Product details
Overview
ATF1504AS-7JC68 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), and 7.5 ns pin-to-pin delay. It supports registered operation up to 125 MHz, operates at 5.0 V or 3.3 V I/O, and features JTAG-based in-system programmability (ISP) compliant with IEEE 1149.1. It is used in legacy industrial control logic consolidation and PCI-compliant interface bridging.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1504AS-7JC68 datasheet, ATF1504AS-7JC68 pinout, ATF1504AS-7JC68 application, or ATF1504AS-7JC68 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 68-pin PLCC package, 5V/3.3V I/O flexibility, JTAG boundary-scan test support, PCI-compliant drive capability, and programmable power-down via PD1/PD2 pins.
Technical Context
The ATF1504AS-7JC68 implements a hierarchical CPLD architecture with four logic blocks, each fed by a global bus carrying all 68 I/O signals plus 64 buried macrocell feedbacks. Its switch matrix selects up to 40 signals per block for routing into macrocells.
Each macrocell integrates five product-term AND-OR logic, XOR for arithmetic/comparison, D/T/latch-configurable flip-flop with global or product-term clocking, and flexible output enable controlled by dedicated OE pins or individual product terms. Three global clock inputs (GCLK1–GCLK3) support synchronous design with ITD circuits for input transition detection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Density | 64 macrocells - provides gate count equivalent to ~1500–2000 usable gates for TTL/SSI/MSI replacement |
| Timing Performance | 7.5 ns max pin-to-pin delay (–7 speed grade) - enables reliable operation at 125 MHz registered frequency |
| I/O Voltage Support | 3.3 V or 5.0 V - allows direct interfacing with mixed-voltage systems without level shifters |
| Power Management | 10 µA standby current ("L" version) and pin-controlled 1 mA power-down - reduces idle power in battery-backed or low-power industrial modules |
| Programmability | In-system programmable via IEEE 1149.1 JTAG - permits field firmware updates and eliminates socket programming |
| Reliability | 10,000 program/erase cycles and 20-year data retention - suitable for long-lifecycle industrial deployments |
| Compliance | PCI-compliant outputs and IEEE 1149.1a boundary-scan - meets requirements for plug-in card validation and system-level testability |
Pinout & Package
ATF1504AS-7JC68 is housed in a 68-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with 0.050" lead pitch and JEDEC-standard footprint. The package is RoHS-compliant and rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–68 (see top view) | Bi-directional I/O or dedicated function | 64 general-purpose I/O pins; 4 dedicated inputs (GCLK1, GCLK2/OE2, GCLR, OE1); PD1 and PD2 serve as power-down control inputs when enabled |
| GCLK1 / GCLK2 / GCLK3 | Global clock input | Three independent global clock sources - enable multi-clock domain designs and reduce routing congestion |
| GCLR | Global asynchronous clear | Asynchronous reset signal for all macrocell flip-flops - ensures deterministic state initialization on power-up or fault recovery |
| OE1 / OE2 | Output enable control | Dedicated output enable pins - allow group-level tristate control without consuming product terms or macrocell resources |
| PD1 / PD2 | Power-down control | Active-high pins that force device into <10 mA power-down mode - preserves register and output states while blocking all inputs except PD pins |
| TCK / TMS / TDI / TDO | JTAG test access port | IEEE 1149.1-compliant boundary-scan and ISP interface - enables board-level test, debug, and reprogramming without physical access to device |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flexible macrocell configuration | D/T/latch flip-flop, programmable output slew rate, open-collector option, and buried registered feedback - enables precise timing control and logic reuse across diverse functions |
| Enhanced routing resources | 40-signal global bus + regional foldback bus - increases successful place-and-route yield for pin-locked revisions and complex combinatorial logic |
| Advanced power management | Per-macrocell reduced-power bit, automatic µA standby, and pin-keeper circuits - cuts dynamic and static power without sacrificing I/O integrity or signal stability |
| Security and traceability | Programmable security fuse + 16-bit user signature register - prevents unauthorized cloning while supporting revision tracking and project identification |
| PCI-compliant I/O | High-current drivers with low output skew - meets PCI electrical specs for add-in cards without external buffers or layout compromises |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPLD-based logic consolidation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCR3064XL-7VQG44C | 64 macrocells, 44-pin VQFP, 3.3 V only, 7.5 ns propagation, Xilinx CoolRunner-II architecture | Lacks PCI-compliant drive and 5 V I/O tolerance; requires external level shifting for mixed-voltage systems | Preferred for new 3.3 V-only designs with lower static power (25 µA typical) and smaller footprint |
| EPM3064ATC44-7 | 64 macrocells, 44-pin TQFP, 3.3 V core/5 V I/O tolerant, 7.5 ns, Intel MAX 3000A family | No JTAG boundary-scan; uses proprietary programming interface; no built-in power-down pin control | Suitable when JTAG test access is not required and legacy MAX toolchain familiarity exists |
Compared with ATF1504AS-7JC68, the XCR3064XL offers lower static power but sacrifices 5 V I/O and PCI compliance; the EPM3064ATC44 retains 5 V tolerance but lacks IEEE 1149.1 test infrastructure and programmable power-down - making ATF1504AS-7JC68 uniquely suited for field-serviceable, mixed-voltage industrial control.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for ATF1504AS-7JC68?
The ATF1504AS-7JC68 supports dual I/O voltage operation: 3.0–3.6 V for 3.3 V mode and 4.5–5.5 V for 5.0 V mode (industrial range). Core logic operates from VCCINT, which matches the selected I/O voltage. This dual-voltage capability allows direct interfacing with both legacy 5 V and modern 3.3 V subsystems without external level shifters - a key advantage in mixed-signal industrial designs where ATF1504AS-7JC68 is deployed.
Does ATF1504AS-7JC68 support JTAG boundary-scan testing?
Yes, ATF1504AS-7JC68 fully supports IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990 and 1149.1a-1993 boundary-scan testing. All 64 I/O pins and four dedicated inputs have dedicated boundary-scan cells (BSCs), enabling comprehensive board-level interconnect testing. The JTAG TAP controller is automatically reset at power-up, eliminating the need for a TRST pin. This capability is integral to production test flow for systems using ATF1504AS-7JC68 in mission-critical industrial hardware.
How does the power-down feature work on ATF1504AS-7JC68?
The ATF1504AS-7JC68 includes two dedicated power-down pins (PD1 and PD2). When either is driven high, the device enters a sub-10 mA power-down state while latching all internal register and output states. Inputs (except PD pins) are blocked, and pin-keeper circuits prevent floating. This feature is enabled in the design file and is especially valuable in battery-backed or thermally constrained applications where ATF1504AS-7JC68 must retain configuration during idle periods without compromising signal integrity.
Can ATF1504AS-7JC68 be used in PCI-compliant designs?
Yes, ATF1504AS-7JC68 is explicitly designed for PCI compliance, featuring high-current output drivers with low output-to-output skew and meeting PCI electrical specifications without external components. Its programmable drive strength and 5 V-tolerant I/O make it suitable for add-in card control logic in PCI-based data acquisition and instrumentation systems - a verified use case documented in Atmel's original application notes for ATF1504AS-7JC68.
What is the maximum number of product terms per macrocell in ATF1504AS-7JC68?
The ATF1504AS-7JC68 has five base product terms per macrocell, expandable up to 40 via cascade logic from neighboring macrocells. This expansion is implemented automatically by the fitter software and enables efficient synthesis of wide sum-of-products logic - critical for address decoders, state machine next-state logic, and complex combinatorial functions in designs utilizing ATF1504AS-7JC68 as the central glue logic element.
