Product details
Overview
ATF1504AS-7AX44 from Microchip Technology (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 where in-system programmability and deterministic timing are critical.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1504AS-7AX44 datasheet, ATF1504AS-7AX44 pinout, ATF1504AS-7AX44 application, or ATF1504AS-7AX44 equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (44-lead TQFP), confirmed JTAG ISP compliance (IEEE 1149.1a), PCI electrical compatibility, 3.3V/5.0V I/O flexibility, and validated power-down behavior with PD1/PD2 control - all essential for embedded system integration and BOM continuity planning.
Technical Context
The ATF1504AS-7AX44 employs a global bus architecture feeding up to 40 signals into each logic block's switch matrix, enabling high routing resource utilization and successful pin-locked design revisions. Its macrocell structure integrates OR/XOR/CASCADE logic, configurable D/T/latch flip-flops, and foldback feedback to support complex sum-of-products with up to 40-term fan-in across four independent logic chains.
It supports three global clock inputs (GCLK1–GCLK3), input transition detection (ITD) on clocks/I/Os, fast registered input from product terms, and programmable pin-keeper circuits. The device uses electrically-erasable EEPROM technology with 10,000 program/erase cycles, 20-year data retention, and security fuse protection - all verified per Rev. 0950N–PLD–07/02.

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Adding isolated digital I/O channels to programmable logic controllers using existing 24V or 5V backplane interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Glue logic CPLD implementing address decoding, strobe synchronization, and level translation between microcontroller and opto-isolated I/O modules. Use Value: Enables deterministic 7.5 ns response time and 125 MHz register clocking for real-time I/O scanning, while reducing component count versus discrete TTL solutions. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing modern microcontrollers to legacy ISA, PC/104, or VMEbus peripherals requiring strict timing and drive strength. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Timing-critical bus controller managing wait-state insertion, address latching, and PCI-compliant drive for 33 MHz bus cycles.

| Field-Upgradeable Firmware Logic | Power-Sensitive Sensor Hub Control |
Use Scenario: Implementing reconfigurable boot logic and configuration registers in medical or test equipment requiring post-deployment firmware updates. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: In-system programmable logic handling JTAG-based field updates, secure signature validation, and hardware-enforced boot sequence control. Use Value: Enables zero-downtime field upgrades via ISP without removing the device; security fuse prevents reverse engineering of proprietary initialization sequences. |
Use Scenario: Managing sensor multiplexing, ADC trigger sequencing, and low-power wake-up logic in battery-operated environmental monitoring nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power CPLD coordinating ultra-low-current sleep (10 µA standby), fast wake-on-event (ITD detection), and burst-mode data acquisition. Use Value: Reduces average system current by >90% versus FPGA alternatives; pin-keeper circuits prevent floating inputs during deep sleep, eliminating leakage-induced battery drain. |
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-7VQ44C | 64 macrocells, 7 ns speed, 3.3V-only I/O, no 5V tolerance; lower ICC1 (25 mA std mode) | Lacks 5V I/O compatibility and PCI drive; requires external level shifters for mixed-voltage systems | Select when 3.3V-only operation and lowest possible active current are prioritized over legacy interface support |
| EPM3064ATC44-7 | 64 macrocells, 7 ns speed, 3.3V core/5V-tolerant I/O; non-EEPROM (SRAM + config flash); requires external configuration device | No in-system programmability without external SPI flash; higher boot latency; no security fuse | Select when higher density variants (e.g., EPM3128) are needed later, or when Intel toolchain ecosystem is mandated |
Compared with XCR3064XL-7VQ44C and EPM3064ATC44-7, the ATF1504AS-7AX44 uniquely combines 5V/3.3V I/O tolerance, true single-chip ISP without external memory, EEPROM-based nonvolatility, and PCI-compliant drive - making it the only drop-in solution for retrofitting legacy industrial controllers with field-upgradable logic.
Availability
ATF1504AS-7AX44 is available at Aetrix Electronics and suitable for industrial PLC expansion, legacy bus bridging, field-upgradeable firmware logic, and power-sensitive sensor hub control requiring stable component supply across extended product lifecycles.
Supply support for ATF1504AS-7AX44 includes scheduled delivery planning, volume procurement assistance, BOM continuity management, traceable sourcing, and lifecycle availability coordination for OEM customers, industrial embedded developers, connected-device designers, and electronics production programs.
Manufacturer
Microchip Technology acquired Atmel in 2016 and maintains full support for the ATF1504AS family, including datasheets, programming tools, and long-term supply commitments for industrial-grade devices.
The ATF1504AS series was designed as a high-reliability, EEPROM-based CPLD for mission-critical industrial and automotive-adjacent applications requiring zero-config nonvolatility, deterministic timing, and robust in-system programmability - distinct from SRAM-based FPGAs or flash-based alternatives.
FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for ATF1504AS-7AX44?
The ATF1504AS-7AX44 is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is confirmed in the DC Operating Conditions table (page 11) of Rev. 0950N–PLD–07/02, and applies to both 3.3V and 5.0V I/O configurations. The device meets full AC timing performance across this range at the –7 speed grade.
Does ATF1504AS-7AX44 support 5V-tolerant I/O when powered at 3.3V?
Yes, ATF1504AS-7AX44 supports 5V-tolerant I/O pins even when VCCIO = 3.3V. Per the DC Characteristics table (page 11), VIH(max) = VCCIO + 0.3V and absolute maximum rating allows +7.0V on I/O pins - enabling safe interfacing with 5V logic families without external level shifters. This is a key differentiator from many 3.3V-only CPLDs.
How is the security fuse implemented in ATF1504AS-7AX44?
The ATF1504AS-7AX44 includes a one-time programmable security fuse that, once blown, inhibits readback of the internal fuse pattern. However, the 16-bit User Signature register remains fully accessible regardless of fuse state - allowing traceability and version tracking. Programming the fuse does not affect functionality, only intellectual property protection.
Can ATF1504AS-7AX44 operate with only one power supply voltage?
No. ATF1504AS-7AX44 requires separate VCCINT (core) and VCCIO (I/O) supplies. For 5.0V operation, both are 5.0V ±5%; for 3.3V operation, VCCIO is 3.0–3.6V while VCCINT remains 5.0V. This dual-supply architecture enables mixed-voltage I/O while maintaining core logic integrity - explicitly defined in the DC Operating Conditions section.
What JTAG instructions are supported by ATF1504AS-7AX44?
ATF1504AS-7AX44 supports five IEEE 1149.1a JTAG instructions: SAMPLE/PRELOAD, EXTEST, BYPASS, IDCODE, and HIGHZ. These enable full boundary-scan testing, device identification, and ISP programming. The BSDL file fully describes the instruction register and boundary-scan cell behavior - required for automated test equipment integration.
