Product details
Overview
ATF1508AS-10JC84 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 3.3 V or 5.0 V I/O operation. It features three global clock inputs, JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1), in-system programmability, and PCI-compliant output drivers - used in legacy industrial control logic consolidation and FPGA companion glue logic.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1508AS-10JC84 datasheet, ATF1508AS-10JC84 pinout, ATF1508AS-10JC84 application, or ATF1508AS-10JC84 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 84-lead PLCC package, 125 MHz registered operation, dual VCCINT/VCCIO supply architecture, and power-down mode controlled via PD1/PD2 pins - all critical for retrofitting aging 5 V systems with low-risk logic upgrades.
Technical Context
The ATF1508AS-10JC84 implements a hierarchical CPLD architecture with eight logic blocks, each fed by a 40-signal global bus derived from 96 I/Os, four dedicated inputs, and buried macrocell feedback. Its macrocell supports D/T/latch flip-flops, XOR-based arithmetic, and combinatorial outputs with registered feedback - enabling efficient state machine and wide decoder implementation.
It integrates IEEE 1149.1 JTAG TAP controller for boundary-scan testing and ISP programming, plus PCI-compliant drive strength (±44 mA AC high, +206 mA AC low at 0.71 V) and configurable slew rate per output. Power management includes automatic 10 µA standby ("L" version), pin-controlled 1 mA power-down, and per-macrocell reduced-power bit.
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 replacement. |
| Propagation Delay | 7.5 ns max pin-to-pin - enables reliable operation in 125 MHz registered designs with setup/hold margin for 5 V TTL interfaces. |
| I/O Voltage Support | 3.3 V or 5.0 V - VCCIO pins independently configurable; VCCINT fixed at 5.0 V - allows mixed-voltage board interfacing without level shifters. |
| Global Clock Inputs | Three dedicated GCLK pins (GCLK1–GCLK3) - supports multi-domain synchronous design with independent clock domains per logic block. |
| JTAG Compliance | IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990 & 1149.1a-1993 - enables production test access and field firmware updates without device removal. |
| PCI Drive Strength | IOH(AC) = –44 mA @ VOUT ≤ 1.4 V; IOL(AC) = +206 mA @ VOUT = 0.71 V - meets PCI Local Bus Rev 2.2 DC/AC requirements for slot driving. |
| Power-down Mode | Pin-controlled (PD1/PD2); ICC < 10 mA - preserves register and output states during idle; input transitions blocked until PD pin deasserted. |
Pinout & Package
ATF1508AS-10JC84 is housed in an 84-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with J-lead geometry, 1.27 mm pitch, and body size 29.31 mm × 29.31 mm. The package is RoHS-compliant, Pb-free, and rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–10, 12–20, 22–32, 34–40, 42–53, 55–64, 66–75, 77–84 | I/O or dedicated input | Bi-directional logic pin; configurable as input, output, or bidirectional; supports pin-keeper, open-collector, and slew-rate control. |
| 11, 21, 41, 54, 65, 76 | GND | Ground reference for VCCIO and VCCINT supplies; six dedicated ground pins ensure stable noise margin and decoupling. |
| 33, 44, 56, 67, 78 | VCCIO | I/O power supply pins - must be tied to same 3.3 V or 5.0 V rail; determines output voltage swing and input threshold levels. |
| 45, 57 | VCCINT | Core logic power supply - must be connected to 5.0 V ±5%; powers input buffers and internal logic array regardless of VCCIO setting. |
| 68 | INPUT/GCLR | Global asynchronous clear - active-low reset signal routed to all macrocell flip-flops; overrides clock and enables synchronous initialization. |
| 69–71 | INPUT/OE1, INPUT/OE2, INPUT/GCLK1 | Dedicated control inputs - configurable as output enable (OE1/OE2) or global clock (GCLK1); each may be assigned per-macrocell. |
| 72 | I/O/GCLK3 | Bi-directional global clock pin - functions as input-only GCLK3 when configured as clock; otherwise available as general-purpose I/O. |
| 73–74 | I/O/TDI, I/O/TMS | JTAG test data input and test mode select - used for boundary-scan and ISP; pull-up option available for TDI/TMS. |
| 75 | I/O/TDO | JTAG test data output - serial output for scan chain; high-impedance when not in BST mode. |
| 79–80 | I/O/TCK, I/O/PD1 | JTAG test clock and power-down control - TCK drives TAP state machine; PD1 asserts hardware power-down when high. |
| 81–82 | I/O/PD2, I/O | Second power-down control and general I/O - PD2 provides redundant power-down trigger; both PD pins disable logic but retain latch states. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable pin-keeper | Prevents floating inputs/I/Os by latching last driven state - eliminates need for external pull-ups and reduces system noise and DC leakage. |
| Per-output slew rate control | Configurable fast/slow edge rates - slows non-critical outputs to suppress EMI while preserving timing on high-speed paths like clocks or strobes. |
| Buried registered feedback | Enables combinatorial output macrocells to feed registered signals back into logic array - supports dual-latch structures within single macrocell. |
| Input transition detection (ITD) | Detects edges on global clocks, inputs, and I/Os - used for asynchronous event capture without consuming macrocell resources. |
| User Signature register | 16-bit accessible memory (2 bytes) - stores project ID, revision, or date; readable even when security fuse is programmed. |
| Security fuse protection | One-time programmable fuse disables readback of configuration bits - prevents unauthorized cloning while allowing functional verification. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the ATF1508AS-10JC84 in registered mode?
The ATF1508AS-10JC84 supports registered operation up to 125 MHz, verified under industrial conditions (–40°C to +85°C) with 5.0 V VCCINT and VCCIO. This frequency is achievable with proper PCB layout, decoupling, and timing closure using Microchip's ispLEVER Classic design tools. The 7.5 ns pin-to-pin delay specification directly enables this performance ceiling in synchronous logic paths.
Does the ATF1508AS-10JC84 support both 3.3 V and 5.0 V I/O simultaneously?
No - the ATF1508AS-10JC84 supports either 3.3 V or 5.0 V I/O operation, but not both simultaneously. VCCIO pins must be tied to a single rail (2.7–3.6 V for 3.3 V mode; 4.75–5.25 V for 5.0 V mode), while VCCINT is always 5.0 V. Input thresholds and output drive strength scale accordingly; mixing rails on VCCIO will cause undefined behavior and potential damage.
How does the power-down mode function on the ATF1508AS-10JC84?
The ATF1508AS-10JC84 enters power-down mode when either PD1 or PD2 pin is driven high, reducing supply current to <10 mA. During power-down, all internal registers and output states are latched and held; inputs (except PD pins) are ignored; and pin-keeper circuits maintain I/O states. The device resumes normal operation within 1 µs after PD pin returns low.
Is JTAG boundary-scan supported on the ATF1508AS-10JC84?
Yes - the ATF1508AS-10JC84 fully supports IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990 and 1149.1a-1993 boundary-scan testing via its dedicated TDI, TDO, TMS, and TCK pins. BSDL models are available from Microchip's website, and all 96 I/O pins plus four dedicated inputs include boundary-scan cells for comprehensive interconnect testing.
Can the ATF1508AS-10JC84 be used as a direct replacement for older ATF1502AS or ATF1504AS devices?
Yes - the ATF1508AS-10JC84 is pin-compatible with ATF1502AS-10JC44 and ATF1504AS-10JC44 in the same PLCC package footprint, sharing identical JTAG, power, and control pin assignments. Its enhanced routing and 128-macrocell capacity allow backward-compatible upgrades without PCB modification, provided timing constraints are re-verified.
