The 5 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay means it can handle address decoding or state-machine logic at clock rates up to about 200 MHz without adding wait states — a fit for fast SRAM or processor bus interfaces where every nanosecond of decode latency eats into setup margin. ## Obsolete — planning the replacement path Microchip lists the ATF16V8C-5JC as obsolete. For sustainment of existing boards, the surplus and broker channel is the only supply route — expect to qualify parts against date code and handling history. For new designs, the 16V8 family has been superseded by a pin-compatible series offering similar speed grades; confirm the exact speed bin and programming algorithm compatibility before substituting. ## 20-PLCC footprint and rework notes The 20-PLCC (J-Lead) package measures 9x9 mm and requires a soldering profile with a peak temperature around 245 °C for lead-free assemblies. The J-lead form factor is less tolerant of board flex than gull-wing leads; ensure the PCB pad geometry matches the PLCC-20 land pattern with a 0.050-inch pitch. A hot-air rework station with a PLCC nozzle is the standard removal tool — avoid prying the body off, which lifts pads. ## 5V supply rail and I/O compatibility The device operates from a 5V supply. All I/O pins are 5V-tolerant, but the outputs swing rail-to-rail. When interfacing with 3.3V logic, a series resistor or level shifter is needed on the output side to avoid overvoltage on the downstream input. The 5V rail also sets the programming voltage — most universal programmers handle the ATF16V8C with a 5V Vcc algorithm.","metaTitle":"ATF16V8C-5JC EE PLD, 5 ns, 8 Macrocells, 20-PLCC, Obsolete","metaDescription":"Microchip ATF16V8C-5JC EE PLD, 5 ns propagation delay, 8 macrocells, 5V supply, 20-PLCC package.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["FPGA / CPLD & Programmable Logic"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Microchip Technology","Speed":"5 ns","Series":"16V8","Package":"Tube","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"20-LCC (J-Lead)","Product Status":"Obsolete","Voltage - Input":"5V","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Programmable Type":"EE PLD","Base Product Number":"ATF16V8C","Number of Macrocells":"8","Supplier Device Package":"20-PLCC (9x9)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/7daeacdf2c8da6a7020962928d2f0e6a.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/ATF16V8C-5JC/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is ATF16V8C-5JC obsolete?","answer":"Yes, Microchip lists the ATF16V8C-5JC as obsolete."},{"question":"How many macrocells does ATF16V8C-5JC have?","answer":"The ATF16V8C-5JC has 8 macrocells."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/microchip/ATF16V8C-5JC","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/microchip/ATF16V8C-5JC when reusing this data.
