Product details
Overview
ATF1508ASL-25AU100 from Microchip (formerly Atmel) is a high-density, electrically-erasable Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) with 128 macrocells, 5 product terms per macrocell (expandable to 40), and 7.5 ns pin-to-pin delay. It operates up to 125 MHz in registered mode, supports 3.3 V or 5.0 V I/O, and features JTAG ISP and IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan for in-system programming and test in industrial control logic consolidation.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1508ASL-25AU100 datasheet, ATF1508ASL-25AU100 pinout, ATF1508ASL-25AU100 application, or ATF1508ASL-25AU100 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100-lead TQFP package, automatic 10 µA standby power, PCI-compliant I/O drive strength, programmable slew rate, and dual power domains (VCCINT = 5 V, VCCIO = 3.3/5.0 V).
Technical Context
The ATF1508ASL-25AU100 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.
Each macrocell supports configurable D/T/latch flip-flops with rising-edge clocking, asynchronous reset/preset (from GCLEAR or product terms), and buried registered feedback within combinatorial outputs. Three global clock pins (GCLK1–GCLK3), input transition detection (ITD) on clocks/I/Os, and programmable pin-keeper circuits provide deterministic timing and noise immunity in mixed-signal environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Density | 128 macrocells - enables replacement of multiple TTL/SSI/MSI devices in glue logic consolidation. |
| Pin-to-pin Delay | 7.5 ns - guarantees sub-133 MHz operation for critical path timing in synchronous control systems. |
| Max Registered Frequency | 125 MHz - supports high-speed state machines and data-path control in industrial PLCs and instrumentation. |
| Power Modes | 10 µA standby ("L" version), 1 mA pin-controlled power-down - reduces idle power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications. |
| I/O Voltage Support | 3.3 V or 5.0 V on VCCIO - allows direct interfacing with legacy 5 V logic and modern 3.3 V microcontrollers without level shifters. |

Pinout & Package
ATF1508ASL-25AU100 is packaged in a 100-lead Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP), 14 mm × 14 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant and green (Pb/Halide-free). The package supports surface-mount reflow assembly and provides 96 bi-directional I/O pins plus four dedicated input pins (GCLR, OE1, OE2/GCLK2, GCLK1), with GCLK3 available on an I/O pin.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–100 (see top-view diagram) | Bi-directional I/O / Dedicated Input / Power / Ground | Includes 96 I/Os (configurable as input/output/bidirectional), 4 dedicated inputs (GCLR, OE1, OE2/GCLK2, GCLK1), 3 global clocks (GCLK1–GCLK3), JTAG pins (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO), PD1/PD2 power-down controls, VCCIO (I/O supply), VCCINT (core supply), and GND. |
| TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO | JTAG Test Access Port | Enable IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan testing and in-system programming; TMS/TDI have optional internal pull-ups. |
| GCLK1, GCLK2, GCLK3 | Global Clock Inputs | Three independent clock sources with Input Transition Detection (ITD); GCLK2 doubles as OE2 output enable. |
| PD1, PD2 | Power-down Control Inputs | Assert high to enter <10 mA power-down mode; latches internal state and holds outputs; disables logic use of these pins. |
| VCCINT, VCCIO | Separate Power Domains | VCCINT = 5 V only (core logic); VCCIO = 3.3 V or 5.0 V (I/O drivers) - enables mixed-voltage system interfacing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Pin-keeper | Maintains last-driven logic state on floating inputs/I/Os - eliminates external pull-ups and prevents noise-induced switching in unconnected pins. |
| Reduced-power Macrocell Bit | Per-macrocell power gating - lowers dynamic current by disabling unused logic paths without affecting functionality. |
| Buried Registered Feedback | Enables combinatorial output with internal register feedback - supports dual-latch behavior per macrocell for compact state machine implementation. |
| Flexible Flip-flop Configuration | D/T/JK/SR/latch modes with product-term clock enable and asynchronous reset/preset - simplifies synthesis of complex sequential logic. |
| PCI-compliant I/O Drivers | Guaranteed VOH ≥ 2.4 V @ –2 mA and VOL ≤ 0.55 V @ 3–6 mA - meets PCI Local Bus specification for add-in board logic. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPLD applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCR3128XL-10VQ100C | 128 macrocells, 10 ns tPD, 3.3 V only, no VCCINT/VCCIO separation, lower ICC standby (~25 µA) | Lacks 5 V tolerance and PCI drive compliance; requires external level shifting for 5 V systems | Prefer when full 3.3 V system integration and lowest static power are priorities over mixed-voltage support. |
| EPM3128ATC100-10 | 128 macrocells, 10 ns tPD, 3.3 V core/I/O, no JTAG boundary-scan, non-ISP (requires UV erasure or parallel programming) | No in-system programmability or IEEE 1149.1 test capability; higher programming infrastructure cost | Consider only for cost-sensitive, high-volume production where field updates and testability are not required. |
Compared with XCR3128XL-10VQ100C and EPM3128ATC100-10, the ATF1508ASL-25AU100 uniquely supports dual-voltage I/O (3.3/5.0 V), PCI-compliant drive strength, and full JTAG boundary-scan - making it the only option among the three qualified for mixed-voltage industrial backplanes and PCI add-in cards requiring field-programmability and test access.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the ATF1508ASL-25AU100?
The ATF1508ASL-25AU100 is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and DC Operating Conditions section of the official datasheet (Rev. 0784P–PLD–7/05), where "L" suffix denotes the low-power industrial-grade variant. The "L" version also guarantees 10 µA standby current across this full range.
Does the ATF1508ASL-25AU100 support both 3.3 V and 5.0 V I/O simultaneously?
Yes - the ATF1508ASL-25AU100 uses separate power domains: VCCINT must be 5.0 V (core logic), while VCCIO can be independently set to either 3.3 V or 5.0 V. This allows the device to interface directly with both 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V legacy peripherals without external level shifters, as explicitly stated in the "3.3V or 5.0V I/O Operation" section of the datasheet.
How does the power-down mode work on the ATF1508ASL-25AU100?
The ATF1508ASL-25AU100 supports pin-controlled power-down via PD1 or PD2 inputs. When enabled in the design file and asserted high, supply current drops below 10 mA; all internal logic states and registered outputs are latched and held. Inputs (except PDx) are blocked, but pin-keeper circuits remain active to prevent floating. AC timing parameters during power-down entry/exit are specified in the "Power-down AC Characteristics" table.
Is the ATF1508ASL-25AU100 compatible with PCI bus specifications?
Yes - the ATF1508ASL-25AU100 is explicitly certified PCI-compliant. Its I/O drivers meet PCI DC requirements (VOH ≥ 2.4 V @ –2 mA, VOL ≤ 0.55 V @ 3–6 mA) and AC drive strength curves (e.g., IOH(AC) ≥ –44 mA at VOUT ≤ 1.4 V), as verified in the "PCI DC/AC Characteristics" tables and "PCI Compliance" section of the datasheet.
Can the ATF1508ASL-25AU100 be programmed in-system after soldering to the PCB?
Yes - the ATF1508ASL-25AU100 is fully in-system programmable (ISP) via its 4-pin JTAG interface (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO), compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1. Programming occurs at 5 V TTL levels without device removal. The JTAG port can be disabled in final configuration to reclaim those pins as general-purpose I/O, as documented in the "Programming" and "JTAG-BST Overview" sections.
