Description

The ATF1516AS is a high performance, high density Com-

plex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) which utilizes

Atmel’s proven electrically erasable technology. With 256

logic macrocells and up to 164 inputs, it easily integrates

logic from several TTL, SSI, MSI, LSI and classic PLDs.

The ATF1516AS’s enhanced routing switch matrices

increase usable gate count, and increase odds of success-

ful pin-locked design modifications.

The ATF1516AS has up to 160 bi-directional I/O pins and 4

dedicated input pins, depending on the type of device pack-

age selected. Each dedicated pin can also serve as a glo-

bal control signal; register clock, register reset or output

enable. Each of these control signals can be selected for

use individually within each macrocell.

Each of the 256 macrocells generates a buried feedback,

which goes to the global bus. Each input and I/O pin also

feeds into the global bus. The switch matrix in each logic

block then selects 40 individual signals from the global bus.

Each macrocell also generates a foldback logic term, which

goes to a regional bus. Cascade logic between macrocells

in the ATF1516AS allows fast, efficient generation of com-

plex logic functions. The ATF1516AS contains eight such

logic chains, each capable of creating sum term logic with a

fan in of up to 40 product terms

The ATF1516AS macrocell, shown in Figure 1, is flexible

enough to support highly complex logic functions operating

at high speed. The macrocell consists of five sections:

product terms and product term select multiplexer;

OR/XOR/CASCADE logic; a flip-flop; output select and

enable; and logic array inputs.

Unused Macrocells are automatically disabled by the com-

piler to decrease power consumption. A Security Fuse,

when programmed, protects the contents of the

ATF1516AS. Two bytes (16 bits) of User Signature are

accessible to the user for purposes such as storing project

name, part number, revision or date. The User Signature is

accessible regardless of the state of the Security Fuse.

The ATF1516AS device is an In-System Programmable

(ISP) device. It uses the industry standard 4-pin JTAG

interface (IEEE Std. 1149.1), and is fully compliant with

JTAG’s Boundary Scan Description Language (BSDL). ISP

allows the device to be programmed without removing it

from the printed circuit board. In addition to simplifying the

manufacturing flow, ISP also allows design modifications to

be made in the field via software.
