Product details
Overview
ATF1508AS-10AI100 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a high-density, electrically-erasable Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) with 128 macrocells, 7.5 ns pin-to-pin delay, and support for 125 MHz registered operation. It features three global clock inputs, JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1), in-system programmability, and PCI-compliant I/O drivers - deployed in industrial control logic, legacy bus interface adaptation, and FPGA companion glue logic.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1508AS-10AI100 datasheet, ATF1508AS-10AI100 pinout, ATF1508AS-10AI100 application, or ATF1508AS-10AI100 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100-lead TQFP package, 5 V core/3.3 V or 5 V I/O flexibility, dual power-down pins (PD1/PD2), programmable slew rate per output, and security fuse protection against unauthorized configuration readback.
Technical Context
The ATF1508AS-10AI100 implements a hierarchical CPLD architecture with eight logic blocks, each fed by a 40-signal global bus carrying all I/O, dedicated input, and buried macrocell feedback signals. Its macrocell structure supports D/T/latch flip-flops, XOR-based arithmetic/comparison, and combinatorial outputs with registered feedback - enabling efficient state machine and wide-sum-term logic synthesis.
It integrates IEEE 1149.1 JTAG BST with full boundary-scan cell coverage on all I/O and input pins, plus ISP programming via TDI/TDO/TCK/TMS. Power management includes automatic 10 µA standby (L-version), pin-controlled 1 mA power-down mode, per-macrocell reduced-power bit, and programmable pin-keeper circuits to eliminate floating inputs without external pull-ups.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Density | 128 macrocells - provides gate count equivalent to ~2,000 usable PLD gates for medium-complexity glue logic integration. |
| Pin-to-pin Delay | 7.5 ns - enables reliable timing closure in 100 MHz–125 MHz synchronous designs with minimal routing margin. |
| Max Registered Frequency | 125 MHz - supports high-speed control path timing in industrial PLCs and data acquisition interfaces. |
| I/O Voltage Support | 3.3 V or 5.0 V - allows direct interfacing with both legacy 5 V TTL and modern 3.3 V systems without level shifters. |
| Power-down Current | <10 mA - achieved via PD1/PD2 assertion; retains all register and output states during low-power hold. |
| JTAG Compliance | IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990 & 1149.1a-1993 - enables production testability and field firmware updates without device removal. |
| Security Protection | One-time programmable security fuse - prevents readback of configuration bitstream while preserving User Signature access. |
Pinout & Package
ATF1508AS-10AI100 is packaged in a 100-lead Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP), RoHS-compliant, with 0.5 mm pitch and exposed thermal pad. Pin assignment matches the 100-lead TQFP top-view layout shown in Atmel doc 0784P–PLD–7/05.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–25, 75–100 | I/O or dedicated input | Bi-directional pins configurable as inputs, outputs, or bidirectional; each supports programmable slew rate and open-collector option. |
| 26, 27, 28, 29 | GCLK1–GCLK3, GCLR | Global clock inputs and global clear - routed to all macrocells; GCLR supports asynchronous reset with product-term enable. |
| 30, 31, 32, 33 | TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO | JTAG test access port - enables boundary-scan testing and in-system programming; TMS/TDI have optional internal pull-up. |
| 34, 35 | PD1, PD2 | Power-down control - asserted high to enter sub-10 mA standby; disables logic transitions but holds register/output states. |
| 36, 37, 38, 39 | VCCIO ×4 | I/O power supply pins - must be tied to same 3.3 V or 5.0 V rail; decoupling required per datasheet layout guidelines. |
| 40, 41, 42, 43 | VCCINT ×2, GND ×2 | Core logic supply (5.0 V only) and ground - VCCINT powers input buffers compatible with 3.3 V/5.0 V inputs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable pin-keeper | Prevents floating I/Os without external resistors - reduces system noise and static power by holding last-driven logic state. |
| Per-output slew rate control | Slows edge rates on non-critical outputs to suppress EMI and crosstalk in mixed-signal PCB layouts. |
| Three global clock inputs | Enables multi-domain clocking - e.g., one for control logic, one for data capture, one for status reporting - without internal routing congestion. |
| Buried registered feedback | Allows combinatorial macrocell outputs to feed back registered values - essential for implementing pipelined logic or dual-edge-triggered functions. |
| PCI-compliant I/O drivers | Meets PCI v2.2 DC/AC specs (e.g., VOL ≤ 0.55 V @ 3 mA, IOH ≥ –44 mA) - suitable for add-in card interface logic without external buffers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPLD applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATF1508AS-10AU100 | Same die, 100-lead PQFP package - identical logic resources and timing, but different thermal/mechanical profile. | Preferred where board reflow compatibility with PQFP carriers or legacy tooling exists. | Select when footprint constraints favor PQFP over TQFP; no functional change required. |
| XCR3128XL-10VQ100C | Xilinx CoolRunner-II CPLD: 128 macrocells, 9.5 ns tPD, 3.3 V only I/O, no VCCINT/VCCIO separation. | Lacks 5 V tolerance and PCI drive capability; requires level-shifting for legacy 5 V buses. | Choose for new 3.3 V-only designs prioritizing lower static current (10 µA typical) and longer data retention (>20 years). |
Compared with ATF1508AS-10AI100, the ATF1508AS-10AU100 offers identical functionality in PQFP packaging for alternate assembly processes, while the XCR3128XL-10VQ100C trades 5 V compatibility and PCI compliance for lower power and simplified supply architecture - making it suitable only for green-field 3.3 V systems.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for ATF1508AS-10AI100?
The ATF1508AS-10AI100 is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and DC Operating Conditions section of the official datasheet (Rev. 0784P–PLD–7/05). The "I" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes industrial grade, distinguishing it from commercial-grade variants rated 0°C to +70°C.
Does ATF1508AS-10AI100 support both 3.3 V and 5.0 V I/O signaling?
Yes, ATF1508AS-10AI100 supports dual-voltage I/O: VCCIO pins may be connected to either 3.3 V (2.7–3.6 V) or 5.0 V (4.75–5.25 V) supplies, while VCCINT must remain at 5.0 V. This allows direct interfacing with mixed-voltage systems - for example, connecting to 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V legacy peripherals simultaneously - without external level translators.
How does the power-down feature work on ATF1508AS-10AI100?
The ATF1508AS-10AI100 implements pin-controlled power-down using PD1 and/or PD2 inputs. When either pin is driven high, the device enters a sub-10 mA standby mode while latching all register and output states. Internal logic transitions are blocked, but pin-keeper circuits remain active to prevent floating I/Os. The feature is enabled during design compilation and cannot be toggled dynamically in runtime.
Is ATF1508AS-10AI100 compatible with PCI bus specifications?
Yes, ATF1508AS-10AI100 is explicitly PCI-compliant per PCI Local Bus Specification v2.2. Its I/O drivers meet required DC parameters (e.g., VOL ≤ 0.55 V at 3 mA, VOH ≥ 2.4 V at –4 mA) and AC switching characteristics (IOH(AC) ≥ –44 mA, IOL(AC) ≥ 95 mA), enabling direct use in PCI add-in card control logic without external buffers.
Can ATF1508AS-10AI100 be programmed in-system after soldering to the PCB?
Yes, ATF1508AS-10AI100 supports full in-system programming (ISP) via its 4-pin JTAG interface (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO), compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1. Programming can be performed without removing the device from the board, using standard SVF files and Microchip's ISP software or third-party ATE tools - enabling field updates and manufacturing flexibility.
