General Description
The PEEL™18CV8 is a Programmable Electrically Eras-
able Logic (PEEL™) device providing an attractive alterna-
tive to ordinary PLDs. The PEEL™18CV8 offers the
performance, flexibility, ease of design and production prac-
ticality needed by logic designers today.
The PEEL™18CV8 is available in 20-pin DIP PLCC, SOIC
,
and TSSOP packages with speeds ranging from 5ns to
25ns with power consumption as low as 37mA. EE-Repro-
grammability provides the convenience of instant repro-
gramming for development and reusable production
inventory minimizing the impact of programming changes
or errors. EE-Reprogrammability also improves factory test-
ability, thus assuring the highest quality possible.
The PEEL™18CV8 architecture allows it to replace over 20
standard 20-pin PLDs (PAL, GAL, EPLD etc.). It also pro-
vides additional architecture features so more logic can be
put into every design. ICT’s JEDEC file translator instantly
converts to the PEEL™18CV8 existing 20-pin PLDs without
the need to rework the existing design. Development and
programming support for the PEEL™18CV8 is provided by
popular third-party programmers and development soft-
ware. ICT also offers free PLACE development software
and a low-cost development system (PDS-3).

Function Description
The PEEL™18CV8 implements logic functions as sum-of-
products expressions in a programmable-AND/fixed-OR
logic array. User-defined functions are created by program-
ming the connections of input signals into the array. User-
configurable output structures in the form of I/O macrocells
further increase logic flexibility.
the AND array. (Note that PEEL™ device programmers
automatically program all of the connections on unused
product terms so that they will have no effect on the output
function).
Programmable I/O Macrocell
The unique twelve-configuration output macrocell provides
complete control over the architecture of each output. The
ability to configure each output independently permits
users to tailor the configuration of the PEEL™18CV8 to the
precise requirements of their designs.
Architecture Overview
The PEEL™18CV8 architecture is illustrated in the block
diagram of Figure 3. Ten dedicated inputs and 8 I/Os pro-
vide up to 18 inputs and 8 outputs for creation of logic func-
tions. At the core of the device is a programmable
electrically-erasable AND array which drives a fixed OR
array. With this structure, the PEEL™18CV8 can implement
up to 8 sum-of-products logic expressions.
Associated with each of the 8 OR functions is an I/O mac-
rocell which can be independently programmed to one of
12 different configurations. The programmable macrocells
allow each I/O to create sequential or combinatorial logic
functions of active-high or active-low polarity, while provid-
ing three different feedback paths into the AND array.
Macrocell Architecture
Each I/O macrocell, as shown in Figure 4, consists of a D-
type flip-flop and two signal-select multiplexers. The config-
uration of each macrocell is determined by the four
EEPROM bits controlling these multiplexers. These bits
determine output polarity, output type (registered or non-
registered) and input-feedback path (bidirectional I/O, com-
binatorial feedback). Refer to Table 1 for details.
Equivalent circuits for the twelve macrocell configurations
are illustrated in Figure 4. In addition to emulating the four
PAL-type output structures (configurations 3,4,9, and 10),
the macrocell provides eight additional configurations.
When creating a PEEL™ device design, the desired mac-
rocell configuration generally is specified explicitly in the
design file. When the design is assembled or compiled, the
macrocell configuration bits are defined in the last lines of
the JEDEC programming file.
