15 ns EE PLD — obsolete but still in the BOM
The Microchip ATF16V8B-15PC is an electrically erasable programmable logic device (EE PLD) from the 16V8 family, offering 8 macrocells with a 15 ns propagation delay. It operates on a 5V supply and comes in a 20-pin PDIP (0.300" body) through-hole package.
Speed grade and logic capacity
The 15 ns speed grade sets the maximum combinatorial delay from input to registered output — critical for bus-interface timing in legacy 5V systems. With 8 macrocells, this PLD handles small-scale glue logic, address decoding, or state-machine replacement for a handful of 74-series parts.
Obsolete — sourcing through the independent channel
The 20-PDIP package (0.300" row spacing) is a through-hole footprint compatible with legacy PCB layouts and socketed designs.
