GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PALLV16V8 is an advanced PAL device built with low-voltage, high-speed, electrically
CMOS technology. It is functionally compatible with all 20-pin GAL devices. The macro
provide a universal device architecture. The PALLV16V8 will directly replace the PAL16R8
exception of the PAL16C1.
The PALLV16V8Z provides zero standby power and high speed. At 30-
µ
A maximum sta
current, the PALLV16V8Z allows battery powered operation for an extended period.
The PALLV16V8 utilizes the familiar sum-of-products (AND/OR) architecture that allows
implement complex logic functions easily and efficiently. Multiple levels of combinatorial
always be reduced to sum-of-products form, taking advantage of the very wide input g
available in PAL devices. The equations are programmed into the device through floating-
in the AND logic array that can be erased electrically.
The fixed OR array allows up to eight data product terms per output for logic functions.
of these products feeds the output macrocell. Each macrocell can be programmed as reg
combinatorial with an active-high or active-low output. The output configuration is deter
two global bits and one local bit controlling four multiplexers in each macrocell.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The PALLV16V8 is a low-voltage, EE CMOS version of the PALCE16V8.
The PALLV16V8Z is a low-voltage, EE CMOS version of the PALCE16V8. In addition, the
PALLV16V8Z has zero standby power and an unused product term disable feature for re
power consumption.
The PALLV16V8 is a universal PAL device. It has eight independently configurable macr
(MC
0
-MC
7
). Each macrocell can be configured as registered output, combinatorial outpu
combinatorial I/O or dedicated input. The programming matrix implements a programm
logic array, which drives a fixed OR logic array. Buffers for device inputs have complem
outputs to provide user-programmable input signal polarity. Pins 1 and 11 serve either
inputs or as clock (CLK) and output enable (OE), respectively, for all flip-flops.
Unused input pins should be tied directly to V
CC
or GND. Product terms with all bits
unprogrammed (disconnected) assume the logical HIGH state and product terms with b
and complement of any input signal connected assume a logical LOW state.
The programmable functions on the PALLV16V8 are automatically configured from the
design specification. The design specification is processed by development software to
design and create a programming file. This file, once downloaded to a programmer, confi
device according to the user’s desired function.

Registered Output Configuration
The control bit settings are SG0 = 0, SG1 = 1 and SL0

The flip-flop is loaded on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLK. The
path is from Q on the register. The output buffer is enabled by OE.
Combinatorial Configurations
The PALLV16V8 has three combinatorial output configurations: dedicated output in a no
registered device, I/O in a non-registered device and I/O in a registered device.
Dedicated Output In a Non-Registered Device
The control bit settings are SG0 = 1, SG1 = 0 and SL0
x
=0. All eight product terms are av

Combinatorial I/O In a Non-Registered Device
The control bit settings are SG0 = 1, SG1 = 1, and SL0
x
=1. Only seven product terms are
to the OR gate. The eighth product term is used to enable the output buffer. The signal a
pin is fed back to the AND array via the feedback multiplexer. This allows the pin to be
an input.

Programmable Output Polarity
The polarity of each macrocell can be active-high or active-low, either to match output
needs or to reduce product terms. Programmable polarity allows Boolean expressions to b

It can also save “DeMorganizing” efforts.

is 0.
