Product details
Overview
ATF1508ASV-15JI84 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a high-density, electrically-erasable Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) with 128 macrocells, 15 ns maximum pin-to-pin delay, and operation across 3.0V–3.6V supply. It supports registered logic up to 77 MHz, features JTAG-based in-system programming (ISP), and is packaged in an 84-lead PLCC for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It serves as a drop-in replacement for TTL/MSI logic in control-plane glue logic, state machine implementation, and interface bridging.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1508ASV-15JI84 datasheet, ATF1508ASV-15JI84 pinout, ATF1508ASV-15JI84 application, or ATF1508ASV-15JI84 equivalent, this page delivers verified macrocell count, timing parameters, JTAG boundary-scan compliance (IEEE 1149.1a), power-down modes, and PLCC-specific pin mapping - all confirmed against Atmel's Rev. 1408H specification.
Technical Context
The ATF1508ASV-15JI84 implements a hierarchical CPLD architecture with eight logic chains, each supporting up to 40-product-term sum-of-products logic via cascade expansion. Its global bus feeds all 128 macrocells with up to 100 input signals, while each macrocell provides five base product terms expandable to 40 using foldback and regional bus routing.
It integrates three dedicated global clock pins (GCLK1–GCLK3), two programmable power-down pins (PD1/PD2), and IEEE 1149.1a-compliant JTAG test access port (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO) with pull-up options on TMS/TDI. Input transition detection (ITD) circuits are present on global clocks, inputs, and I/Os - enabled by default in non-"Z" variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Macrocell Count | 128 macrocells with buried feedback to global bus - enables high gate utilization and logic density without external feedback routing. |
| Max Pin-to-pin Delay | 15 ns (–15 speed grade) - guarantees deterministic timing for synchronous designs operating up to 77 MHz registered frequency. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 3.3 V systems; supports VCCIO/VCCINT separation in multi-voltage board designs. |
| JTAG Compliance | IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990 and 1149.1a-1993 - enables boundary-scan testing, ISP, and BSDL-based verification without external programmers. |
| Standby Current | 5 µA in "L" mode - ultra-low quiescent current for battery-backed or always-on control logic applications. |
| Package & Temp | 84-lead PLCC, industrial grade (–40°C to +85°C) - suitable for ruggedized embedded control and telecom infrastructure. |
| Logic Inputs | Up to 100 global bus inputs - accommodates wide data buses, address decoding, and multi-signal status aggregation. |
Pinout & Package
ATF1508ASV-15JI84 is housed in an 84-lead plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC) package with J-lead profile, designed for socketed or surface-mount assembly in industrial environments. Pin 1 is marked by a notch on the top-left corner of the package body.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | INPUT/GCLR | Global asynchronous clear input - resets all macrocell flip-flops simultaneously; can be OR'd with product-term reset. |
| 2 | INPUT/OE2/GCLK2 | Multi-function pin: global output enable #2 or global clock #2 - configurable per macrocell in design software. |
| 12, 45 | I/O/PD1 | Bi-directional I/O with power-down control - when asserted high, forces device into sub-5 mA standby; disables logic but retains register states. |
| 14 | I/O/TDI | JTAG Test Data In - serial input for boundary-scan instruction/data; includes programmable internal pull-up. |
| 23 | I/O/TMS | JTAG Test Mode Select - controls TAP controller state machine; includes programmable internal pull-up. |
| 62 | I/O/TCK | JTAG Test Clock - synchronous clock for scan operations; must meet tFSU/tFH setup/hold requirements. |
| 71 | I/O/TDO | JTAG Test Data Out - serial output driven only during SHIFT-DR/SHIFT-IR states; high-impedance otherwise. |
| 81 | I/O/GCLK3 | Third global clock input - enables triple-clock-domain designs (e.g., system clock, ADC trigger, UART baud rate). |
| 83, 84 | INPUT/GCLK1, INPUT/OE1 | Dedicated global clock #1 and output enable #1 - decouples clocking and tri-state control from I/O resource allocation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Pin-keeper | Prevents floating inputs/I/Os by latching last-driven state - eliminates need for external pull-ups and reduces system noise and DC leakage. |
