Manufacturer Description
The Cypress Semiconductor PALC16R8 is a high-performance, electrically programmable CMOS Programmable Logic Device (PLD). Utilizing a proprietary N-well CMOS EPROM process, the PALC16R8 offers a superior alternative to traditional bipolar PALs by providing lower power consumption and significantly higher reliability. This device features a sum-of-products (AND-OR) structure that allows users to implement custom logic functions. Unlike one-time-programmable alternatives, the CMOS EPROM technology enables full functional testing and AC/DC characterization by the manufacturer, ensuring extremely high programming yields and field stability.
Technical Specifications
- Device Type: Registered PLD (Programmable Logic Device)
- Macrocells: 8 Registered Outputs (Inverting)
- Technology: Reprogrammable CMOS EPROM
- Propagation Delay (tPD): 20ns / 25ns / 35ns (Depending on specific suffix)
- Supply Current (Icc): 45mA (Commercial) / 70mA (Military)
- Package Options: 20-pin Plastic/Ceramic DIP, SOJ, or LCC
- Input Protection: >1500V electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection
- Value-Add: Features "Security Footprint" capability to prevent unauthorized pattern duplication and register preload for simplified system testing.
System Compatibility
The PALC16R8 is a pin-for-pin functional replacement for standard 16R8 bipolar PALs and is compatible with most universal PLD programmers, including:
- Data I/O 2900 / Unisite
- BP Microsystems Universal Programmers
- Vintage Logical Devices / Stag Programmers
- Standard TTL-level logic environments (5V Vcc)
Applications
Ideal for legacy system maintenance and specialized logic design:
- Legacy Industrial Control: Replacing obsolete logic in CNC controllers and PLC modules.
- Medical Computing: Maintenance of late-80s and 90s era diagnostic imaging backplanes.
- State Machine Implementation: Efficient handling of complex sequential logic and timing control.
- Glue Logic: Interfacing modern components with legacy 8-bit or 16-bit bus architectures.
