Product details
Overview
ATF1508ASL-25AI100 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 IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan, and in-system programmability via TDI/TDO/TCK/TMS pins. Used in legacy industrial control logic consolidation and PCI-compliant interface bridging.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1508ASL-25AI100 datasheet, ATF1508ASL-25AI100 pinout, ATF1508ASL-25AI100 application, or ATF1508ASL-25AI100 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100-lead TQFP package, 5 V VCCINT / 3.3–5.0 V VCCIO dual-supply architecture, automatic 10 µA standby power mode, and PCI-compliant I/O drive capability.
Technical Context
The ATF1508ASL-25AI100 implements a flexible macrocell architecture with five product terms per macrocell (expandable to 40 via cascade), programmable D/T/latch flip-flops, and individual output enable/product term control. Its global bus delivers up to 40 signals per logic block, while foldback logic enables regional sum-term generation across 16 macrocells.
It supports three global clock pins (GCLK1–GCLK3), input transition detection (ITD) on clocks/inputs/I/Os, and programmable pin-keeper circuits to prevent floating inputs. Power management includes edge-controlled "L"-mode standby (10 µA), pin-controlled power-down (<10 mA), and per-macrocell reduced-power bit configuration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Density | 128 macrocells - provides gate count equivalent to ~2000 usable PLD gates for logic consolidation tasks |
| Propagation Delay | 7.5 ns max pin-to-pin - enables synchronous design at ≤125 MHz registered frequency |
| Supply Voltages | VCCINT = 5.0 V (fixed); VCCIO = 3.3 V or 5.0 V - allows mixed-voltage board interfacing without level shifters |
| Standby Current | 10 µA (automatic "L" mode) - eliminates need for external power gating in battery-backed systems |
| I/O Count | 96 bi-directional I/O + 4 dedicated inputs - supports wide parallel bus interfaces (e.g., PCI, ISA, custom control buses) |
| JTAG Compliance | IEEE 1149.1-1990/1149.1a-1993 - enables production boundary-scan test and field firmware updates without device removal |
| PCI Compatibility | Meets PCI DC/AC drive specs (VOH ≥2.4 V @ –2 mA; VOL ≤0.55 V @ 3–6 mA) - directly connects to 5 V PCI slots without buffer ICs |
Pinout & Package
ATF1508ASL-25AI100 is packaged in a 100-lead Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP) with 0.5 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, green (Pb/Halide-free) construction. Thermal pad exposed on underside for enhanced heat dissipation in industrial environments.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–25, 26–50, 51–75, 76–100 | Bi-directional I/O or dedicated input | Configurable as input, output, or bidirectional; each supports programmable slew rate, open-collector option, and pin-keeper |
| GCLK1, GCLK2, GCLK3 | Global clock input | Dedicated low-skew clock routing to all macrocells; supports ITD for glitch detection |
| GCLR | Global clear input | Asynchronous reset for all flip-flops; may be OR'd with product-term signal for conditional reset |
| OE1, OE2 | Output enable inputs | Control output drivers globally; polarity selectable per macrocell via fitter software |
| PD1, PD2 | Power-down control | Active-high pins enabling <10 mA standby; disable internal logic but retain register/output states |
| TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO | JTAG boundary-scan interface | 4-pin IEEE 1149.1 port for programming, debug, and production test; pull-up optional on TMS/TDI |
| VCCINT | Core logic supply | Must be connected to 5.0 V ±5%; powers input buffers and macrocell logic; tolerant of 3.3 V or 5.0 V inputs |
| VCCIO | I/O driver supply | Configurable for 3.3 V (2.7–3.6 V) or 5.0 V (4.75–5.25 V); sets output voltage swing and drive strength |
| GND | Ground reference | Multiple ground pins distributed across package corners and sides to minimize noise coupling and IR drop |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable macrocell flip-flop mode | Supports D, T, JK, SR, latch, and buried-register-in-combinatorial-output configurations - enables single-macrocell state machines and efficient arithmetic logic |
| Enhanced routing resources | 40-signal global bus + 16-signal foldback bus per region - increases successful place-and-route yield for pin-locked revisions |
| PCI-compliant I/O | Guaranteed VOH ≥2.4 V @ –2 mA and VOL ≤0.55 V @ 6 mA under 5 V operation - eliminates external bus transceivers in PCI add-in cards |
| Security fuse & User Signature | One-time-programmable security fuse blocks readback; two-byte (16-bit) user-accessible signature space stores revision/date/project ID regardless of fuse state |
| Power-up reset with hysteresis options | Configurable small/large VRST hysteresis ensures reliable state machine initialization; large hysteresis reduces ICC by several hundred µA |
| Fast In-System Programming (ISP) | Full JTAG ISP using SVF files - enables firmware updates in deployed equipment without rework or socketing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPLD applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATF1508AS-25AI100 | Same logic architecture and pinout, but lacks automatic 10 µA standby ("L" version); typical ICC1 = 160–180 mA | Suitable where power budget allows higher static current; no change to PCB or firmware | Select when lowest quiescent power is not required and cost sensitivity favors standard grade |
| XC95144XL-10TQ100I | Xilinx CoolRunner-II architecture; 144 macrocells; 5 V tolerant I/O; 10 ns tPD; 100% pin-compatible TQFP-100 footprint | Better suited for new designs requiring longer lifecycle support; requires Xilinx toolchain and different JEDEC file format | Choose for long-term availability and lower power (10 µA standby) if redesign effort is acceptable |
Compared with ATF1508AS-25AI100, the ATF1508ASL-25AI100 delivers 16× lower standby current without sacrificing speed or I/O count; versus XC95144XL-10TQ100I, it retains legacy Atmel toolchain compatibility and identical JEDEC fuse mapping but has shorter projected obsolescence horizon.

FAQ
What is the difference between ATF1508ASL-25AI100 and ATF1508AS-25AI100?
The ATF1508ASL-25AI100 includes an automatic 10 µA standby power mode activated when no logic transitions occur, whereas the ATF1508AS-25AI100 defaults to standard standby current (~160–180 mA). Both share identical logic density, pinout, timing (7.5 ns), and feature set. The "L" suffix denotes the low-power variant optimized for energy-constrained industrial applications.
Does ATF1508ASL-25AI100 support 3.3 V only I/O operation?
Yes, ATF1508ASL-25AI100 supports 3.3 V I/O operation when VCCIO is supplied at 2.7–3.6 V, while maintaining 5.0 V on VCCINT. Input buffers remain compatible with both 3.3 V and 5.0 V logic levels. This dual-voltage capability allows seamless integration into mixed-signal systems without external level translators.
Can ATF1508ASL-25AI100 be programmed in-system after soldering to a PCB?
Yes, ATF1508ASL-25AI100 supports full JTAG-based In-System Programming (ISP) via its TDI/TDO/TCK/TMS pins. No socket or UV eraser is required. Programming can be performed using Microchip's official tools or third-party SVF-compatible programmers, enabling field firmware updates and design iterations without board rework.
Is ATF1508ASL-25AI100 compliant with PCI electrical specifications?
Yes, ATF1508ASL-25AI100 meets PCI Local Bus Specification Rev. 2.2 DC and AC requirements, including VOH ≥2.4 V at –2 mA and VOL ≤0.55 V at 6 mA under 5 V operation. Its output drivers are sized to meet PCI sink/source current demands, allowing direct connection to PCI slots without additional bus interface ICs.
What package type does ATF1508ASL-25AI100 use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
ATF1508ASL-25AI100 uses a 100-lead Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP) with 0.5 mm lead pitch. It is RoHS-compliant, green (Pb/Halide-free), and rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
