PALCE16V8H-10

The PALCE16V8H-10 is an advanced Programmable Array Logic (PAL) device manufactured by PALCE, built with low-power, high-speed, electrically erasable CMOS technology. It is functionally compatible with all 20-pin GAL devices and offers a 5-ns propagation delay for the '-5' version. The device utilizes a sum-of-products (AND/OR) architecture, allowing users to implement complex logic functions efficiently. The macrocells can be programmed as registered or combinatorial outputs with active-high or active-low configurations.

The PALCE16V8H-10 is designed for easy integration and can directly replace PAL16R8 devices, excluding the PAL16C1. The programming matrix implements a programmable AND logic array driving a fixed OR logic array. Buffers for device inputs have complementary outputs for user-programmable input signal polarity. Unused input pins should be tied directly to VCC or GND to ensure proper operation. The device is configured using a JEDEC file generated by development software.

This PAL device is suitable for applications requiring flexible logic implementation. Its electrically erasable CMOS technology ensures reconfigurable logic and full testability. The high-speed CMOS technology makes it a direct plug-in replacement for older PAL devices, simplifying upgrades and redesigns.
