Product details
Overview
ATF1508ASL-25QI100 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 support for registered operation up to 125 MHz. It features three global clock inputs, JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1), in-system programmability, and operates across industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) in a 100-lead TQFP package.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1508ASL-25QI100 datasheet, ATF1508ASL-25QI100 pinout, ATF1508ASL-25QI100 application, or ATF1508ASL-25QI100 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 100-pin TQFP footprint, dual VCCINT/VCCIO supply architecture (5V core / 3.3V or 5V I/O), PCI-compliant drive capability, programmable power-down via PD1/PD2 pins, and security fuse protection.
Technical Context
The ATF1508ASL-25QI100 implements a hierarchical logic architecture with 128 flexible macrocells, each supporting D/T/latch flip-flops, individual output enable, programmable slew rate, and open-collector output option. Its global bus carries all 100 I/O signals plus buried macrocell feedback, feeding switch matrices that select up to 40 signals per logic block.
It integrates IEEE 1149.1-compliant JTAG boundary-scan testing, fast ISP programming, Input Transition Detection (ITD) on global clocks and I/Os, and advanced power management including automatic 10 µA standby ('L' version), pin-controlled 1 mA power-down, and per-macrocell reduced-power mode. The device supports both 3.3V and 5.0V I/O operation with separate VCCIO and VCCINT supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Density | 128 macrocells - provides gate count equivalent to ~2000 usable PLD gates for integration of TTL/SSI/MSI logic blocks. |
| Propagation Delay | 7.5 ns max pin-to-pin - enables reliable operation in high-speed control paths with tight timing budgets. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 125 MHz registered operation - supports synchronous logic in real-time industrial controllers and communication interfaces. |
| I/O Count | 96 bi-directional I/O + 4 dedicated inputs - allows full utilization of 100-pin TQFP package for complex board-level signal routing. |
| Power Modes | 10 µA standby (L-version), 1 mA pin-controlled power-down, per-macrocell reduced-power bit - enables dynamic power scaling in battery-backed or thermally constrained systems. |

Pinout & Package
ATF1508ASL-25QI100 is housed in a 100-lead Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP), measuring 14 mm × 14 mm × 1.4 mm, with 0.5 mm lead pitch and exposed thermal pad. Pin compatibility is maintained across 100-lead PQFP and TQFP variants, though mechanical mounting differs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GCLK1–GCLK3 | Global Clock Inputs | Three dedicated low-skew clock inputs; each can be selected as clock source per macrocell or used for ITD detection. |
| GCLR | Global Clear Input | Asynchronous reset input shared across all macrocells; configurable per macrocell as active-high or OR'd with product term. |
| OE1 / OE2 | Output Enable Inputs | Two global output enable pins; each can be inverted or routed to individual macrocells for fine-grained I/O control. |
| PD1 / PD2 | Power-down Control | Active-high pins enabling hardware-triggered <10 mA power-down mode; disables logic transitions while latching outputs and internal state. |
| TCK / TMS / TDI / TDO | JTAG Test Access Port | Standard 4-pin IEEE 1149.1 interface for boundary-scan testing and in-system programming; pull-up optional on TMS/TDI. |
| VCCINT | Core Supply | 5.0 V ±5% supply for internal logic and input buffers; compatible with both 3.3V and 5V input signaling levels. |
| VCCIO | I/O Supply | Configurable 3.3V (2.7–3.6V) or 5.0V (4.75–5.25V) supply for output drivers; determines output voltage swing and drive strength. |
| I/Oxx | Bi-directional I/O | 96 user-programmable I/Os; each supports input, output, or bidirectional mode with programmable slew rate and pin-keeper. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Pin-keeper | Prevents floating inputs/I/Os by holding last driven state - eliminates need for external pull-ups and reduces system noise and DC leakage. |
