Its 7.5 ns propagation delay sets the maximum combinatorial path the logic can close without pipeline registers — at 5V supply, this translates to a typical operating frequency around 100 MHz for registered paths, though the actual Fmax depends on the macrocell configuration and routing. The 8 macrocells provide the logic capacity for address decoding, bus arbitration, state machines, or simple glue logic consolidation. ## 20-PLCC J-lead — footprint and reflow Housed in a 20-lead PLCC (J-Lead) package, the ATF16V8C-7JU occupies a 9x9 mm body footprint. The J-lead form factor requires a PLCC-specific land pattern — the solder joint is under the package body, so visual inspection of the heel fillet is limited. Reflow profile should follow JEDEC J-STD-020 for the PLCC package; the J-lead has a lower coplanarity tolerance than gull-wing, so the stencil aperture and paste volume must be controlled to avoid opens. The 5V supply rail is the only power input — no core or I/O split. Microchip lists the ATF16V8C-7JU as Active. For a BOM line using this PLD, the supply risk is low — it remains a current catalog item, not a legacy part being phased out.","metaTitle":"Microchip ATF16V8C-7JU EE PLD, 7.5 ns, 8 Macrocells, 20-PLCC","metaDescription":"Microchip ATF16V8C-7JU high-performance EE PLD with 7.5 ns propagation delay, 8 macrocells, 5V supply, 20-PLCC package.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["FPGA / CPLD & Programmable Logic"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Microchip Technology","Speed":"7.5 ns","Series":"16V8","Package":"Tube","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"20-LCC (J-Lead)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage - Input":"5V","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Programmable Type":"EE PLD","Base Product Number":"ATF16V8","Number of Macrocells":"8","Supplier Device Package":"20-PLCC (9x9)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$3.1500","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/7daeacdf2c8da6a7020962928d2f0e6a.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/ATF16V8C-7JU/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is the ATF16V8C-7JU compatible with the ATF16V8B?","answer":"The ATF16V8C and ATF16V8B are both 16V8-architecture EE PLDs from Microchip. The C-series typically offers a faster propagation delay — the ATF16V8C-7JU is rated at 7.5 ns, while the B-series commonly runs at 10 ns or slower. Both are pin-compatible in the same 20-PLCC footprint, but the programming algorithm and Jedec file may differ; verify with the respective datasheets before substituting in a programmed socket."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/microchip/ATF16V8C-7JU","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/microchip/ATF16V8C-7JU when reusing this data.
