Product details
Overview
ATF1504ASL-20AC44 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), and 7.5 ns maximum pin-to-pin delay. It operates up to 125 MHz in registered mode, supports JTAG-based in-system programming (ISP), and targets logic consolidation in industrial control, communications interface bridging, and legacy TTL replacement applications.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1504ASL-20AC44 datasheet, ATF1504ASL-20AC44 pinout, ATF1504ASL-20AC44 application, or ATF1504ASL-20AC44 equivalent, this device offers confirmed PCI compliance, programmable slew rate and open-collector outputs, three global clock inputs, and dual power-down modes (automatic µA standby and pin-controlled 1 mA mode) - all validated for the 44-lead TQFP package.
Technical Context
The ATF1504ASL-20AC44 implements a flexible macrocell architecture with five configurable sections per macrocell: product term generation, OR/XOR/CASCADE logic, D/T/latch flip-flop, output select/enable, and logic array inputs. Each macrocell supports buried feedback to the global bus and foldback to a regional bus, enabling high-fan-in sum-of-products (up to 40 terms) and efficient arithmetic/comparison functions via XOR gating.
Its routing architecture includes a 40-signal global bus fed by all I/Os and macrocell feedbacks, plus switch matrices per logic block. Global control signals - GCLK1–GCLK3, GCLR, OE1, OE2 - are individually assignable per macrocell, and Input Transition Detection (ITD) circuits are present on global clocks, inputs, and I/Os for edge-sensitive triggering.
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 (–20 speed grade); 125 MHz max registered operation - enables high-speed synchronous logic in industrial timing-critical paths. |
| Power Management | Automatic µA standby ('L' version) + pin-controlled 1 mA power-down - reduces idle current by >90% vs standard mode, critical for battery-backed or low-power systems. |
| I/O Voltage Support | 3.3 V or 5.0 V I/O pins - allows direct interfacing with mixed-voltage subsystems without level shifters. |
| JTAG Compliance | IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990 and 1149.1a-1993 boundary-scan - enables production testability and field firmware updates without physical rework. |
| PCI Compliance | Fully compliant with PCI electrical specifications - supports direct connection to PCI bus without external drivers or termination adjustments. |
| Data Retention | 20-year retention after 10,000 program/erase cycles - ensures long-term reliability in unattended or mission-critical deployments. |
Pinout & Package
ATF1504ASL-20AC44 is packaged in a 44-lead Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP) with 0.8 mm lead pitch and exposed thermal pad. The package is RoHS-compliant and rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43 | I/O/TDI/TMS/TDO/TCK/PD1/PD2/GCLKx/OE1/OE2/GCLR | Bi-directional logic I/O with JTAG ISP control, power-down triggers, global clock inputs, output enables, and global clear - all configurable per macrocell in design software. |
| 12, 23, 34, 44 | GND | Four dedicated ground pins - provide low-inductance return paths for noise-sensitive digital logic and JTAG signaling. |
| 10, 17, 26, 37 | VCC | Four VCC pins (VCCIO/VCCINT) - support independent 3.3 V or 5.0 V I/O and internal core voltage; decoupling required per pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Slew Rate | Per-output control (slow/fast) - reduces EMI and signal integrity issues on long traces or unterminated lines without sacrificing speed where needed. |
| Pin-keeper Circuits | Configurable on all inputs and I/Os - eliminates need for external pull-ups, prevents floating inputs, and cuts DC leakage and system noise. |
| Three Global Clock Inputs | GCLK1, GCLK2, GCLK3 - enable multi-clock domain designs (e.g., async FIFOs, clock domain crossing) with independent macrocell assignment. |
| Input Transition Detection (ITD) | On global clocks, inputs, and I/Os - allows edge-triggered logic without external Schmitt triggers or debouncing circuitry. |
| VCC Power-up Reset Option | Hysteresis-selectable (Small/Large) - ensures deterministic state machine initialization across varying supply ramp profiles. |
| Security Fuse + User Signature | One-time programmable fuse blocks readback; 16-bit user-accessible signature space - supports traceability and IP protection without disabling debug features. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPLD applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AMD XC9572XL-10VQ44C | 72 macrocells, 5 V only, no automatic µA standby, 10 ns pin-to-pin delay | Lacks PCI compliance and programmable slew rate; requires external pull-ups | Choose when higher macrocell count is needed and 5 V-only operation is acceptable. |
| Lattice ispMACH 4064V-10T44I | 64 macrocells, 3.3 V only, 10 ns delay, no ITD circuits or VCC power-up reset hysteresis option | Not suitable for mixed-voltage or industrial reset-critical designs; lacks PD1/PD2 power-down pins | Prefer for cost-sensitive 3.3 V-only systems where JTAG ISP and PCI compliance are non-essential. |
Compared with XC9572XL-10VQ44C and ispMACH 4064V-10T44I, the ATF1504ASL-20AC44 uniquely combines 3.3/5 V I/O flexibility, µA standby, PCI compliance, and ITD - making it the only option among the three qualified for industrial temperature, mixed-voltage, and field-upgradeable PCI endpoint designs.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the ATF1504ASL-20AC44?
The ATF1504ASL-20AC44 is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This is confirmed in the DC Operating Conditions table of the official datasheet (Rev. 0950N–PLD–07/02), where ICC1 "L" Mode standby current is specified at both extremes. The "L" suffix explicitly denotes the industrial-grade variant with enhanced thermal stability and extended data retention.
Does the ATF1504ASL-20AC44 support both 3.3 V and 5.0 V I/O operation?
Yes, the ATF1504ASL-20AC44 supports dual I/O voltage operation: VCCIO can be configured for either 3.0–3.6 V or 4.75–5.25 V, as verified in the DC Characteristics table. This allows direct interfacing with mixed-voltage subsystems - for example, connecting to 3.3 V FPGAs and 5 V microcontrollers simultaneously - without external level shifters.
How does the power-down mode function on the ATF1504ASL-20AC44?
The ATF1504ASL-20AC44 offers two power-down modes: automatic µA standby (enabled by default in 'L' version) and pin-controlled 1 mA mode using PD1 or PD2. When active, internal logic states and outputs are latched, and inputs (except PD pin) are blocked. AC characteristics during power-down - including tIVDH and tDLIV - are fully specified in the datasheet for design validation.
Is the ATF1504ASL-20AC44 PCI-compliant, and what does that mean for system design?
Yes, the ATF1504ASL-20AC44 is explicitly stated as PCI-compliant in the Features section and validated with PCI voltage-to-current curves. This means its I/O buffers meet PCI specification requirements for drive strength, timing (tSU/tH), and output skew - enabling direct connection to PCI bus segments without additional transceivers or layout compensation.
Can the JTAG pins on the ATF1504ASL-20AC44 be repurposed as general I/O?
Yes - JTAG functionality (TDI, TMS, TDO, TCK) is a programmable option. If JTAG boundary-scan or ISP is disabled in the design file, those four pins become standard bi-directional I/Os. The datasheet confirms this in the "JTAG-BST/ISP Overview" section and notes pull-up options on TMS/TDI are also design-selectable.
