7.5 ns — the timing budget for this 20-pin PLD
The Microchip ATF16V8C-7PU is an EE PLD from the 16V8 family with 8 macrocells in a 20-pin DIP. Its 7.5 ns propagation delay sets the ceiling for combinatorial logic paths. The 5V-only I/O mates directly with legacy TTL and 5V CMOS buses.
8 macrocells and a 5V rail — what fits, what does not
Eight macrocells can be configured as registered flip-flops or product-term-wide combinatorial functions. The 20-DIP footprint (0.300-inch row spacing) is a through-hole package. The 5V supply rail is non-negotiable.
The 20-DIP through-hole package keeps it compatible with existing socketed boards and legacy designs that cannot migrate to surface-mount.
