Product details
Overview
ATF1508ASVL-20AC100 from Microchip (formerly Atmel) is a high-density, electrically-erasable Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) with 128 macrocells, 3.0–3.6 V operation, 15 ns pin-to-pin delay, and 77 MHz registered logic performance. It integrates TTL/SSI/MSI logic in industrial control, legacy interface bridging, and FPGA companion logic applications.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1508ASVL-20AC100 datasheet, ATF1508ASVL-20AC100 pinout, ATF1508ASVL-20AC100 application, or ATF1508ASVL-20AC100 equivalent, key selection criteria include JTAG ISP capability, 100-pin TQFP package compatibility, low-power standby (5 µA), PCI compliance, and programmable slew rate for EMI control.
Technical Context
The ATF1508ASVL-20AC100 implements a hierarchical architecture with eight logic chains supporting up to 40-product-term sum-of-products per chain. Its global bus delivers 100+ signals-including all I/O, dedicated inputs, and buried macrocell feedback-to switch matrices that allocate up to 40 signals per logic block.
Each of its 128 macrocells supports D/T/latch flip-flops, individual product-term clock enables, asynchronous reset/preset, and combinatorial output with registered feedback. Three global clock pins (GCLK1–3), ITD circuits on clocks/inputs/I/O, and fast registered input from product term enable deterministic timing for state machines and glue logic.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPLD applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCR3256XL-10TQ144C | 256 macrocells, 10 ns speed grade, 3.3 V only, no built-in power-down mode | Higher density but lacks 5 µA standby; requires external power management for low-energy hold states | Select when logic capacity exceeds 128 macrocells and JTAG ISP is sufficient without ultra-low-power hold |
| EPM7128SLC84-10 | 128 macrocells, 5 V tolerant I/O, 10 ns speed, non-JTAG ISP (requires UV erasure or parallel programming) | Legacy 5 V system compatibility but no IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan or in-system reprogramming | Select only for brownfield 5 V designs where JTAG testability and field updates are not required |
Compared with ATF1508ASVL-20AC100, the XCR3256XL offers higher density but sacrifices ultra-low-power standby and integrated ITD; the EPM7128SLC84 provides 5 V tolerance but lacks JTAG ISP and modern power management-making ATF1508ASVL-20AC100 optimal for new 3.3 V industrial designs requiring field-upgradable, low-power glue logic.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the ATF1508ASVL-20AC100 in registered mode?
The ATF1508ASVL-20AC100 supports registered logic operation up to 77 MHz, verified by its -20 speed grade and AC characteristic fCNT = 66 MHz minimum internal global clock frequency. This enables reliable use in 50 MHz system buses with timing margin. The ATF1508ASVL-20AC100 achieves this using three dedicated global clock pins and low-skew routing resources within its enhanced switch matrix.
Does the ATF1508ASVL-20AC100 support in-system programming (ISP) without removing it from the PCB?
Yes, the ATF1508ASVL-20AC100 supports full IEEE 1149.1-compliant JTAG in-system programming via its TDI, TMS, TCK, and TDO pins. Programming can be performed using Atmel's ISP hardware/software or third-party SVF-compatible ATE tools. The ATF1508ASVL-20AC100 remains functional during partial reconfiguration, and its security fuse prevents unauthorized readback after programming.
What power-saving features does the ATF1508ASVL-20AC100 offer beyond standard standby mode?
The ATF1508ASVL-20AC100 provides automatic 5 µA standby (L-version), pin-controlled power-down (<5 mA), per-macrocell reduced-power bits, programmable pin-keeper circuits, and slew-rate-controlled outputs. These features collectively reduce dynamic and static power in mixed-signal industrial systems. The ATF1508ASVL-20AC100 uses these to achieve sub-100 µA average current in intermittently active control logic.
Can the JTAG pins of the ATF1508ASVL-20AC100 be repurposed as general-purpose I/O?
Yes - the JTAG pins (TDI, TMS, TCK, TDO) of the ATF1508ASVL-20AC100 can be disabled in the design file to function as standard I/Os, freeing four additional logic resources. This requires disabling JTAG BST and ISP functionality. The ATF1508ASVL-20AC100 retains pull-up options on TMS and TDI when used as I/O, simplifying bus-hold implementation without external resistors.
Is the ATF1508ASVL-20AC100 qualified for industrial temperature operation?
Yes, the ATF1508ASVL-20AC100 is rated for -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature operation, with guaranteed DC and AC performance across this range. Its 3.0–3.6 V supply tolerance, 200 mA latch-up immunity, and 2000 V ESD protection meet industrial reliability standards. The ATF1508ASVL-20AC100 also supports VCC power-up reset with large hysteresis for robust startup under marginal voltage conditions.
