Product details
Overview
ATF1504AS-15QI100 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a high-density, electrically-erasable Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) with 64 macrocells, 7.5 ns pin-to-pin delay, and support for 125 MHz registered operation. It features in-system programmability via IEEE 1149.1 JTAG, PCI-compliant I/O drivers, and flexible macrocell configuration including D/T/latch flip-flops and programmable slew rate - deployed in industrial control logic, legacy interface bridging, and reconfigurable glue logic on embedded PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1504AS-15QI100 datasheet, ATF1504AS-15QI100 pinout, ATF1504AS-15QI100 application, or ATF1504AS-15QI100 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100-lead TQFP package with dedicated global clock pins (GCLK1–GCLK3), dual-voltage I/O (3.3 V / 5.0 V), JTAG boundary-scan compliance, and power-down capability via PD1/PD2 pins - all critical for field-upgradable industrial designs requiring deterministic timing and low-power standby.
Technical Context
The ATF1504AS-15QI100 implements a hierarchical CPLD architecture with four logic blocks, each fed by a 40-signal global bus carrying inputs, I/O feedback, and buried macrocell outputs. Its macrocells support combinatorial or registered outputs with foldback logic, cascade chains up to 40 product terms, and ITD (Input Transition Detection) circuits on global clocks and I/Os.
It uses electrically-erasable EEPROM technology enabling 10,000 program/erase cycles and 20-year data retention, with security fuse protection and 16-bit user signature storage. The device supports both standard and "L"-version power management: automatic µA standby, pin-controlled 1 mA power-down, and per-macrocell reduced-power mode with tRPA adder penalty.

Pinout & Package
ATF1504AS-15QI100 is housed in a 100-lead Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP) with 0.5 mm lead pitch and exposed thermal pad. Pin functions include 64 bidirectional I/Os, 4 dedicated input pins (GCLR, OE1, GCLK1, GCLK2), 1 dedicated GCLK3/I/O, 2 power-down pins (PD1, PD2), 4 JTAG pins (TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK), and multiple VCCIO/VCCINT/GND rails distributed for noise reduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GCLK1, GCLK2, GCLK3 | Global Clock Input / Output | Three independent clock sources; GCLK3 is bidirectional - enables multi-clock domain synchronization and clock-gating logic. |
| GCLR | Global Clear Input | Asynchronous reset for all macrocell flip-flops - used for system-wide initialization or fault recovery without software intervention. |
| OE1, OE2 | Output Enable Inputs | Dedicated pins controlling output enable per macrocell group - simplifies bus arbitration and tri-state control in shared-data-path designs. |
| PD1, PD2 | Power-down Control | Active-high pins triggering sub-10 mA standby - allows hardware-triggered low-power mode during sleep or maintenance intervals. |
| TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK | JTAG Test Access Port | Standard 4-pin interface for boundary-scan test and ISP programming - eliminates need for dedicated programming headers or fixtures. |
| VCCIO / VCCINT | Power Supply Rails | VCCIO sets I/O voltage (3.3 V or 5.0 V); VCCINT powers core logic - decoupled supplies reduce switching noise and improve signal integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Slew Rate | Per-output control between fast/slow switching - reduces EMI and crosstalk on high-speed buses while preserving timing margins. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPLD applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCR3064XL-10VQ100C | 64 macrocells, 10 ns delay, 3.3 V only, Flash-based non-volatile config - no EEPROM endurance rating or 5 V I/O support. | Lower power in active mode but lacks pin-compatible 5 V tolerance - requires level-shifting when interfacing with legacy 5 V peripherals. | Select for new 3.3 V-only designs prioritizing lower static current; avoid when backward compatibility with 5 V logic is required. |
| EPM3064ATC100-10 | 64 macrocells, 10 ns delay, 3.3 V core/5 V tolerant I/O, SRAM+EEPROM config - requires external configuration device at power-up. | Higher pin count overhead due to configuration interface; no integrated security fuse - less suitable for tamper-resistant applications. | Prefer when design already uses Intel MAX II infrastructure and external config EEPROM is acceptable; verify JTAG chain compatibility. |
Compared with XCR3064XL-10VQ100C and EPM3064ATC100-10, the ATF1504AS-15QI100 uniquely combines 5 V-tolerant I/O, EEPROM non-volatility with 10,000-cycle endurance, and integrated power-down control - making it the only option supporting hot-swap-capable, field-reprogrammable industrial glue logic without external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the ATF1504AS-15QI100 in registered mode?
The ATF1504AS-15QI100 supports registered operation up to 125 MHz, as confirmed by its –15 speed grade AC specification (fCNT = 125 MHz). This value is measured under worst-case conditions (VCC = 5.0 V ±5%, TA = 85°C) and applies to global clock domains driving macrocell registers. The ATF1504AS-15QI100 achieves this using optimized routing resources and low-skew clock distribution across its four logic blocks.
Does the ATF1504AS-15QI100 support both 3.3 V and 5.0 V I/O signaling?
Yes, the ATF1504AS-15QI100 supports dual-voltage I/O: VCCIO can be set to either 3.0–3.6 V or 4.75–5.25 V, enabling direct interfacing with both 3.3 V microcontrollers and legacy 5 V peripherals. This is implemented via separate VCCIO and VCCINT rails - the ATF1504AS-15QI100 does not require external level shifters when bridging mixed-voltage subsystems.
How is in-system programming (ISP) implemented on the ATF1504AS-15QI100?
The ATF1504AS-15QI100 implements ISP via its IEEE 1149.1-compliant 4-pin JTAG interface (TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK), allowing full programming and boundary-scan testing without device removal. Programming is performed using SVF files generated by Microchip's design tools or third-party vendors. The ATF1504AS-15QI100 remains fully functional during ISP, with pin-keeper circuits preserving I/O states to avoid system disruption.
What power management features are available on the ATF1504AS-15QI100?
The ATF1504AS-15QI100 offers three layered power-saving mechanisms: (1) automatic µA standby when idle, (2) pin-controlled power-down (<10 mA) via PD1/PD2, and (3) per-macrocell reduced-power mode adding tRPA delay. These are configurable in the design file and do not require external circuitry - a key advantage of the ATF1504AS-15QI100 over competing CPLDs lacking fine-grained power control.
Is the ATF1504AS-15QI100 pin-compatible with other ATF1504AS variants?
The ATF1504AS-15QI100 shares identical pinout and functionality with other 100-lead TQFP variants (e.g., ATF1504AS-10QI100, ATF1504ASL-15QI100), differing only in speed grade (–15 vs –10) and power mode ("L" vs standard). All 100-lead packages use the same mechanical footprint and signal mapping - the ATF1504AS-15QI100 can be substituted for slower or low-power versions without layout changes, provided timing margins are verified.
