Product details
Overview
ATF1508ASVL-20JC84 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 3.0–3.6 V operation. It supports registered operation up to 77 MHz, features three global clock inputs, and is packaged in an 84-lead PLCC for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) applications including legacy system glue logic and FPGA companion control.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1508ASVL-20JC84 datasheet, ATF1508ASVL-20JC84 pinout, ATF1508ASVL-20JC84 application, or ATF1508ASVL-20JC84 equivalent, key selection criteria include JTAG ISP capability, low-power standby (5 µA), programmable slew rate, open-collector output option, and PCI compliance - all confirmed for this exact PLCC-84 "L" version.
Technical Context
The ATF1508ASVL-20JC84 implements a hierarchical CPLD architecture with eight logic chains, each supporting up to 40-product-term sum-of-products logic via cascade paths. Its switch matrix selects up to 40 signals from a global bus fed by all 96 I/Os, four dedicated inputs, and buried macrocell feedback.
Each of its 128 macrocells includes five product terms (expandable to 40 via cascade), configurable D/T/latch flip-flops, individual register control, programmable output enable, and optional registered feedback within combinatorial outputs. ITD circuits on global clocks, inputs, and I/Os support input transition detection.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the ATF1508ASVL-20JC84?
The ATF1508ASVL-20JC84 operates over 3.0 V to 3.6 V, fully compliant with 3.3 V logic standards. This range ensures compatibility with industrial power supplies and avoids overvoltage stress on I/O structures. The device guarantees full functionality-including 77 MHz registered operation and 15 ns pin-to-pin delay-across the entire voltage window, as verified in the –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade.
Does the ATF1508ASVL-20JC84 support in-system programming (ISP)?
Yes, the ATF1508ASVL-20JC84 supports IEEE 1149.1-compliant in-system programming via its dedicated TDI, TMS, TCK, and TDO pins. ISP allows full configuration bitstream loading and verification without removing the device from the PCB. The ATF1508ASVL-20JC84 also permits disabling JTAG to reclaim all four pins as general-purpose I/O, provided the security fuse remains unprogrammed.
How does the power-down feature work on the ATF1508ASVL-20JC84?
The ATF1508ASVL-20JC84 implements pin-controlled power-down using PD1 (pin 12) and/or PD2 (pin 45). When either pin is driven high, internal logic latches and holds all register and output states while reducing supply current to <5 mA. Inputs other than PD pins are blocked, and pin-keeper circuits maintain I/O levels. The feature is enabled in the design source file and cannot coexist with logic use of the PD pin's macrocell resources.
What is the purpose of the programmable pin-keeper in the ATF1508ASVL-20JC84?
The programmable pin-keeper in the ATF1508ASVL-20JC84 prevents unused input and I/O pins from floating to indeterminate voltages, eliminating shoot-through current and system noise. When enabled, the keeper holds the last driven logic level (high or low) after the driving source is removed. This removes the need for external pull-up/pull-down resistors, saving board area and DC power - especially valuable in high-pin-count industrial interfaces.
Is the ATF1508ASVL-20JC84 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the ATF1508ASVL-20JC84 is RoHS compliant and offered in green (Pb/Halide-free) package options. Its 84-lead PLCC package meets JEDEC standard J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 3 and is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering profiles. Full compliance documentation, including substance declarations and test reports, is available through Microchip's official product page for ATF1508ASVL-20JC84.
