Product details
Overview
ATF20V8B-10JC from Atmel is a high-performance, electrically-erasable CMOS programmable logic device (PLD) with 7.5 ns to 10 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay, 8 macrocells each configurable as registered/combinatorial I/O or input, and support for PAL emulation including 20R8, 20L8, and 14L8 families - used in legacy digital control, glue logic replacement, and industrial interface adaptation.
For engineers reviewing the ATF20V8B-10JC datasheet, ATF20V8B-10JC pinout, ATF20V8B-10JC application, or ATF20V8B-10JC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 24-pin DIP-compatible PLCC-28 package, 10 ns speed grade at commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C), Flash-based reprogrammability, and three-mode architecture (Registered/Complex/Simple) enabling direct PAL drop-in replacement without PCB redesign.
Technical Context
The ATF20V8B-10JC implements a universal 8-macrocell architecture supporting Registered, Complex, and Simple modes - automatically selected by compiler based on register usage and output enable requirements. Each macrocell allocates up to eight product terms to sum logic, with dedicated OE control per output in Complex mode and clocked registers in Registered mode.
It uses Atmel's Flash memory technology for 100 erase/write cycles and 20-year data retention, features internal input/I/O pull-up resistors, supports 5V ±5% supply at commercial temperature, and meets PCI compliance with 2,000V ESD protection and 200 mA latchup immunity - all verified across its PLCC-28 package variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay (tPD) | 10 ns maximum - guarantees timing-critical combinatorial paths meet 100 MHz system clock edge alignment. |
| Supply Voltage | 5V ±5% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails without regulation overhead. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - validated for commercial-grade embedded control and instrumentation applications. |
| Macrocell Count | 8 - provides sufficient logic density for small-state machines, bus arbitration, and address decoding. |
| Product Terms per Macrocell | Up to 8 - enables implementation of multi-input NAND/NOR logic functions within single macrocell. |
| Package Type | 28-lead PLCC (28J) - surface-mount compatible with automated assembly and socket-based prototyping. |
| Power Supply Current (ICC, Standby) | 60–90 mA - defines worst-case quiescent power draw during system idle states. |
Pinout & Package
ATF20V8B-10JC is packaged in a 28-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC-28, JEDEC MS-018 AB), with 1.27 mm pitch, 12.45 mm × 12.45 mm body, and lead coplanarity ≤0.102 mm - suitable for reflow and wave soldering.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CLK / IN | Global clock input or general-purpose logic input; dual-function pin shared with macrocell 1 feedback path. |
| 2–10, 12–13, 22–24 | IN | Dedicated input pins feeding AND-array; no feedback capability - used for primary signal routing. |
| 14–21 | I/O | Bidirectional macrocell outputs with configurable direction; support registered, combinatorial, or input-only modes. |
| 11 | OE / IN | Output enable control or logic input; active-low global OE when configured as control, otherwise standard input. |
| 25–28 | GND / VCC | Four dedicated power/ground pins (pins 25, 26 = GND; 27, 28 = VCC) ensure low-noise supply distribution. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flash-based reprogrammability | 100 erase/write cycles with full device verification - enables field firmware updates and design iteration without hardware change. |
| Three automatic configuration modes | Registered/Complex/Simple modes selected by compiler - eliminates manual architecture selection and ensures optimal resource mapping. |
| Internal input/I/O pull-up resistors | Weak active pull-ups prevent floating inputs - removes need for external biasing in unused or tri-stated I/Os. |
| PAL family emulation | Direct replacement for 20R8, 20L8, 14L8, and 16L6 - preserves legacy JEDEC files and simplifies migration from obsolete PALs. |
| Security fuse + 64-bit user signature | One-time programmable security fuse blocks unauthorized readback; 64-bit signature remains readable for traceability and version control. |
Applications
| Industrial Control Logic | Legacy System Glue Logic |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable logic device applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATF20V8B-10JI | Same architecture and speed grade, but rated for -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. | Required for operation in extended ambient environments such as factory-floor controllers or outdoor telemetry units. | Select ATF20V8B-10JI when thermal stress exceeds 70°C ambient or long-term reliability under thermal cycling is mandated. |
| ATF20V8BQ-10JC | Lower standby current (35 mA vs. 60–90 mA) due to optimized quiescent biasing; identical pinout and programming model. | Better suited for battery-powered or thermally constrained systems where active/idle power trade-offs dominate. | Choose ATF20V8BQ-10JC when system-level power budget limits total idle consumption below 50 mA. |
Compared with ATF20V8B-10JC, the ATF20V8B-10JI extends operating range without altering logic behavior or timing, while ATF20V8BQ-10JC reduces ICC(standby) by >40% at same speed - both retain full JEDEC compatibility and require no design changes beyond part number substitution.

FAQ
What is the maximum pin-to-pin propagation delay specified for ATF20V8B-10JC?
The ATF20V8B-10JC has a maximum pin-to-pin propagation delay (tPD) of 10 ns, measured under commercial conditions (0°C to 70°C, VCC = 5V ±5%). This value applies to both input-to-output and feedback-to-output paths with all eight outputs switching, ensuring predictable timing for synchronous logic design and PAL emulation workflows.
Does ATF20V8B-10JC support in-system programming?
No, ATF20V8B-10JC does not support in-system programming (ISP). It requires standard PLD programmers that apply 12.5V VPP during programming/erasing operations. The device must be removed from the target board for reprogramming, consistent with its Flash-based architecture and JEDEC file compatibility requirements.
Can ATF20V8B-10JC emulate a 20R8 PAL device?
Yes, ATF20V8B-10JC fully emulates the 20R8 PAL in Registered Mode, supporting identical JEDEC programming files and pin-compatible functionality. Its eight macrocells, clocked register structure, and eight-product-term-per-output architecture match the 20R8 specification - confirmed in Atmel's functional logic diagrams and compiler mode tables.
What package type is used for ATF20V8B-10JC?
ATF20V8B-10JC uses the 28-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC-28, package code 28J), compliant with JEDEC MS-018 AB. This surface-mount package features gull-wing leads, 1.27 mm pitch, and a 12.45 mm × 12.45 mm body - compatible with standard reflow profiles and socket-based development.
Is ATF20V8B-10JC RoHS compliant?
Yes, ATF20V8B-10JC is RoHS compliant and qualifies as Pb/Halide-free. Atmel explicitly lists "Green Package Options (Pb/Halide-free/RoHS Compliant)" for the ATF20V8B family, and the -10JC suffix corresponds to the commercial-grade PLCC variant meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements.