AND/OR LOGIC ARRAY
The programmable AND array of the PEEL™18CV8
(shown in Figure 4) is formed by input lines intersecting
product terms. The input lines and product terms are used
as follows:
s
36 Input Lines:
- 20 input lines carry the true and complement of the
signals applied to the 10 input pins
- 16 additional lines carry the true and complement val-
ues of feedback or input signals from the 8 I/Os
74 product terms:
- 64 product terms (arranged in groups of 8) are used
to form sum of product functions
- 8 output enable terms (one for each I/O)
- 1 global synchronous preset term
- 1 global asynchronous clear term
Output Type
The signal from the OR array can be fed directly to the out-
put pin (combinatorial function) or latched in the D-type flip-
flop (registered function). The D-type flip-flop latches data
on the rising edge of the clock and is controlled by the glo-
bal preset and clear terms. When the synchronous preset
term is satisfied, the Q output of the register will be set
HIGH at the next rising edge of the clock input. Satisfying
the asynchronous clear will set Q LOW, regardless of the
clock state. If both terms are satisfied simultaneously, the
clear will override the preset.
s
At each input-line/product-term intersection, there is an
EEPROM memory cell that determines whether or not
there is a logical connection at that intersection. Each prod-
uct term is essentially a 36-input AND gate. A product term
that is connected to both the true and complement of an
input signal will always be FALSE and thus will not affect
the OR function that it drives. When all the connections on
a product term are opened, a “don’t care” state exists and
that term will always be TRUE.
When programming the PEEL™18CV8, the device pro-
grammer first performs a bulk erase to remove the previous
pattern. The erase cycle opens every logical connection in
the array. The device is configured to perform the user-
defined function by programming selected connections in
Output Polarity
Each macrocell can be configured to implement active-high
or active-low logic. Programmable polarity eliminates the
need for external inverters.
Output Enable
The output of each I/O macrocell can be enabled or dis-
abled under the control of its associated programmable out-
put enable product term. When the logical conditions
programmed on the output enable term are satisfied, the
output signal is propagated to the I/O pin. Otherwise, the
output buffer is switched into the high-impedance state.

Under the control of the output enable term, the I/O pin can
function as a dedicated input, a dedicated output, or a bi-
directional I/O. Opening every connection on the output
enable term will permanently enable the output buffer and
yield a dedicated output. Conversely, if every connection is
intact, the enable term will always be logically false and the
I/O will function as a dedicated input.
Registered Feedback
Feedback also can be taken from the register, regardless of
whether the output function is to be combinatorial or regis-
tered. When implementing a combinatorial output function,
registered feedback allows for the internal latching of states
without giving up the use of the external output.
Input/Feedback Select
The PEEL™18CV8 macrocell also provides control over
the feedback path. The input/feedback signal associated
with each I/O macrocell may be obtained from three differ-
ent locations; from the I/O input pin, from the Q output of
the flip-flop (registered feedback), or directly from the OR
gate (combinatorial feedback).
Design Security
The PEEL™18CV8 provides a special EEPROM security
bit that prevents unauthorized reading or copying of
designs programmed into the device. The security bit is set
by the PLD programmer, either at the conclusion of the pro-
gramming cycle or as a separate step, after the device has
been programmed. Once the security bit is set it is
impossible to verify (read) or program the PEEL™ until the
entire device has first been erased with the bulk-erase
function.
Bi-directional I/O
The input/feedback signal is taken from the I/O pin when
using the pin as a dedicated input or as a bi-directional I/O.
(Note that it is possible to create a registered output func-
tion with a bi-directional I/O.)
Programming Support
ICT’s JEDEC file translator allows easy conversion of exist-
ing 20 pin PLD designs to the PEEL™18CV8, without the
need for redesign. ICT supports a broad range of popular
third party design entry systems, including Data I/O
Synario and Abel, Logical Devices CUPL and others. ICT
also offers (for free) its proprietary PLACE software, an
easy-to-use entry level PC-based software development
system.
Programming support includes all the popular third party
programmers; Data I/O, Logical Devices, and numerous
others. ICT also provides a low cost development program-
mer system, the PDS-3.
Combinatorial Feedback
The signal-select multiplexer gives the macrocell the ability
to feedback the output of the OR gate, bypassing the output
buffer, regardless of whether the output function is regis-
tered or combinatorial. This feature allows the creation of
asynchronous latches, even when the output must be dis-
abled. (Refer to configurations 5,6,7 and 8 in Figure 4.)
