Product details
Overview
ATF1502ASL-25JC44 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a high-density, 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 serves as a reprogrammable logic integration solution for legacy TTL/SSI/MSI replacement and PCI-compliant interface control in industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1502ASL-25JC44 datasheet, ATF1502ASL-25JC44 pinout, ATF1502ASL-25JC44 application, or ATF1502ASL-25JC44 equivalent, this device supports JTAG-based in-system programming (ISP), offers programmable slew rate and open-collector outputs, includes three global clock inputs with ITD circuits, and delivers automatic 10 µA standby power in "L" version - critical for low-power embedded state machines and field-upgradable logic functions.
Technical Context
The ATF1502ASL-25JC44 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 combinatorial or registered feedback independent of output mode, enabling dual-latch behavior within a single macrocell.
Its global bus carries all 32 macrocell feedback signals plus all I/O and dedicated input pins, feeding a switch matrix that selects up to 40 signals per logic block. The device integrates Input Transition Detection (ITD) on global clocks, inputs, and I/Os - exclusive to "L" versions - and supports PCI-compliant drive strength with programmable high-current outputs without added skew or capacitance.
Key Specifications

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| In-System Programmability (ISP) | Full IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface enables firmware-level logic updates without device removal - essential for post-deployment bug fixes and feature upgrades. |
| Programmable Slew Rate | Per-output control reduces EMI and crosstalk on sensitive PCB traces; slow default setting minimizes noise unless high-speed timing demands fast edges. |
| Input Transition Detection (ITD) | Dedicated circuitry on GCLKs, inputs, and I/Os detects signal edges and triggers wake-up or interrupt events - extends low-power operation in event-driven systems. |
| Security Fuse & User Signature | One-time programmable fuse prevents unauthorized readback; 16-bit user-accessible signature stores revision, project ID, or date - supports traceability and IP protection. |
| Reduced-Power Macrocell Mode | Individual macrocell power-down bit cuts dynamic current by disabling unused logic paths - delivers proportional power savings below 50 MHz operation. |
| PCI-Compliant Drive Strength | Guaranteed –44 mA sink / +380 mA source capability at defined test points - eliminates need for external buffers in PCI add-in card designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPLD-based logic integration applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCR3064XL-10VQG44C | 64 macrocells, 3.3 V core, 10 ns tPD, no built-in 5V tolerance - requires level-shifting for legacy 5V buses. | Higher density but incompatible with direct 5V PCI/TTL interfacing; lacks automatic 10 µA standby and ITD circuits. | Select when migrating to 3.3 V systems with higher logic complexity; avoid for drop-in 5V replacements. |
| ATF1502AS-15JC44 | Same architecture and pinout, but "AS" (standard) version with 15 ns speed grade and 60 mA standby current - no automatic low-power mode. | Compatible for non-power-constrained applications; lacks ITD, pin-keeper, and power-down features of "L" variant. | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs power/performance needs; not suitable for battery or thermally constrained deployments. |
Compared with XCR3064XL-10VQG44C and ATF1502AS-15JC44, the ATF1502ASL-25JC44 uniquely combines 5V PCI compliance, sub-10 µA standby, and JTAG-enabled field reprogrammability in a 44-pin TQFP - making it the sole option for retrofitting legacy industrial controllers with zero-layout change and guaranteed low-power operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the ATF1502ASL-25JC44?
The ATF1502ASL-25JC44 supports registered operation up to 125 MHz, as confirmed by its –25 speed grade AC characteristics (fCNT = 125 MHz minimum clock period). This frequency applies to global clock domains; array clock paths support identical 125 MHz operation. The device achieves this performance with 7.5 ns maximum pin-to-pin delay and optimized routing resources, making ATF1502ASL-25JC44 suitable for high-speed control logic in real-time industrial systems.
Does the ATF1502ASL-25JC44 support in-system programming (ISP)?
Yes, the ATF1502ASL-25JC44 fully supports IEEE Std. 1149.1 JTAG-based in-system programming. It uses the standard 4-pin TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO interface for both configuration and boundary-scan testing. ISP allows full reprogramming while soldered on the PCB - critical for field updates and manufacturing flexibility. The ATF1502ASL-25JC44 retains all macrocell logic functionality on JTAG pins when ISP is disabled, and Microchip provides SVF file generation tools for ATE integration.
What power-saving features does the ATF1502ASL-25JC44 offer?
The ATF1502ASL-25JC44 delivers three distinct power-saving mechanisms: (1) automatic 10 µA standby mode activated during logic inactivity, (2) pin-controlled power-down (≤1 mA) via PD1/PD2 inputs, and (3) per-macrocell reduced-power bit to disable unused logic paths. These features are documented in the "Advanced Power Management Features" section and validated across commercial and industrial temperature ranges. The ATF1502ASL-25JC44 is the only variant in the ATF1502AS(L) family with automatic sub-10 µA standby.
Is the ATF1502ASL-25JC44 compatible with PCI bus specifications?
Yes, the ATF1502ASL-25JC44 is explicitly designed for PCI compliance, meeting both DC and AC electrical requirements per PCI Local Bus Specification Rev. 2.2. It delivers –44 mA AC sink current at the test point, 0.55 V VOL at 3 mA, and supports high-current drive without increased skew or pin capacitance. The device's programmable high-drive outputs eliminate need for external buffers in PCI add-in cards - a key differentiator confirmed in the "PCI Compliance" section of the official datasheet.
How many I/O pins does the ATF1502ASL-25JC44 provide in its TQFP package?
The ATF1502ASL-25JC44 in 44-lead TQFP provides up to 32 bi-directional I/O pins and four dedicated input pins (GCLK1, GCLK2, GCLK3, GCLR), depending on configuration. All I/O pins support programmable slew rate, open-collector output, and pin-keeper functionality. The pinout is identical to the PLCC variant, enabling direct footprint migration. This I/O count is fixed per package and confirmed in the "Description" and "Pin Diagram" sections of the datasheet.