| Fast Input Transition Detection (ITD) | Detects edges on GCLKs, inputs, and I/Os without consuming macrocell resources - enables glitch-free interrupt generation and edge-triggered sampling. |
| Three Global Clock Pins | Supports independent clock domains for control, data path, and peripheral interfaces - avoids clock domain crossing logic and simplifies timing closure. |
| VCC Power-up Reset Option | Configurable hysteresis (Small/Large) ensures reliable state-machine initialization at 3.3 V - Large hysteresis recommended for low-VCC margin applications. |
| Open-collector Output Option | Enables wired-OR interrupt lines shared across multiple devices - supports legacy bus arbitration and shared status signaling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPLD applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATF1508ASVL-15JI84 | Same die, "L" suffix denotes automatic 5 µA standby mode; identical pinout and AC specs. | Preferred where ultra-low quiescent current is mandatory (e.g., battery-backed systems); no functional trade-offs. | Select ATF1508ASVL-15JI84 if automatic low-power entry is required without external control logic. |
| XCR3128XL-10VQ100I | Xilinx CoolRunner-II CPLD: 128 macrocells, 10 ns speed, 100-pin VQFP; higher I/O count (96 vs. 80), no PD pins. | Better suited for high-I/O-count designs requiring more than 80 user pins; lacks pin-controlled power-down but offers lower static current (10 µA typical). | Choose XCR3128XL-10VQ100I when board layout supports VQFP and >80 I/Os are needed; verify JTAG BSDL compatibility with existing test infrastructure. |
Compared with ATF1508ASVL-15JI84, the ATF1508ASV-15JI84 requires explicit PD pin assertion for low-power mode, offering finer control over wake-up latency; versus XCR3128XL-10VQ100I, it provides native PLCC packaging and integrated ITD circuits - critical for edge-sensitive control logic in legacy industrial systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the ATF1508ASV-15JI84?
The ATF1508ASV-15JI84 supports registered logic operation up to 77 MHz, validated by its –15 speed grade (15 ns maximum pin-to-pin delay). This frequency applies to global clock domains; array clock paths support up to 76.9 MHz. The actual achievable frequency depends on logic depth, routing congestion, and whether reduced-power mode is enabled - which adds up to 13 ns (tRPA) to key timing paths.
Does the ATF1508ASV-15JI84 support in-system programming (ISP)?
Yes, the ATF1508ASV-15JI84 supports full in-system programming via its 4-pin JTAG interface (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO), compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1a-1993. Programming can be performed without removing the device from the PCB using SVF files, Atmel's ISP software, or third-party ATE tools - enabling field updates and manufacturing flexibility.
What is the purpose of the PD1 and PD2 pins on the ATF1508ASV-15JI84?
The PD1 and PD2 pins on the ATF1508ASV-15JI84 provide pin-controlled power-down functionality. When asserted high, either pin reduces supply current to below 5 mA while latching all register and output states. These pins cannot serve as general-purpose I/O when power-down is enabled, but their associated macrocells retain buried logic capability for cascade/foldback use.
How does the ATF1508ASV-15JI84 handle power-up initialization?
The ATF1508ASV-15JI84 includes a VCC-powered reset circuit with selectable hysteresis (Small/Large). With Large hysteresis enabled - recommended for 3.0 V–3.3 V operation - registers initialize reliably after VCC crosses ~2.3 V, and ICC drops by several hundred µA. Users must ensure monotonic VCC rise and meet setup/hold times before first clock edge to guarantee deterministic state-machine startup.
Can the JTAG pins on the ATF1508ASV-15JI84 be used as general-purpose I/O?
Yes, the JTAG pins (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO) on the ATF1508ASV-15JI84 can be repurposed as user I/O when JTAG boundary-scan and ISP functions are disabled in the design file. Disabling JTAG frees four additional logic resources and removes BSDL constraints - but eliminates in-circuit testability and field-programming capability for that device instance.
