Overview
ATF1508ASL-25JI84 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 operation up to 125 MHz. It features three global clock inputs, JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1), in-system programmability, and PCI-compliant I/O drivers - used in legacy industrial control logic consolidation and FPGA prototyping support.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1508ASL-25JI84 datasheet, ATF1508ASL-25JI84 pinout, ATF1508ASL-25JI84 application, or ATF1508ASL-25JI84 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 84-pin PLCC package, 5 V internal core supply (VCCINT), dual-voltage I/O (3.3 V/5.0 V), automatic 10 µA standby mode, and JTAG-enabled field reprogrammability without board removal.
Technical Context
The ATF1508ASL-25JI84 implements a hierarchical CPLD architecture with 128 flexible macrocells, each supporting D/T/latch flip-flops, programmable output slew rate, open-collector option, and buried registered feedback within combinatorial outputs. Its global bus carries all 100+ input/I/O signals plus macrocell feedback, feeding switch matrices that select up to 40 signals per logic block.
It integrates IEEE 1149.1-compliant boundary-scan testing, fast ISP via TDI/TDO/TCK/TMS pins, PCI-compliant drive strength (±44 mA AC high, +206 mA AC low), and power management including pin-controlled power-down (PD1/PD2), individual macrocell reduced-power bits, and programmable pin-keeper circuits for floating I/O stabilization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Macrocell Count | 128 - provides gate-equivalent logic density sufficient to replace multiple 74-series TTL/MSI devices or classic PLDs in glue logic applications. |
| Pin-to-pin Delay | 7.5 ns - enables reliable operation in 125 MHz registered systems with timing margin for PCB trace delays and signal integrity. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 125 MHz - supports high-speed synchronous logic such as state machines, bus controllers, and interface protocol engines. |
| I/O Voltage Support | 3.3 V or 5.0 V - allows direct interfacing with mixed-voltage systems without level shifters; VCCIO pins are separately powered. |
| Standby Current | 10 µA (L-version) - enables ultra-low-power operation during system idle states without external power gating circuitry. |
| JTAG Compliance | IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990 & 1149.1a-1993 - guarantees interoperability with standard boundary-scan test equipment and debug tools. |

Pinout & Package
ATF1508ASL-25JI84 is packaged in an 84-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) with J-lead geometry, lead pitch of 0.05 inches (1.27 mm), and body size 1.170 × 1.170 inches (29.72 × 29.72 mm). The package is RoHS-compliant, Pb-free, and rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 84 | I/O/PD1 | Dedicated power-down control input; when asserted high (with PD feature enabled), forces device into sub-10 mA power-down state while latching all internal logic and outputs. |
| 3, 82 | I/O/TDI | JTAG Test Data Input - serial input for boundary-scan instruction/data; also usable as general-purpose I/O if JTAG disabled. |
| 12, 73 | I/O/TMS | JTAG Test Mode Select - controls TAP controller state transitions; pull-up option configurable in design file. |
| 25, 60 | I/O/TDO | JTAG Test Data Output - serial output for boundary-scan data; high-impedance when not active; no external pull required. |
| 26, 59 | I/O/TCK | JTAG Test Clock - synchronous clock for scan operations; must be driven externally; tolerant of 5 V logic levels. |
| 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13–24, 27–32, 34–40, 42–58, 61–72, 74–83 | I/O | Bi-directional user I/O pins - individually configurable as input, output, or bidirectional; support slew rate control, open-collector mode, and pin-keeper function. |
| 14, 33, 41, 50, 69, 78 | VCCIO | I/O power supply pins - must be connected to either 3.3 V or 5.0 V; decoupling capacitors required per pin for noise suppression. |
| 39, 54, 64 | GND | Ground reference pins - provide return paths for I/O and internal logic; multiple GND pins minimize ground bounce and improve signal integrity. |
| 44, 55 | VCCINT | Core logic power supply - must be connected to 5.0 V ±5%; powers input buffers and macrocell logic; not compatible with 3.3 V. |
| 20, 45, 70 | INPUT/GCLK1–3 | Global clock inputs - asynchronous clock sources for register clocks; support ITD (input transition detection) for edge-sensitive wake-up. |
| 19, 46 | INPUT/OE1–2 | Global output enable inputs - control tri-state behavior across groups of I/Os; can be inverted or combined with product terms. |
| 18 | INPUT/GCLR | Global clear input - asynchronous reset for all registers; may be OR'd with product term for conditional reset functionality. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Pin-keeper | Prevents floating I/Os by holding last-driven logic state - eliminates need for external pull-up/down resistors and associated DC power loss. |
| Three Global Clock Pins | Enables independent clock domains for partitioned logic blocks - supports multi-clock domain designs like PCI-to-legacy bus bridges. |
| Input Transition Detection (ITD) | Allows wake-up from low-power mode on signal edges at GCLK, INPUT, or I/O pins - critical for battery-backed industrial monitoring nodes. |
| Combinatorial Output with Registered Feedback | Permits dual-latch behavior inside single macrocell - reduces resource usage in sequential logic with feedback paths (e.g., counters, shift registers). |
| PCI-Compliant Drive Strength | Meets PCI Local Bus v2.2 sink/source requirements - enables direct connection to PCI slots without external bus transceivers. |
| Security Fuse Protection | Blocks unauthorized readback of configuration bitstream - preserves IP in deployed systems where physical access cannot be fully controlled. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the ATF1508ASL-25JI84?
The ATF1508ASL-25JI84 is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This is confirmed by its "I" suffix in the part number and verified in the DC operating conditions table (page 14 of Rev. 0784P–PLD–7/05), where VCCIO and ICC specifications are explicitly defined across this full range.
Does the ATF1508ASL-25JI84 support both 3.3 V and 5.0 V I/O simultaneously?
Yes - the ATF1508ASL-25JI84 supports mixed-voltage I/O via separate VCCIO and VCCINT supplies. VCCINT must be 5.0 V for core logic, while VCCIO pins may be independently set to either 3.3 V or 5.0 V, enabling simultaneous interfacing with 3.3 V and 5.0 V peripherals on different I/O banks.
How does the power-down mode work on the ATF1508ASL-25JI84?
The ATF1508ASL-25JI84 supports pin-controlled power-down using PD1 (pin 1) or PD2 (pin 84). When enabled in the design file and asserted high, it reduces supply current to <10 mA while latching all internal states and outputs. Inputs other than PD pins are blocked, and pin-keeper circuits remain active to prevent floating.
Is the ATF1508ASL-25JI84 pin-compatible with other ATF1508AS variants?
Yes - the ATF1508ASL-25JI84 shares identical 84-pin PLCC pinout and electrical characteristics with all other ATF1508AS(L) variants in the same package (e.g., ATF1508AS-25JU84). Differences are limited to temperature grade, standby current behavior, and security fuse programming - no PCB layout changes are needed for substitution within the same package type.
What JTAG standards does the ATF1508ASL-25JI84 comply with?
The ATF1508ASL-25JI84 complies with IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990 and 1149.1a-1993 for boundary-scan testing. It implements full SAMPLE/PRELOAD, EXTEST, BYPASS, and IDCODE instructions, and ships with BSDL models conforming to the standard - verified in the JTAG-BST Overview section (page 9) and BSDL Models note (page 10).
