10 ns PLD for legacy glue-logic — what the speed grade buys you
The ATF16V8B-10PC is a 10 ns electrically erasable PLD from Microchip's 16V8 series, packing 8 macrocells in a 20-pin DIP package that runs on a single 5V supply. The 10 ns propagation delay means combinatorial outputs settle within 10 ns of the input transition.
Through-hole DIP: rework-friendly, pinout-clear
The 20-pin DIP (0.300" width) is a through-hole package — the leads are easy to probe, the pin 1 notch is unambiguous, and the part survives multiple hot-air cycles without pad lift if you keep the nozzle at 300°C and preheat the board to 100°C. The 5V-only supply means no level translation on the I/O banks, but it also means this part won't drop into a 3.3V or 1.8V core logic board without a regulator and level shifters.
No official replacement part is recorded on the lifecycle notice; the closest functional match is a pin-compatible 16V8 variant (e.g., ATF16V8B-10PU), but these may also face obsolescence or differ in speed grade.
