Product details
Overview
ATF1508AS-7QC100 from 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 features three global clock inputs, JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1), 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-7QC100 datasheet, ATF1508AS-7QC100 pinout, ATF1508AS-7QC100 application, or ATF1508AS-7QC100 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 100-lead TQFP package, dual VCCINT/VCCIO supply architecture (5V core / 3.3V or 5V I/O), programmable slew rate, pin-keeper option, and JTAG-based in-system programmability without device removal.
Technical Context
The ATF1508AS-7QC100 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 supports D/T/latch flip-flops, XOR-based arithmetic, and combinatorial outputs with registered feedback - enabling efficient sum-of-products logic up to 40 terms via cascade chains.
It integrates IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan testing using dedicated TDI/TDO/TCK/TMS pins, supports PCI-compliant drive strength (±44 mA high/95 mA low), and provides two power-down control pins (PD1/PD2) that reduce ICC to <10 mA while latching internal states and preserving output validity.

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 | Higher density but lacks 5 V tolerance and PCI drive strength | Select when migrating to 3.3 V-only systems requiring more logic resources and lower static power |
| EPM7256SQC208-10 | 256 macrocells, 10 ns delay, 5 V only, non-JTAG ISP (requires UV erasure) | Higher pin count (208), no in-system programmability via JTAG | Select only for legacy 5 V-only designs where field reprogramming is not required |
Compared with XCR3256XL-10TQ144I and EPM7256SQC208-10, the ATF1508AS-7QC100 uniquely supports mixed-voltage I/O, PCI-compliant drive, and JTAG-based field updates - making it optimal for industrial retrofits and mixed-signal control boards where voltage flexibility and serviceability are critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the ATF1508AS-7QC100?
The ATF1508AS-7QC100 is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is validated under both 5.0 V and 3.3 V I/O configurations and applies to all specified AC/DC parameters, including JTAG boundary-scan and PCI-compliant drive characteristics. The device uses Atmel's advanced EE technology to maintain reliability across thermal cycling.
Does the ATF1508AS-7QC100 support in-system programming (ISP)?
Yes, the ATF1508AS-7QC100 supports full in-system programming via its 4-pin JTAG interface (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO), compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1. Programming is performed using 5 V TTL-level signals, and SVF files generated by Atmel ISP software are compatible with standard ATE equipment. The ATF1508AS-7QC100 ships erased and ready for immediate ISP deployment.
How does the dual-supply architecture (VCCINT/VCCIO) function in the ATF1508AS-7QC100?
The ATF1508AS-7QC100 separates core logic power (VCCINT = 5.0 V ±5%) from I/O drive power (VCCIO = 2.7–3.6 V or 4.75–5.25 V). This allows interfacing with both 3.3 V and 5.0 V peripherals without external level shifters. Input buffers remain compatible with either voltage, while output drive strength and logic thresholds scale with VCCIO - verified in PCI DC/AC specs.
Can the ATF1508AS-7QC100 be used in PCI-compliant designs?
Yes, the ATF1508AS-7QC100 meets PCI specification requirements for 5 V signaling, including VOH ≥ 2.4 V at –2 mA, VOL ≤ 0.55 V at 3 mA, and AC drive currents up to –44 mA (high) and 95 mA (low). Its I/O structure supports PCI pull-up/pull-down voltage-to-current curves and has been characterized per PCI DC/AC test conditions in the official datasheet.
What is the purpose of the PD1 and PD2 pins on the ATF1508AS-7QC100?
The PD1 and PD2 pins on the ATF1508AS-7QC100 provide optional pin-controlled power-down mode. When asserted high (with feature enabled in design file), they reduce ICC to <10 mA while latching all internal logic states and maintaining valid registered/combinatorial outputs. During power-down, input transitions are ignored except on PD1/PD2, and pin-keeper circuits prevent floating I/Os - critical for low-power standby in industrial systems.
