ATF16V8C-7JC

ATF16V8C-7JC is an embedded PLD (Programmable Logic Device). It is a 16 macrocell PLD with multiple outputs. It is designed with non- volatile Flash memory technology and can store up to 32 programmable logic functions. The PLD also includes the standard / low voltage pinning option, which is useful for applications where multiple voltage domains are used. ATF16V8C-7JC PLDs feature a single 5V or 3.3V power supply and offer automatic power-on reset circuitry. In addition, they are reliable, cost effective and easy to use.

Application Field

ATF16V8C-7JC PLDs are used in a variety of applications including embedded control, communication, networking, industrial, automotive and consumer electronics. In embedded control applications, the PLD is often used as a cost-effective alternative to the more expensive CPU. It reduces the complexity of the system design, provides flexibility, and simplifies software development. PLDs are also used in communication and networking applications to control protocol stacks, filters and various communication parameters. They are commonly used in automotive applications such as powering airbags and fuel injection systems. They are also used in consumer electronics such as mobile devices, gaming consoles and multimedia devices.

Working Principle

ATF16V8C-7JC PLDs use logic cells to implement logic functions. Logic cells are composed of multiple logic gates that can be interconnected to create logic circuits. Logic functions such as AND, OR, NOT and XOR can be implemented with a few logic gates. Logic gates are arranged in a circuit configuration known as a sum of terms (SOP) and can be programmed to realize any desired function. Programmable logic devices are particularly useful in applications that require the integration of multiple functions.

The logic cells of a PLD are implemented using non-volatile memory technology, which allows them to be programmed quickly and easily. Programmers must write the logic configuration in HDL (hardware descriptive language), for example VHDL or Verilog, and compile it into a logic device programming file. This programming file is uploaded to the device through a serial connection. Once the file is loaded, the PLD is programmed and can be used to implement logic functions.

ATF16V8C-7JC PLDs are powerful and flexible, allowing for a wide range of applications from simple digital control to complex communications protocols. Their ease of use, low power consumption, and cost effectiveness make them a great choice for any embedded application.
