Product details
Overview
ATF1502AS-7AC44 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 PCI-compliant 5V I/O in industrial control and embedded system glue logic.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1502AS-7AC44 datasheet, ATF1502AS-7AC44 pinout, ATF1502AS-7AC44 application, or ATF1502AS-7AC44 equivalent, key selection criteria include its JTAG-based in-system programmability, programmable slew rate and open-collector outputs, three global clock inputs, input transition detection circuits, and pin-controlled power-down mode with sub-1 mA standby current.
Technical Context
The ATF1502AS-7AC44 implements a flexible macrocell architecture with five sections per macrocell: product term generation and select multiplexer, OR/XOR/cascade logic, D/T-latch configurable flip-flop, output select/enable, and logic array inputs. Each macrocell supports buried registered feedback and combinatorial output with registered feedback within the same cell.
It features a global bus carrying all 32 macrocell feedback signals plus all I/O and dedicated input pins, feeding into switch matrices that select up to 40 signals per logic block. Four regional foldback buses support high-fan-in sum-term logic with up to nine product terms per region and low-delay cascade chains supporting up to 40-product-term fan-in.
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43 | I/O or dedicated input | Configurable as bidirectional I/O, global control (GCLR/OE1/OE2/GCLK), or fast input with ITD; pin-keeper option prevents floating. |
| 44 | TCK / I/O | JTAG test clock input; also usable as general-purpose I/O when JTAG disabled. |
| 43 | TDO / I/O | JTAG test data output; tri-state during normal operation unless configured as I/O. |
| 42 | TMS / I/O | JTAG test mode select; pull-up option available; functions as I/O if JTAG not enabled. |
| 41 | TDI / I/O | JTAG test data input; pull-up option available; serves as I/O when JTAG unused. |
| 20, 21 | PD1 / PD2 | Pin-controlled power-down inputs - high = enter sub-5 mA standby; disables logic but holds outputs and internal state. |
| 11, 12, 13 | GCLK1 / GCLK2 / GCLK3 | Dedicated global clock inputs with integrated Input Transition Detection (ITD) for asynchronous edge capture. |
| 10 | GCLR / I | Global asynchronous clear input - resets all registers; can be OR'd with product term for conditional reset. |
| 9, 8 | OE1 / OE2 | Global output enable pins - control tri-state behavior across multiple macrocells; true/complement selectable per I/O. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| In-System Programmability (ISP) | IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface enables field reprogramming without device removal; four reserved pins (TCK/TDO/TMS/TDI) retain full macrocell functionality for logic use. |
| Programmable Slew Rate | Per-output control allows slow switching (default) or fast switching - reduces EMI and crosstalk on noise-sensitive PCB traces. |
| Input Transition Detection (ITD) | Hardware edge-detection on GCLK, dedicated inputs, and I/O pins enables reliable asynchronous event capture without external logic or CPU polling. |
| Security Fuse & User Signature | One-time programmable security fuse blocks readback of configuration; 16-bit user-accessible signature stores project ID, revision, or date regardless of fuse state. |
| Power-up Reset with Hysteresis | Configurable small/large hysteresis ensures deterministic register initialization at power-on; large hysteresis reduces ICC by several hundred µA. |
| PCI-Compliant Output Drivers | 5V-tolerant outputs meet PCI specification for sink/source current (±44 mA AC, 3 mA/6 mA DC), skew, and voltage thresholds - no external buffers required. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Legacy System Interface Bridge |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPLD applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATF1502AS-10AC44 | Slower speed grade: 10 ns max pin-to-pin delay, 100 MHz max registered frequency vs. 7.5 ns / 125 MHz. | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs with relaxed timing margins; identical pinout and feature set. | Select when design timing slack exceeds 2.5 ns and power budget permits higher ICC1 (75 mA vs. 60 mA typical). |
| ATF1502ASL-7AC44 | Low-power "L" variant: 10 µA automatic standby vs. 1 mA pin-controlled standby; same speed grade and pinout. | Better suited for battery-backed or thermally constrained systems requiring ultra-low quiescent current during idle periods. | Choose when standby current is critical and PD1/PD2 pin control is unnecessary; note reduced ICC3 in reduced-power mode. |
Compared with ATF1502AS-10AC44 and ATF1502ASL-7AC44, the ATF1502AS-7AC44 delivers the highest registered frequency (125 MHz) and lowest propagation delay (7.5 ns) among the AS family, while retaining full JTAG ISP, PCI compliance, and macrocell-level power control - making it optimal for performance-critical industrial and test equipment designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the ATF1502AS-7AC44?
The ATF1502AS-7AC44 supports registered operation up to 125 MHz, verified by its 7.5 ns maximum pin-to-pin delay and 8 ns minimum global clock period (tCNT). This frequency applies to synchronous logic paths using global clocks GCLK1–GCLK3; array-clock paths support the same 125 MHz maximum. The device achieves this performance while maintaining full JTAG boundary-scan testability and PCI-compliant I/O drive strength.
Does the ATF1502AS-7AC44 support in-system programming (ISP)?
Yes, the ATF1502AS-7AC44 fully supports IEEE Std. 1149.1 JTAG-based in-system programming. Its four dedicated JTAG pins (TCK, TDO, TMS, TDI) allow configuration without removing the device from the PCB. Even when used for ISP, the associated macrocells retain full logic functionality - enabling simultaneous use of JTAG resources and user-defined logic. Serial Vector Format (SVF) files are supported for ATE integration.
What power-saving modes does the ATF1502AS-7AC44 offer?
The ATF1502AS-7AC44 provides three distinct power-saving mechanisms: (1) pin-controlled 1 mA standby via PD1/PD2 inputs, (2) per-macrocell reduced-power bit to disable unused logic, and (3) programmable output slew rate to minimize dynamic switching current. Unlike the "L" version, it does not feature automatic 10 µA standby, but retains full ITD and PCI drive capability in all low-power states.
Is the ATF1502AS-7AC44 compatible with PCI bus specifications?
Yes, the ATF1502AS-7AC44 meets Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) electrical requirements for 5V signaling, including output low voltage ≤ 0.55 V at 3 mA sink current, output high voltage ≥ 2.4 V at 4 mA source current, and AC drive capability of –44 mA (high) and +95 mA (low). Its low output-to-output skew and programmable high-drive mode eliminate need for external buffers in PCI add-in card designs.
How many I/O pins does the ATF1502AS-7AC44 have, and what are their capabilities?
The ATF1502AS-7AC44 provides up to 32 bi-directional I/O pins plus four dedicated input pins (GCLR, OE1, OE2, GCLKx), all configurable as inputs, outputs, or bidirectional ports. Each I/O supports programmable slew rate, open-collector output option, pin-keeper circuitry to prevent floating, and individual output enable control. Dedicated pins double as global control signals - e.g., GCLK1–GCLK3 serve both as clocks and ITD-enabled fast inputs.
