Sourcing a legacy PLD — lifecycle and availability
Lattice Semiconductor has marked the GAL22V10D-15QPN as Obsolete. Because the manufacturer no longer produces this exact order code, sourcing runs through independent distribution channels that hold new-old-stock or verified surplus inventory.
Parametric fit for existing designs
The GAL22V10D-15QPN is an electrically erasable PLD (EE PLD) in the GAL®22V10 series. It integrates 10 macrocells with a maximum propagation delay (tpd) of 15 ns — the combinatorial path from input to registered output settles within that window, which sets the upper bound on the clock frequency the device can support in a given logic path. Operating temperature is 0°C to 75°C, the commercial-grade band; this part was not specified for industrial or automotive ambient ranges. The 0.100" pitch and standard DIP footprint make it a drop-in replacement for existing socketed or wave-soldered GAL22V10 designs — no board layout change is needed to swap this specific order code.
