Product details
Overview
ATF1508ASL-25JU84 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, in-system programmability, and operates with 5.0 V VCCINT and 3.3/5.0 V VCCIO. It is used in legacy PCI-compliant interface logic, industrial control state machines, and reconfigurable glue logic.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1508ASL-25JU84 datasheet, ATF1508ASL-25JU84 pinout, ATF1508ASL-25JU84 application, or ATF1508ASL-25JU84 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 84-pin PLCC package, low-power "L" standby mode (10 µA), programmable slew rate, pin-keeper inputs, and dual-voltage I/O compatibility - all critical for power-sensitive, field-upgradable embedded systems requiring deterministic timing and secure configuration.
Technical Context
The ATF1508ASL-25JU84 implements a hierarchical CPLD architecture with 128 flexible macrocells, each offering five product terms expandable to 40 via cascade logic, plus buried feedback routed to a global bus carrying up to 100 signals. Its routing switch matrix selects 40 signals per logic block, enabling high utilization in pin-locked designs.
It integrates IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan testing, Fast ISP programming, PCI-compliant I/O drivers (±44 mA high-side, +206 mA low-side), and advanced power management including automatic 10 µA standby, pin-controlled power-down (PD1/PD2), and per-macrocell reduced-power mode - all configurable without external components.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
ATF1508ASL-25JU84 is housed in an 84-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with J-lead geometry, 1.27 mm pitch, and body size 29.31 mm × 29.31 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 (see top view) | Bi-directional I/O or dedicated input | All pins support configurable I/O direction; dedicated pins (e.g., GCLK1–GCLK3, GCLR, OE1/OE2) double as global control signals |
| GCLK1, GCLK2, GCLK3 | Global clock input | Three independent clock domains; each supports ITD (input transition detection) for asynchronous edge capture |
| GCLR | Global clear input | Asynchronous reset for all macrocell flip-flops; may be OR'd with product-term reset |
| OE1, OE2 | Output enable input | Control macrocell output enables; true/complement selectable per macrocell via fitter |
| PD1, PD2 | Power-down control | Active-high pins that force device into <10 mA power-down mode; internal states latched, outputs held |
| TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO | JTAG boundary-scan interface | Standard 4-pin IEEE 1149.1 port; supports ISP programming and board-level test without external hardware |
| VCCINT | Internal logic supply | Must be connected to 5.0 V ±5%; powers input buffers and core logic; compatible with 3.3 V or 5.0 V inputs |
| VCCIO | I/O driver supply | Configurable for 3.3 V or 5.0 V; sets output voltage swing and drive strength (PCI-compliant at 5 V) |
| GND | Ground reference | Multiple GND pins distributed across package to minimize noise and ensure signal integrity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable pin-keeper | Prevents floating inputs/I/Os without external pull-ups; reduces system noise and DC power consumption |
| Per-macrocell reduced-power bit | Individually disables unused logic resources to cut dynamic current - critical for thermal-constrained designs |
| Combinatorial output with registered feedback | Enables dual-latch behavior within single macrocell - increases functional density without extra logic blocks |
| VCC power-up reset with hysteresis option | Ensures deterministic state-machine initialization; Large hysteresis reduces ICC by hundreds of µA |
| Security fuse + User Signature | Fuse prevents unauthorized readback; two bytes (16 bits) remain readable for revision tracking regardless of fuse state |
| PCI-compliant I/O drivers | Meets PCI v2.2 DC/AC specs: VOH ≥ 2.4 V @ –2 mA, VOL ≤ 0.55 V @ 3/6 mA, ±44 mA AC sourcing/sinking |

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 capability | Choose for new 3.3 V-only designs needing >128 macrocells; not drop-in for ATF1508ASL-25JU84 |
| EPM7128SLC84-10 | 128 macrocells, 10 ns delay, 5 V only, no JTAG ISP (requires UV erasure) | No in-system programmability; requires socketed UV-erasable programming | Consider only if JTAG ISP and security fuse are unnecessary; incompatible with field updates |
Compared with XCR3256XL-10TQ144I and EPM7128SLC84-10, the ATF1508ASL-25JU84 uniquely combines 5 V-tolerant I/O, PCI compliance, automatic 10 µA standby, and JTAG-based security - making it irreplaceable in legacy industrial and medical systems requiring mixed-voltage operation and field firmware updates.

FAQ
What is the difference between ATF1508ASL-25JU84 and the standard ATF1508AS version?
The "L" suffix denotes the low-power variant: ATF1508ASL-25JU84 delivers automatic 10 µA standby current when idle, whereas the standard ATF1508AS consumes ~160 mA in standby. Both share identical logic architecture, pinout, and JTAG ISP capability, but only the "L" version supports this ultra-low quiescent current - essential for battery-backed or thermally constrained applications where the ATF1508ASL-25JU84 is deployed.
Does ATF1508ASL-25JU84 support 3.3 V I/O operation while maintaining 5 V internal logic?
Yes. ATF1508ASL-25JU84 uses separate VCCINT (5.0 V) and VCCIO (3.3 V or 5.0 V) supplies. VCCINT powers the core logic and input buffers - ensuring compatibility with both 3.3 V and 5.0 V input signals - while VCCIO sets the output driver voltage and strength. This dual-supply architecture allows the ATF1508ASL-25JU84 to interface safely with 3.3 V FPGAs or microcontrollers while retaining full 5 V PCI-compliant drive capability when needed.
Can ATF1508ASL-25JU84 be programmed in-system after soldering to the PCB?
Yes. ATF1508ASL-25JU84 supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG in-system programming (ISP) via its TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO pins. No socket or UV eraser is required. Programming can be performed using Microchip's official ISP tools or third-party SVF-compatible ATE equipment. The ATF1508ASL-25JU84 remains fully functional during and after ISP, with pin-keeper circuitry preserving I/O states throughout the process.
What does the "25" in ATF1508ASL-25JU84 signify?
The "25" indicates the speed grade: 7.5 ns maximum pin-to-pin propagation delay, corresponding to a 125 MHz maximum registered operating frequency. This speed bin is confirmed by AC characterization across industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and applies to all signal paths - including combinatorial outputs, registered outputs, and global clock-to-output timing - as specified in the ATF1508ASL-25JU84 datasheet.
Is the ATF1508ASL-25JU84 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes. ATF1508ASL-25JU84 is manufactured in a green, Pb-free, halide-free package compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The 84-lead PLCC package uses matte tin lead finish and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 3. Full compliance documentation, including material declarations and test reports, is available from Microchip upon request for the ATF1508ASL-25JU84.
