible 5V I/O drive capability, programmable slew rate per output, and dual standby modes (10 µA auto-standby and 1 mA pin-controlled).
Technical Context
The ATF1502AS-15JI implements a flexible macrocell architecture with five sections per macrocell: product term array with 5 base terms (expandable via cascade logic), OR/XOR/CASCADE logic block supporting up to 40-term sum-of-products, D/T-latch-configurable flip-flop with global/individual clock and reset control, output select/enable with programmable open-collector and slew rate, and logic array inputs fed by a 40-signal global bus. Its routing includes enhanced feedback paths, alternate input routing, and foldback logic on regional buses.
It features three global clock pins (GCLK1–GCLK3), Input Transition Detection (ITD) circuits on global clocks, inputs, and I/Os, fast registered input from product term, VCC power-up reset with selectable hysteresis, and JTAG-based ISP with BSDL support. The device supports PCI electrical compliance with programmable high-drive outputs and low skew, while maintaining full boundary-scan testability without TRST pin.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPLD applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCR3064XL-10VQG44C | 64 macrocells, 3.3V core, 10 ns propagation; no PCI 5V drive; requires level-shifting for legacy bus interfacing | Suitable for new 3.3V designs with higher density needs; not drop-in for 5V PCI slots | Select when migrating to lower-voltage systems and requiring >32 macrocells; verify I/O voltage compatibility. |
| EPM3064ATC44-10 | 64 macrocells, 5V supply, 10 ns speed grade; lacks ITD, pin-keeper, and programmable slew; no PCI-specific drive characterization | Better for cost-sensitive 5V applications where advanced power management is unnecessary | Choose for simple replacement where JTAG ISP and PCI compliance are not required; expect higher static current than ATF1502AS-15JI. |
Compared with XCR3064XL-10VQG44C and EPM3064ATC44-10, the ATF1502AS-15JI uniquely delivers PCI-compliant 5V I/O, integrated ITD for low-power wake-on-event, and per-pin slew control-making it optimal for retrofitting legacy industrial interfaces without board redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the ATF1502AS-15JI in registered mode?
The ATF1502AS-15JI supports registered operation up to 125 MHz, as confirmed by its fCNT parameter (maximum internal global clock frequency) at the -15 speed grade. This value is measured under standard conditions (VCC = 5.0 V, TA = 25°C) and assumes proper PCB layout and load capacitance (≤35 pF). The ATF1502AS-15JI achieves this performance using three global clock inputs with low-skew distribution across all 32 macrocells.
Does the ATF1502AS-15JI support PCI bus interfacing without external level shifters?
Yes, the ATF1502AS-15JI is explicitly PCI-compliant per its datasheet specifications: VOH ≥2.4 V at -2 mA, VOL ≤0.55 V at 3–6 mA, and meets PCI AC drive requirements including IOH(AC) and IOL(AC) curves. Its 5V-tolerant I/O structure and programmable high-drive mode allow direct connection to PCI slots without external buffers or level translators. The ATF1502AS-15JI maintains this compliance across its full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
How does the pin-keeper feature function on the ATF1502AS-15JI, and what design benefit does it provide?
The ATF1502AS-15JI's programmable pin-keeper circuit latches the last driven logic state (high or low) on any input or I/O pin when left floating, preventing indeterminate voltage levels that cause shoot-through current and EMI. This eliminates the need for external pull-up/pull-down resistors and their associated DC power loss-critical in battery-powered or thermally constrained systems. The ATF1502AS-15JI implements this at the silicon level with no user logic resource consumption.
Can the ATF1502AS-15JI be programmed in-system, and what interface is required?
Yes, the ATF1502AS-15JI supports full in-system programming (ISP) via the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface using four dedicated pins: TDI, TDO, TMS, and TCK. Programming can be performed with Atmel-provided tools or third-party SVF-compatible programmers without removing the device from the PCB. When JTAG is disabled in the design, those four pins revert to general-purpose I/O, preserving all macrocell functionality-including buried feedback-on those pins. The ATF1502AS-15JI ships pre-erased and ready for first-time ISP.
What power-saving modes are available on the ATF1502AS-15JI, and how are they activated?
The ATF1502AS-15JI offers three distinct power-saving modes: (1) automatic 10 µA standby (L-version only), (2) pin-controlled 1 mA standby via PD1/PD2 inputs, and (3) per-macrocell reduced-power mode activated by compiler-generated bits. The PD1/PD2 mode is enabled in the design source file; asserting either pin high latches internal states and holds outputs valid while blocking all other inputs. The ATF1502AS-15JI maintains full boundary-scan and ISP capability even in standby modes.
