Product details
Overview
ATF1508AS-10AU100 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a high-performance, electrically-erasable Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) with 128 macrocells, 5 product terms per macrocell expandable to 40, 7.5 ns pin-to-pin delay, and support for 125 MHz registered operation. It integrates legacy TTL/SSI/MSI logic and classic PLD functions in industrial control, PCI interface bridging, and reconfigurable I/O subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1508AS-10AU100 datasheet, ATF1508AS-10AU100 pinout, ATF1508AS-10AU100 application, or ATF1508AS-10AU100 equivalent, key selection criteria include JTAG ISP capability, dual-voltage I/O (3.3V/5.0V), programmable slew rate, pin-keeper inputs, and PCI-compliant drive strength - all validated for 100-lead TQFP packaging.
Technical Context
The ATF1508AS-10AU100 implements a hierarchical CPLD architecture with 128 flexible macrocells, each containing five product-term logic blocks feeding OR/XOR/cascade logic, D/T/latch-configurable flip-flops, and programmable output enable/slew/open-collector options. Its global bus carries up to 100 signals (inputs, I/Os, buried feedback), with switch matrices selecting up to 40 signals per logic block.
It supports IEEE 1149.1–1990/1149.1a–1993 boundary-scan testing and Fast In-System Programming via dedicated TDI/TDO/TMS/TCK pins. Power management includes automatic 10 µA standby (L-version), pin-controlled power-down (<10 mA), individual macrocell reduced-power mode, and VCCIO/VCCINT separation enabling mixed-voltage I/O operation.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flexible Macrocell Architecture | Each of 128 macrocells supports D/T/latch flip-flops, XOR-based arithmetic, buried registered feedback, and combinatorial outputs - enabling efficient state machine and glue logic implementation |
| PCI-Compliant Output Drivers | Meets PCI DC/AC specs: VOH ≥ 2.4 V @ –2 mA, VOL ≤ 0.55 V @ 3–6 mA, ±44 mA AC sink/source - suitable for add-in card logic interfacing |
| Programmable Pin-keeper | Prevents floating inputs/I/Os by latching last driven state - eliminates need for external pull-ups and reduces system noise and static power |
| Three Global Clock Inputs | GCLK1–GCLK3 allow independent clock domains per logic region - critical for multi-clock domain designs like protocol bridges and FIFO controllers |
| Input Transition Detection (ITD) | Detects edges on global clocks, inputs, and I/Os - enables low-latency interrupt generation and asynchronous event capture without external circuitry |
| Security Fuse + User Signature | Fuse prevents unauthorized readback; two bytes (16-bit) of user-accessible signature store project ID, revision, or date - supports traceability and version control |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPLD applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCR3256XL-10TQ144I | 256 macrocells, 10 ns delay, 3.3 V only, no VCCINT/VCCIO separation | Better density and lower power, but lacks 5 V tolerance and PCI drive strength | Choose for new 3.3 V-only designs requiring higher logic capacity and lower ICC |
| EPM7128SLC84-10 | 128 macrocells, 10 ns delay, 5 V only, non-JTAG ISP (requires UV erasure or parallel programmer) | Legacy pinout compatibility with older Altera designs, no in-system reprogramming | Choose only for drop-in replacement in existing EPM7128S-based boards with no ISP requirement |
Compared with XCR3256XL-10TQ144I and EPM7128SLC84-10, the ATF1508AS-10AU100 uniquely balances 5 V/3.3 V I/O flexibility, PCI compliance, and full JTAG ISP - making it optimal for industrial upgrades and mixed-voltage interface bridging where field reconfiguration and legacy voltage support are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the ATF1508AS-10AU100?
The ATF1508AS-10AU100 is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is validated across all DC and AC parameters in the official datasheet (Rev. 0784P–PLD–7/05), ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments such as factory-floor controllers and outdoor telecom cabinets where the ATF1508AS-10AU100 is commonly deployed.
Does the ATF1508AS-10AU100 support both 3.3 V and 5.0 V I/O simultaneously?
Yes - the ATF1508AS-10AU100 uses separate VCCIO and VCCINT supplies: VCCINT must be 5.0 V (for core logic), while VCCIO can be independently set to either 3.3 V or 5.0 V. This allows the ATF1508AS-10AU100 to interface with mixed-voltage systems, such as a 5 V microcontroller communicating with 3.3 V sensors, without level shifters.
How does the pin-keeper feature function on the ATF1508AS-10AU100?
The ATF1508AS-10AU100's programmable pin-keeper latches the last driven logic state (high or low) on configured inputs and I/Os when they float, preventing indeterminate voltages that cause shoot-through current and noise. This eliminates external pull-up resistors and their associated DC power loss - a verified design value confirmed in the "Programmable Pin-keeper Option" section of the ATF1508AS-10AU100 datasheet.
Is the ATF1508AS-10AU100 compatible with PCI bus specifications?
Yes - the ATF1508AS-10AU100 meets PCI 2.2 DC and AC electrical requirements, including VOH ≥ 2.4 V at –2 mA, VOL ≤ 0.55 V at 3–6 mA, and ±44 mA AC sink/source capability. These values are explicitly listed in the "PCI DC Characteristics" and "PCI AC Characteristics" tables of the ATF1508AS-10AU100 datasheet (pages 12–13), confirming suitability for PCI add-in card logic.
Can the ATF1508AS-10AU100 be programmed in-system after soldering to the PCB?
Yes - the ATF1508AS-10AU100 supports Fast In-System Programming (ISP) via its dedicated 4-pin JTAG interface (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO), compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1. This allows full configuration, reprogramming, and boundary-scan testing without removing the ATF1508AS-10AU100 from the board - a core capability documented in the "ISP Programming" and "JTAG-BST Overview" sections of its datasheet.
