Product details
Overview
ATF1508ASVL-20AI100 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), 15 ns maximum pin-to-pin delay, and operation up to 77 MHz. It supports in-system programming via IEEE 1149.1 JTAG and delivers PCI-compliant logic integration for industrial control and legacy interface bridging.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1508ASVL-20AI100 datasheet, ATF1508ASVL-20AI100 pinout, ATF1508ASVL-20AI100 application, or ATF1508ASVL-20AI100 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100-lead TQFP package, 3.0–3.6 V supply range, automatic 5 µA standby power mode, JTAG boundary-scan testability, and programmable slew rate per output.
Technical Context
The ATF1508ASVL-20AI100 implements a hierarchical CPLD architecture with eight logic chains supporting up to 40-product-term sum-of-products generation. Its global bus feeds all 128 macrocells and I/O pins, while each macrocell provides buried combinatorial or registered feedback independent of output configuration.
It features three dedicated global clock inputs (GCLK1–GCLK3), input transition detection (ITD) on clocks and I/Os, fast registered input paths from product terms, and flexible flip-flop modes including D/T/latch with asynchronous preset/clear. The device uses electrically-erasable EEPROM technology with 10,000 program/erase cycles and 20-year data retention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Density | 128 macrocells - enables replacement of multiple TTL/MSI devices or legacy PLDs in single-package logic consolidation. |
| Max Pin-to-pin Delay | 15 ns at -20 speed grade - ensures timing closure for 66 MHz system clock domains with margin. |
| Operating Voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 3.3 V logic families and industrial power rails without level translation. |
| Standby Current | 5 µA (L-version) - enables ultra-low-power hold states in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
| JTAG Compliance | IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990/1149.1a-1993 - supports production boundary-scan testing and field firmware updates without device removal. |
| Package | 100-lead TQFP - surface-mount footprint with 0.5 mm pitch, suitable for automated assembly and thermal management in dense PCB layouts. |
| Program Cycles | 10,000 erase/program cycles - supports iterative design validation and field reconfiguration over extended product lifecycles. |
Pinout & Package
ATF1508ASVL-20AI100 is packaged in a 100-lead Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP) with 0.5 mm lead pitch and exposed pad for thermal dissipation. Pin functions are defined per the manufacturer's top-view diagram and include dedicated global control inputs, JTAG interface pins, power/ground distribution, and configurable I/Os with programmable slew rate and open-collector capability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| INPUT/GCLR (Pin 89) | Global Asynchronous Clear | Resets all macrocell registers simultaneously; may be OR'd with product-term assertion for conditional reset. |
| INPUT/OE1 & INPUT/OE2 (Pins 88, 90) | Global Output Enable | Controls tri-state behavior across subsets of I/Os; polarity selectable per macrocell via fitter software. |
| I/O/GCLK3 (Pin 85) | Third Global Clock Input | Provides third independent clock domain; supports multi-clock state machines and synchronous FIFO interfaces. |
| I/O/TDI, TMS, TCK, TDO (Pins 4, 15, 62, 73) | JTAG Test Access Port | Enables boundary-scan testing, ISP programming, and BSDL-based diagnostics without external hardware adapters. |
| I/O/PD1 & I/O/PD2 (Pins 1, 41) | Power-down Control Inputs | Asserting either pin high reduces ICC to <5 mA; internal logic states and outputs remain latched during low-power hold. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Slew Rate | Per-output switching speed control reduces EMI and signal integrity issues on critical buses without sacrificing timing elsewhere. |
| Pin-keeper Circuits | Prevents floating inputs/I/Os by holding last-driven logic level - eliminates need for external pull-ups and associated DC leakage. |
| Three Global Clock Pins | Enables concurrent operation of independent logic domains (e.g., control, data path, status monitoring) with deterministic skew management. |
| Input Transition Detection (ITD) | Detects edges on global clocks, inputs, and I/Os - supports glitch-free interrupt generation and asynchronous event capture. |
| VCC Power-up Reset | Automatically initializes all registers at power-on; large-hysteresis option ensures robust reset in 3.0 V–3.3 V brownout conditions. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Legacy Bus Interface Bridging |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPLD applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCR3128XL-10VQ100C | 128 macrocells, 3.3 V only, 10 ns tPD, 100-pin VQFP; no built-in power-down mode or ITD circuits. | Lacks programmable slew rate and pin-keeper; requires external pull-ups; not qualified for industrial temperature range. | Select when faster timing (10 ns) is required and industrial temp operation is unnecessary. |
| EPM3128ATC100-10 | 128 macrocells, 3.3 V, 10 ns tPD, 100-pin TQFP; Flash-based, non-volatile, but no JTAG ISP support - requires external programmer. | No in-system programmability; no boundary-scan test capability; higher standby current (100 µA vs. 5 µA). | Select when long-term data retention without reprogramming is prioritized over field update flexibility. |
Compared with XCR3128XL-10VQ100C and EPM3128ATC100-10, the ATF1508ASVL-20AI100 uniquely combines industrial-grade temperature support (-40°C to +85°C), sub-µA standby power, JTAG ISP, and input transition detection - making it optimal for embedded control systems requiring field maintenance and energy efficiency.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the ATF1508ASVL-20AI100?
The ATF1508ASVL-20AI100 operates from 3.0 V to 3.6 V. This 3.3 V nominal range ensures compatibility with standard LVTTL and LVCMOS logic families while supporting industrial power supply tolerances. The device maintains full functionality-including JTAG ISP, boundary-scan, and power-down modes-across this entire voltage window, as verified in the DC characteristics table of the official datasheet (Rev. 1408H).
Does the ATF1508ASVL-20AI100 support in-system programming?
Yes, the ATF1508ASVL-20AI100 supports IEEE 1149.1-compliant in-system programming (ISP) via its four-pin JTAG interface (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO). Programming can be performed without removing the device from the PCB, enabling rapid prototyping, manufacturing programming, and field firmware updates. The JTAG port remains functional even after security fuse programming, and BSDL models are provided for test automation.
What is the purpose of the PD1 and PD2 pins on the ATF1508ASVL-20AI100?
The PD1 and PD2 pins on the ATF1508ASVL-20AI100 enable optional pin-controlled power-down mode. When either pin is driven high, the device enters a low-current state (<5 mA) while latching all internal logic states and registered outputs. Inputs (except PD pins) are blocked, and pin-keeper circuits prevent floating. This feature is enabled in the design source file and disables use of those pins' logic array inputs-but buried foldback resources remain available.
How many macrocells and product terms does the ATF1508ASVL-20AI100 provide?
The ATF1508ASVL-20AI100 contains 128 logic macrocells. Each macrocell has five dedicated product terms, expandable up to 40 via cascade logic from neighboring macrocells. This architecture supports high-fan-in sum-of-products expressions essential for complex state machines and arithmetic functions, with confirmed timing performance up to 77 MHz registered operation and 15 ns pin-to-pin delay at the -20 speed grade.
Is the ATF1508ASVL-20AI100 RoHS compliant and green-packaged?
Yes, the ATF1508ASVL-20AI100 is offered in green (Pb/Halide-free/RoHS-compliant) package options, including the 100-lead TQFP variant indicated by the "I100" suffix. It meets JEDEC JS709B and IPC-1752A requirements for hazardous substance restrictions. The device also features 2000 V HBM ESD protection and 200 mA latch-up immunity, ensuring robustness in industrial handling and operation.