| Combinatorial Output with Registered Feedback | Enables dual-latch functionality within single macrocell - supports compact state machine implementation without consuming extra macrocells. |
| Input Transition Detection (ITD) | Detects edges on global clocks, inputs, and I/Os - enables asynchronous event capture (e.g., interrupt generation) without dedicated logic resources. |
| Three Global Clock Pins | Provides independent clock domains for multi-rate subsystems - simplifies timing closure in mixed-speed designs like PCI bridge + local control logic. |
| Security Fuse & User Signature | One-time programmable fuse prevents unauthorized readback; 16-bit user-accessible signature space stores revision, project ID, or date. |
| VCC Power-up Reset Option | Hysteresis-selectable (Small/Large) reset threshold ensures deterministic initialization of registers at power-on - critical for FSM reliability. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPLD applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATF1508AS-25QI100 | Lacks automatic 10 µA standby; uses standard 160 mA ICC1 standby current instead of 'L'-version ultra-low power mode. | Suitable for mains-powered systems where standby current is non-critical; not recommended for battery-backed or thermally sensitive deployments. | Select ATF1508ASL-25QI100 when <10 µA quiescent current is required; choose ATF1508AS-25QI100 only if legacy design reuse mandates identical non-L timing specs. |
| XCR3256XL-10TQ144I | 256 macrocells, 10 ns tPD, 3.3V-only core/I/O, no VCCINT/VCCIO separation; higher density but less flexible voltage handling. | Better suited for new 3.3V-only designs requiring >128 macrocells; lacks PCI compliance and dual-voltage I/O needed for mixed-signaling environments. | Choose XCR3256XL-10TQ144I for greenfield 3.3V systems needing higher logic capacity; retain ATF1508ASL-25QI100 for 5V/3.3V coexistence, PCI, or industrial temp support. |
Compared with ATF1508AS-25QI100, the ATF1508ASL-25QI100 delivers 16× lower standby current without sacrificing speed or I/O flexibility; versus XCR3256XL-10TQ144I, it trades macrocell count for broader voltage tolerance, PCI readiness, and proven industrial deployment history.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the ATF1508ASL-25QI100?
The ATF1508ASL-25QI100 is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is guaranteed across all DC and AC parameters, including 7.5 ns propagation delay and 125 MHz registered performance, making it suitable for harsh-environment applications such as factory automation and outdoor communications equipment.
Does the ATF1508ASL-25QI100 support both 3.3V and 5.0V I/O signaling?
Yes, the ATF1508ASL-25QI100 supports dual-voltage I/O via separate VCCIO and VCCINT supplies: VCCINT must be 5.0V ±5%, while VCCIO can be configured for either 3.3V (2.7–3.6V) or 5.0V (4.75–5.25V). This allows safe interfacing with mixed-voltage systems - for example, connecting 3.3V FPGAs to 5V legacy peripherals - without level shifters.
How does the power-down mode work on the ATF1508ASL-25QI100?
The ATF1508ASL-25QI100 supports hardware-triggered power-down via PD1 or PD2 pins: when either pin is driven high, device current drops below 10 mA, internal logic states and outputs are latched, and all inputs (except PDx) are blocked. The macrocell associated with the PD pin remains usable for buried logic, but its I/O function is disabled during power-down.
Is the ATF1508ASL-25QI100 PCI-compliant, and what does that mean for my design?
Yes, the ATF1508ASL-25QI100 meets PCI Specification Rev. 2.2 electrical requirements, including VOL ≤ 0.55 V @ 3 mA, VOH ≥ 2.4 V @ –2 mA, and sink/source drive strength up to –44 mA / +95 mA. This enables direct connection to PCI bus lines without external drivers - reducing component count and signal integrity risk in add-in cards and host bridge logic.
Can the ATF1508ASL-25QI100 be reprogrammed in-system, and what interface is used?
Yes, the ATF1508ASL-25QI100 supports full in-system programmability (ISP) via its 4-pin JTAG interface (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO), compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1. Programming can be performed using Microchip's ATDH2200 download cable, third-party SVF-compatible ATE, or embedded microcontroller interfaces - all without removing the device from the PCB.
