Product details
Overview
ATF20V8B-10SI from Atmel is a high-performance, electrically-erasable programmable logic device (PLD) in 24-pin SOIC package, delivering 10 ns maximum pin-to-pin delay, 7.5 ns minimum propagation delay, and industrial temperature operation (-40°C to +85°C). It supports registered, complex, and simple PAL emulation modes with eight macrocells, each configurable as input, combinatorial I/O, or registered output - used in legacy system upgrades, glue logic replacement, and FPGA companion control logic.
For engineers reviewing the ATF20V8B-10SI datasheet, ATF20V8B-10SI pinout, ATF20V8B-10SI application, or ATF20V8B-10SI equivalent, key selection criteria include its Flash-based reprogrammability, 20-year data retention, 100 erase/write cycles, PCI compliance, and support for 5V ±10% supply across industrial conditions - critical for long-lifecycle industrial control and telecom infrastructure designs.
Technical Context
The ATF20V8B-10SI implements a universal architecture with eight macrocells, each allocated eight product terms in registered mode or seven plus one OE term in complex mode. Its Flash memory enables in-system reprogramming without UV erasure, and internal pull-up resistors ensure defined logic states on un-driven inputs/I/Os.
It operates in three software-configurable modes: Registered (emulates 20R8/20RP8), Complex (emulates 20L8/20H8), and Simple (emulates 14L8/16L6/18L4). Power-up reset guarantees registered outputs initialize to high state, supporting deterministic state machine startup under monotonic VCC ramp conditions.

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-10PI | Same speed grade and architecture, but in PDIP package (24P3) instead of SOIC (24S) | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board rework where SOIC footprint unavailable | Select when mechanical compatibility with existing DIP sockets or wave-solder processes is required |
| ATF20V8BQ-10JI | Lower standby current (35 mA vs. 60 mA) and active current (40 mA vs. 80 mA), same 10 ns speed and industrial temp range | Better suited for battery-backed or thermally constrained systems where power efficiency is prioritized over raw density | Choose when system-level power budget limits total PLD quiescent draw to <40 mA |
Compared with ATF20V8B-10PI, the ATF20V8B-10SI offers superior board-space efficiency and reflow compatibility; compared with ATF20V8BQ-10JI, it trades higher active power for broader legacy toolchain support and wider availability in industrial-grade SOIC.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by ATF20V8B-10SI in registered mode?
The ATF20V8B-10SI supports up to 68 MHz in external feedback configuration (1/(tS + tCO)), 74 MHz in internal feedback (1/(tS + tCF)), and 83 MHz in no-feedback mode (1/tP), all verified at industrial temperature and 5V ±10%. These frequencies reflect worst-case timing across the full operating range and are directly usable in clock domain planning for the ATF20V8B-10SI without derating.
Does ATF20V8B-10SI require external pull-up resistors on input or I/O pins?
No, the ATF20V8B-10SI includes internal weak pull-up resistors on all inputs and I/Os, ensuring defined logic-high states when pins are left un-driven. This eliminates the need for external pull-ups in most applications, reducing bill-of-materials cost and PCB real estate - a confirmed feature documented in the "Input and I/O Pull-ups" section of the ATF20V8B-10SI datasheet.
Can ATF20V8B-10SI be programmed using standard PLD programmers?
Yes, the ATF20V8B-10SI is compatible with industry-standard PLD programmers that support Atmel's Flash programming algorithm, including Data I/O PS-200, BP Microsystems Model 2000, and Xeltek SuperPRO series. Programming voltage is 12.5V applied to VCC during programming, and JEDEC files generated by ABEL, CUPL, or OrCAD-PLD tools are fully supported for the ATF20V8B-10SI.
Is ATF20V8B-10SI RoHS compliant?
Yes, the ATF20V8B-10SI is offered in green package options compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU (Pb/Halide-free), as confirmed in the "ATF20V8B Green Package Options" section of the official datasheet. The SOIC (24S) variant carries the -10SI suffix and meets all substance restrictions without exemption claims.
What happens to registered outputs on power-up in ATF20V8B-10SI?
On power-up, the ATF20V8B-10SI performs an asynchronous reset that forces all registered outputs to the high state after VCC crosses VRST (3.8–4.5 V), provided the supply ramp is monotonic and setup times are met before first clock edge. This behavior is guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range and is a core architectural feature of the ATF20V8B-10SI, enabling reliable state machine initialization without external reset circuitry.
