Product details
Overview
ATF1508ASVL-20QC100 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 JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1), in-system programming, and PCI-compliant I/O for embedded control logic integration.
For engineers reviewing the ATF1508ASVL-20QC100 datasheet, ATF1508ASVL-20QC100 pinout, ATF1508ASVL-20QC100 application, or ATF1508ASVL-20QC100 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100-lead TQFP package, 3.0–3.6 V supply range, automatic 5 µA standby current, programmable slew rate, and JTAG-based ISP capability for field updates.
Technical Context
The ATF1508ASVL-20QC100 implements a hierarchical CPLD architecture with eight logic chains, each supporting up to 40-product-term sum-of-products logic via cascade paths. Its global bus carries all 100 inputs plus 128 buried macrocell feedback signals, feeding switch matrices that select up to 40 signals per logic block.
Each macrocell integrates configurable D/T/latch flip-flops, XOR/OR/cascade logic, programmable output enable, open-collector option, and individual reduced-power mode control. Three dedicated global clock pins (GCLK1–3), input transition detection (ITD) circuits, and fast registered input from product term enable precise timing control in synchronous state machines and glue logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Density | 128 macrocells - provides gate count equivalent to ~2000 usable PLD gates for medium-complexity control logic. |
| Max Pin-to-pin Delay | 15 ns at -20 speed grade - ensures deterministic timing for 66 MHz system clock domains with setup/hold margin. |
| Operating Voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 3.3 V LVTTL/LVCMOS I/O standards and industrial power rails. |
| Standby Current | 5 µA (L version) - enables ultra-low-power retention in battery-backed or always-on monitoring systems. |
| JTAG Compliance | IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990 & 1149.1a-1993 - supports production boundary-scan test, in-circuit debugging, and secure ISP without board removal. |
| Program Cycles | 10,000 erase/program cycles - supports iterative firmware development and field reconfiguration over product lifetime. |
| Data Retention | 20 years - guarantees nonvolatile configuration integrity across extended storage or deployment periods. |
Pinout & Package
ATF1508ASVL-20QC100 is housed in a 100-lead Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP) with 0.5 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, green (Pb/Halide-free) construction. Thermal performance supports industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| I/O/PD1 | Power-down control input | Asserting high places device in sub-5 mA power-down mode; latches internal state and holds outputs valid. |
| INPUT/GCLR | Global asynchronous clear | Resets all macrocell flip-flops simultaneously; may be OR'd with product term for conditional reset. |
| INPUT/OE1 | Global output enable 1 | Selects true/complement enable for subsets of I/Os; configured automatically by fitter software. |
| I/O/GCLK3 | Global clock input 3 | Third dedicated clock source for independent timing domains; supports ITD for edge-triggered wake-up. |
| I/O/TDI | JTAG test data input | Serial input for BSDL scan chain and ISP programming; includes optional internal pull-up. |
| I/O/TMS | JTAG test mode select | Controls TAP controller state transitions; includes optional internal pull-up for robust initialization. |
| I/O/TCK | JTAG test clock | Drives boundary-scan and ISP operations; requires clean 50% duty cycle for reliable JTAG compliance. |
| I/O/TDO | JTAG test data output | Serial output for scan-out; high-impedance when TMS = 0 and TCK inactive. |
| VCCIO | I/O power supply | Separate 3.3 V rail for I/O buffers - decouples core logic voltage from interface signaling levels. |
| VCCINT | Core logic power supply | 3.3 V supply for macrocell array and routing resources; shares rail with VCCIO in most designs. |
| GND | Ground reference | Eight dedicated ground pins distributed across package corners and edges to minimize ground bounce. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable pin-keeper | Prevents floating inputs/I/Os without external pull-ups - eliminates DC leakage and noise in unconnected logic interfaces. |
| Individual macrocell power control | Reduces ICC3 by disabling unused logic paths - lowers standby current in partial-logic-utilization applications. |
| Combinatorial output with registered feedback | Enables dual-latch behavior within single macrocell - supports compact state machine encoding without extra resource allocation. |
| Input transition detection (ITD) | Generates asynchronous pulses on signal edges at GCLK, INPUT, or I/O pins - enables low-power wake-up from sleep modes. |
| Security fuse | Blocks readback of fuse pattern while preserving User Signature access - protects IP in deployed systems. |

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, 10 ns tPD, but lacks integrated power-down mode and pin-keeper circuitry. | Higher speed grade but no automatic 5 µA standby - less suitable for battery-powered or thermally constrained systems. | Choose for pure speed-critical glue logic where ultra-low standby is not required. |
| EPM3128ATC100-10 | 128 macrocells, 3.3 V, 10 ns tPD, supports JTAG ISP but uses different BSDL model and has no ITD circuits. | No input transition detection - cannot implement edge-triggered wake-up without external components. | Choose when migrating from Intel MAX 3000A toolchain and JTAG test infrastructure is already established. |
Compared with XCR3128XL-10VQ100C and EPM3128ATC100-10, the ATF1508ASVL-20QC100 uniquely combines sub-5 µA standby, programmable pin-keeper, and ITD in a single 100-lead TQFP package - making it optimal for energy-sensitive, field-upgradable industrial controllers.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the ATF1508ASVL-20QC100?
The ATF1508ASVL-20QC100 supports a maximum internal global clock frequency of 66 MHz and a maximum array clock frequency of 58.8 MHz, as specified in its -20 speed grade AC characteristics table. Registered operation achieves up to 77 MHz under optimized conditions. These values are measured with VCCIO = 3.3 V, CL = 35 pF, and slow slew rate disabled. The ATF1508ASVL-20QC100 datasheet confirms fCNT = 66 MHz and fACNT = 58.8 MHz for the -20 variant.
Does the ATF1508ASVL-20QC100 support in-system programming (ISP)?
Yes, the ATF1508ASVL-20QC100 supports IEEE 1149.1-compliant in-system programming via its four-pin JTAG interface (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO). ISP allows full configuration loading, erasure, and verification without removing the device from the PCB. The ATF1508ASVL-20QC100 also supports Serial Vector Format (SVF) files for ATE integration and permits disabling JTAG to reclaim four I/O pins when ISP is not needed.
What is the purpose of the PD1 and PD2 pins on the ATF1508ASVL-20QC100?
The PD1 and PD2 pins on the ATF1508ASVL-20QC100 provide pin-controlled power-down functionality. When asserted high, either pin reduces supply current to below 5 mA while latching all internal logic states and maintaining valid registered/combinatorial outputs. During power-down, input signals (except PDx) are blocked, and pin-keeper circuits prevent floating I/Os. The feature is enabled in the design source file and disables use of the associated macrocell's logic array input.
How does the ATF1508ASVL-20QC100 handle power-up reset?
The ATF1508ASVL-20QC100 includes a power-up reset circuit with selectable hysteresis (Small or Large). With Large hysteresis enabled - recommended for 3.0 V operation - registers initialize reliably when VCC crosses VRST, and ICC drops by several hundred microamps. The ATF1508ASVL-20QC100 requires monotonic VCC rise, proper setup/hold timing before first clock edge, and complete power-off if VCC falls below 2.0 V to ensure robust reset behavior.
Can the ATF1508ASVL-20QC100 be used in industrial temperature applications?
Yes, the ATF1508ASVL-20QC100 is rated for industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) operation and is available in the "L" version specifically optimized for low-power industrial environments. Its 5 µA standby current, 200 mA latch-up immunity, and 2000 V ESD protection meet stringent industrial reliability requirements. The 100-lead TQFP package is qualified for extended thermal cycling and moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3) handling.
