Product details
Overview
ATF1504AS-15JC44 from Microchip (formerly Atmel) is a high-density, electrically-erasable Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) with 64 macrocells, 5 product terms per macrocell (expandable to 40), 7.5 ns pin-to-pin delay, and support for 125 MHz registered operation. It implements flexible logic functions in industrial control, legacy interface bridging, and board-level glue logic.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1504AS-15JC44 datasheet, ATF1504AS-15JC44 pinout, ATF1504AS-15JC44 application, or ATF1504AS-15JC44 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for CPLD-based system integration.
Technical Context
The ATF1504AS-15JC44 uses a global bus architecture feeding up to 40 signals into each logic block's switch matrix, enabling high routing utilization and successful pin-locked design iterations. Its macrocell supports D/T/latch flip-flops, programmable output slew rate, open-collector outputs, and buried registered feedback within combinatorial outputs.
It integrates three global clock inputs (GCLK1–GCLK3), input transition detection (ITD) on clocks/I/Os, fast registered input paths, and JTAG-compliant IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan testing. Power management includes automatic µA standby (L-version), pin-controlled 1 mA power-down, and per-macrocell reduced-power mode.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPLD applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCR3064XL-10VQ44C | 64 macrocells, 3.3 V only, 10 ns tPD, no 5 V tolerance | Requires level-shifting in 5 V systems; lacks PD1/PD2 power-down pins | Select when migrating to lower-voltage designs with existing Xilinx toolchain support. |
| EPM3064ATC44-10N | 64 macrocells, 3.3 V core/5 V I/O tolerant, 10 ns tPD, different JTAG BSDL | Higher static current (ICC1 = 50 mA vs. 105 mA std mode); no pin-keeper option | Choose for Intel Quartus compatibility and mixed-voltage I/O flexibility where pin-keeper is not required. |
Compared with XCR3064XL-10VQ44C and EPM3064ATC44-10N, the ATF1504AS-15JC44 uniquely supports native 5 V operation, integrated pin-keeper circuits eliminating external resistors, and dual-mode power-down (µA standby + 1 mA pin-controlled), making it optimal for legacy industrial systems requiring zero-BOM-change upgrades.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the ATF1504AS-15JC44?
The ATF1504AS-15JC44 supports registered operation up to 125 MHz, as confirmed by its –15 speed grade rating and AC characteristic fCNT = 125 MHz (tCNT = 8 ns minimum global clock period). This applies to synchronous logic using GCLK1–GCLK3 inputs with all macrocells configured in registered mode and reduced-power features disabled. The ATF1504AS-15JC44 achieves this performance while maintaining 7.5 ns pin-to-pin delay in combinatorial paths.
Does the ATF1504AS-15JC44 support 3.3 V I/O operation?
No, the ATF1504AS-15JC44 is a 5 V-only device: its VCCIO and VCCINT specifications require 5.0 V ±5%, with no 3.3 V tolerance. It cannot operate reliably at 3.3 V supply levels. For 3.3 V systems, engineers should consider alternatives like the ATF1504ASL-15JC44 (low-power variant with same 5 V operation) or migrate to newer 3.3 V CPLDs. The ATF1504AS-15JC44 datasheet explicitly lists "5V ±5%" under DC Operating Conditions with no 3.3 V entry.
How does the pin-keeper feature work on the ATF1504AS-15JC44?
The ATF1504AS-15JC44's programmable pin-keeper circuit holds 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 noise. Enabled per-pin in the design file, it eliminates external pull-up/pull-down resistors. This feature remains active during ISP programming, preserving system stability - a capability confirmed in the "ISP Programming Protection" section of the ATF1504AS-15JC44 datasheet.
Can the ATF1504AS-15JC44 be used in PCI-compliant designs?
Yes, the ATF1504AS-15JC44 is explicitly PCI-compliant per Peripheral Component Interconnect Specification Rev. 2.2. It delivers 24 mA sink/source drive strength, low output-to-output skew, and meets PCI voltage/current curves without external components. Its programmable high-drive mode operates without increasing output delay or pin capacitance - a key advantage documented in the "PCI Compliance" section of the ATF1504AS-15JC44 datasheet.
What JTAG signals are available on the ATF1504AS-15JC44 44-pin TQFP package?
The ATF1504AS-15JC44 44-pin TQFP exposes four dedicated JTAG pins: TDI (Pin 1), TMS (Pin 7), TCK (Pin 17), and TDO (Pin 13). Pins TMS and TDI include optional internal pull-up resistors enabled via design configuration. These pins support IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan testing and in-system programming (ISP) using SVF files. When JTAG is disabled in the fuse map, all four become general-purpose I/Os - a capability verified in the "JTAG-BST/ISP Overview" section of the ATF1504AS-15JC44 datasheet.
