What the 25 ns tpd means for the logic path
The GAL16V8D-25LJNI is a 5V EE PLD from Lattice's GAL16V8 series, packing 8 macrocells in a 20-PLCC package. The 25 ns max propagation delay (tpd) sets the combinatorial logic ceiling — registered paths clock at rates below 40 MHz, while combinatorial decode must settle within that window before the downstream latch captures the result.
Lattice Semiconductor lists the GAL16V8D-25LJNI as Obsolete.
Temperature grade and supply rails
The internal supply range is 4.5V to 5.5V — a 5V rail with ±10% regulation keeps the core within spec.
20-PLCC footprint and board integration
Housed in a 20-lead PLCC (J-Lead) package, the GAL16V8D-25LJNI mates with standard 20-PLCC sockets or solders directly to the board. The 9x9 mm body and 1.27 mm pitch match the legacy PLCC footprint common on 1990s-era logic boards — a rework station with a hot-air nozzle and a J-lead tip handles removal without lifting pads.
