Product details
Overview
ATF1508AS-10QU100 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a high-density, 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 a single 100-lead TQFP package with 3.3 V or 5.0 V I/O compatibility, used in PCI-compliant interface bridging and industrial control state-machine implementation.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1508AS-10QU100 datasheet, ATF1508AS-10QU100 pinout, ATF1508AS-10QU100 application, or ATF1508AS-10QU100 equivalent, key selection criteria include JTAG ISP capability, dual VCCINT/VCCIO power domains, programmable slew rate and open-collector outputs, PCI-compliant drive strength, and power-down mode via PD1/PD2 pins.
Technical Context
The ATF1508AS-10QU100 implements a hierarchical routing architecture with global and regional buses: all 128 macrocell outputs and all I/O pins feed a shared global bus, while each macrocell generates a foldback term routed to a 16-macrocell regional bus. Its switch matrix selects up to 40 signals from the global bus per logic block, enabling high-fan-in sum-of-products synthesis.
Each macrocell supports D/T/latch flip-flops with individually selectable clock sources (global GCLK1–GCLK3 or product-term-derived), asynchronous reset/preset (GCLEAR or product term), and combinatorial output with registered feedback - all configurable per macrocell without resource penalty. Input Transition Detection (ITD) circuits are present on global clocks, inputs, and I/Os for edge-sensitive wake-up and glitch filtering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Density | 128 macrocells - provides gate count equivalent to ~2,000 usable PLD gates with full routing flexibility. |
| Pin-to-pin Delay | 7.5 ns - enables synchronous logic operation up to 125 MHz in registered mode. |
| I/O Voltage Support | 3.3 V or 5.0 V - dual VCCIO domain allows mixed-voltage board interfacing without level shifters. |

Pinout & Package
ATF1508AS-10QU100 is packaged in a 100-lead Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP), RoHS-compliant, with 0.5 mm pitch and 14 mm × 14 mm body. Pin 1 is marked by corner notch; top-side marking includes "ATF1508AS-10QU100" and date code.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–25, 26–50, 51–75, 76–100 | Bi-directional I/O or dedicated input | Up to 96 user-configurable I/Os; four dedicated pins (GCLR, OE1, OE2/GCLK2, GCLK1) double as global control signals. |
| 26, 53 | PD1 / PD2 | Active-high power-down control inputs - assert either to reduce ICC to <10 mA; disables logic transitions but holds register and output states. |
| 3, 14, 27, 40 | TDI, TMS, TCK, TDO | JTAG test access port - enables boundary-scan testing and ISP programming; TMS/TDI have optional internal pull-ups. |
| 13, 30, 47, 64, 81, 98 | VCCIO | I/O power supply pins - must be tied to same 3.3 V or 5.0 V rail; decoupling required per pin. |
| 51, 76 | VCCINT | Core logic power supply - fixed 5.0 V only; powers input buffers and macrocell logic regardless of I/O voltage. |
| 25, 50, 75, 100 | GND | Ground reference pins - four dedicated ground connections improve noise immunity and AC performance. |
| 65 | GCLK3 | Third global clock input - provides additional timing domain for multi-clock designs; supports ITD circuitry. |
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. |
| Flexible macrocell configuration | Each macrocell supports D/T/latch flip-flops, XOR-based arithmetic, buried registered feedback, and combinatorial output with foldback - maximizes logic utilization per cell. |
| Three global clock inputs | GCLK1, GCLK2/OE2, GCLK3 enable independent clock domains for state machines, counters, and synchronous peripherals. |
| Input Transition Detection (ITD) | Dedicated edge-detection circuits on global clocks, inputs, and I/Os - enables low-power wake-up and glitch-resistant interrupt generation. |
| PCI-compliant I/O drivers | Guaranteed VOH ≥ 2.4 V @ –2 mA and VOL ≤ 0.55 V @ 3–6 mA - meets PCI Local Bus Rev. 2.2 electrical requirements 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCR3256XL-10TQ144 | 256 macrocells, 5 V-only I/O, no VCCIO/VCCINT separation; 10 ns tPD; Xilinx CoolRunner-II architecture. | Larger density but lacks 3.3 V I/O support and PCI compliance; requires external level translation for mixed-voltage systems. | Select when higher logic capacity is needed and 5 V-only operation is acceptable; avoid if PCI bus interface or dual-voltage I/O is required. |
| LC4256ZE-7TN144C | 256 macrocells, 3.3 V core/I/O, no 5 V tolerance; 7.5 ns tPD; Lattice ispMACH 4000Z architecture with instant-on capability. | No 5 V I/O support or PCI drive strength; lower static current (10 µA) but lacks PD1/PD2 power-down pins. | Select for ultra-low-power battery-operated systems where 5 V compatibility is unnecessary; avoid for PCI or legacy 5 V interface applications. |
Compared with XCR3256XL-10TQ144 and LC4256ZE-7TN144C, the ATF1508AS-10QU100 uniquely combines 3.3/5 V I/O flexibility, native PCI compliance, and dual-mode power management (standby + pin-controlled power-down), making it optimal for industrial and communications equipment requiring mixed-voltage interoperability and field-upgradeable logic.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the ATF1508AS-10QU100 in registered mode?
The ATF1508AS-10QU100 supports registered operation up to 125 MHz, verified by its 7.5 ns maximum pin-to-pin delay specification. This timing applies under standard commercial conditions (VCC = 5.0 V ±5%, TA = 0°C to 70°C) with all macrocells configured for registered output and global clock distribution. The ATF1508AS-10QU100 achieves this performance using optimized routing resources and low-skew global clock networks.
Does the ATF1508AS-10QU100 support both 3.3 V and 5.0 V I/O simultaneously?
Yes, the ATF1508AS-10QU100 supports mixed-voltage I/O through separate VCCIO and VCCINT power domains: VCCINT must be 5.0 V for core logic, while VCCIO pins can be independently tied to either 3.3 V or 5.0 V rails. This allows the ATF1508AS-10QU100 to interface directly with both 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V peripherals without external level shifters - a key advantage over single-rail CPLDs.
How does the power-down mode function on the ATF1508AS-10QU100?
The ATF1508AS-10QU100 features pin-controlled power-down using PD1 (pin 26) or PD2 (pin 53): asserting either pin high reduces ICC to <10 mA while latching all register and output states. During power-down, inputs are blocked except the active PD pin, and pin-keeper circuits maintain I/O levels. The ATF1508AS-10QU100 resumes full operation within 1 µs after PD goes low, with no loss of configuration.
Is the ATF1508AS-10QU100 compatible with PCI Local Bus Rev. 2.2 specifications?
Yes, the ATF1508AS-10QU100 is explicitly PCI-compliant per Rev. 2.2, meeting all required DC and AC drive characteristics: VOH ≥ 2.4 V at –2 mA, VOL ≤ 0.55 V at 3–6 mA, and specified switching current profiles (IOH/IOH(AC), IOL/IOL(AC)). Its output drivers are sized to meet PCI bus loading without external buffers - confirmed in the official datasheet's PCI DC/AC Characteristics table.
Can the ATF1508AS-10QU100 be programmed in-system after soldering to the PCB?
Yes, the ATF1508AS-10QU100 supports full in-system programming (ISP) via its IEEE 1149.1-compliant 4-pin JTAG interface (TDI, TMS, TCK, TDO). Programming uses 5 V TTL-level signals and does not require device removal. The ATF1508AS-10QU100 remains programmable even when JTAG pins are otherwise used as I/O - the JTAG function is enabled by default unless disabled in the design file.
