Product details

It is not available through the factory channel, and no official successor order code has been published for this exact configuration. For production or repair programs that require this exact part number, sourcing runs through independent distribution.

15 ns propagation delay — timing budget for glue logic

The 15 ns propagation delay is the pin-to-pin combinatorial delay through the PLD at 5 V supply and 25 °C. This sets the maximum clock rate for registered logic and the signal settling time for combinatorial decode paths. A replacement must match or beat this delay to avoid violating existing setup/hold margins on the board.

8 macrocells and 5 V supply — legacy logic density

Eight macrocells provide up to eight registered outputs or combinatorial logic terms — typical for address decoding, bus arbitration, or state-machine replacement in 5 V systems. The 5 V supply rail is fixed; this part does not operate at 3.3 V or lower. Any drop-in substitute must also be a 5 V device.

20-SOIC wide-body footprint — board-level constraint

This is not the same footprint as the narrow 20-SOIC (typically 0.208" / 5.30 mm body). A replacement must be offered in the wide-body SOIC-20 to fit the existing PCB layout without a board spin.

Frequently asked questions

Is ATF16V8B-15SC obsolete?

Yes, the ATF16V8B-15SC is listed as Obsolete. Microchip has discontinued this specific speed and package variant, and no direct factory replacement order code has been assigned.

What is the replacement for ATF16V8B-15SC?

A functionally equivalent replacement would need to match the 15 ns speed, 8 macrocells, 5 V supply, and wide-body 20-SOIC footprint. The ATF16V8B-15PU is a DIP-20 variant of the same die, but it is not pin-compatible with the SOIC footprint.

Is ATF16V8B-15SC equivalent to ATF16V8B-15PU?

The ATF16V8B-15PU uses the same 16V8 EE PLD architecture and 15 ns speed grade, but it is packaged in a PDIP-20, not the wide-body SOIC-20. The two are not footprint-compatible — the PU variant cannot be used as a drop-in replacement on a board designed for the SC package.

What are the specifications of ATF16V8B-15SC?

The ATF16V8B-15SC is an electrically erasable programmable logic device (EE PLD) from Microchip's 16V8 series. It is supplied in tube packaging.
