Product details
Overview
ATF1504ASL-20JC44 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 supports registered operation up to 125 MHz, features three global clock inputs (GCLK1–GCLK3), and operates in industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) with 3.3V or 5.0V I/O compatibility. It is used in legacy PCI-compliant control logic, board-level glue logic replacement, and reconfigurable state-machine implementations.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1504ASL-20JC44 datasheet, ATF1504ASL-20JC44 pinout, ATF1504ASL-20JC44 application, or ATF1504ASL-20JC44 equivalent, key selection criteria include JTAG ISP capability, macrocell-level power reduction, programmable slew rate, security fuse protection, and support for both 3.3V and 5.0V I/O signaling in a 44-lead TQFP package.
Technical Context
The ATF1504ASL-20JC44 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 provides buried feedback to the global bus and foldback logic to a regional bus, enabling high-fan-in sum-of-products (up to 40 terms) and efficient arithmetic/comparison functions via XOR gating.
It integrates IEEE 1149.1–1990/1149.1a–1993 boundary-scan testing, PCI-compliant drive strength, and advanced power management including automatic µA standby ("L" version), pin-controlled 1 mA power-down mode, and per-macrocell reduced-power bit. The device uses electrically-erasable EEPROM technology with 10,000 program/erase cycles and 20-year data retention.
Key Specifications

ATF1504ASL-20JC44 is housed in a 44-lead Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP) with 0.8 mm lead pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, and RoHS-compliant finish. Package dimensions are 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.4 mm (max).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 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/GND/VCC | Bi-directional logic I/O (36 pins); JTAG interface (TDI, TMS, TDO, TCK); power (VCC ×2) and ground (GND ×3) |
| 44 | I/O/GCLK3 | Multi-function pin: general-purpose I/O or third global clock input - selectable per design configuration |
| 33, 34, 35 | GCLK1, GCLK2, OE1 | Dedicated global clock inputs (GCLK1, GCLK2) and output enable (OE1) - provide low-skew control signals across all macrocells |
| 36 | GCLR/I | Global clear input - asynchronous reset for all registers; may be combined with product term for conditional reset |
| 37 | PD1/I/O | Power-down control input - asserts low-power mode when high; disables logic but retains register state and outputs |
| 38 | PD2/I/O | Secondary power-down control input - redundant or alternate PD activation path; functionally identical to PD1 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| In-system programmability (ISP) | Full JTAG-based programming without device removal - enables field updates and manufacturing flexibility |

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, 10 ns speed grade, 3.3V-only I/O, no 5V tolerance; lower standby current (5 µA) | Lacks 5V I/O compatibility and PCI drive strength; requires level-shifting in mixed-voltage systems | Preferred for new 3.3V-only designs requiring lowest static power and smaller footprint (VQFP vs TQFP) |
| EPM3064ATC44-10N | 64 macrocells, 10 ns speed grade, 3.3V core/5V-tolerant I/O; higher max frequency (125 MHz same), no built-in security fuse | Requires external encryption for IP protection; lacks pin-keeper and programmable slew rate features | Suitable where JTAG-based security suffices and legacy 5V signal interfacing is required without EEPROM nonvolatility assurance |
Compared with XCR3064XL-10VQ44C and EPM3064ATC44-10N, ATF1504ASL-20JC44 uniquely combines 5V/3.3V I/O flexibility, EEPROM-based nonvolatile configuration, integrated security fuse, and industrial-grade µA standby - making it the only option for field-upgradable, mixed-voltage, long-lifecycle legacy replacements.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for ATF1504ASL-20JC44?
The ATF1504ASL-20JC44 is rated for industrial temperature operation from −40°C to +85°C. This specification is guaranteed across all DC and AC parameters, including 10 µA standby current and 125 MHz registered operation. The "L" suffix explicitly denotes the low-power industrial-grade variant, distinct from commercial-grade ATF1504AS versions.
Does ATF1504ASL-20JC44 support both 3.3V and 5.0V I/O signaling?
Yes, ATF1504ASL-20JC44 supports dual I/O voltage operation: 3.0–3.6 V or 4.75–5.25 V. VCCIO pins accept either supply, and I/O buffers are tolerant of the selected voltage. This allows direct interfacing with both 3.3V FPGAs and legacy 5V microcontrollers without level shifters - a key requirement confirmed in the DC Characteristics table on page 11 of the datasheet.
How many global clock inputs does ATF1504ASL-20JC44 have, and what are their pin assignments?
ATF1504ASL-20JC44 has three dedicated global clock inputs: GCLK1 (pin 35), GCLK2 (pin 33), and GCLK3 (pin 44). All three can drive any macrocell's clock input simultaneously, enabling multi-domain synchronous logic. GCLK3 shares its pin with I/O functionality, but when configured as a clock input, it is reserved exclusively for that purpose per the pin definition table on page 2.
What power management features are implemented in ATF1504ASL-20JC44?
ATF1504ASL-20JC44 implements four hardware power management features: (1) automatic µA standby mode ("L" version), (2) pin-controlled 1 mA power-down via PD1/PD2, (3) per-macrocell reduced-power bit, and (4) programmable slew rate to limit di/dt. These are documented in Sections 8 and 15 of the datasheet, with ICC1 = 10 µA (ind.) and ICC2 ≤ 10 mA in power-down mode.
Is ATF1504ASL-20JC44 compatible with IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan testing?
Yes, ATF1504ASL-20JC44 fully supports IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990 and 1149.1a-1993 boundary-scan testing via its four dedicated JTAG pins (TDI, TMS, TDO, TCK). Each I/O and input pin includes a boundary-scan cell (BSC), and the device ships with a BSDL file compliant with JTAG standards - enabling automated test, interconnect verification, and ISP programming.
