The ATF16V8C-7SC is a 5V EE PLD from Microchip's 16V8 family, offering a 7.5 ns propagation delay and 8 macrocells in a 20-SOIC surface-mount package.
Obsolete — sourcing through the surplus channel
Microchip lists the ATF16V8C-7SC as Obsolete. For production BOMs that still call out this exact speed grade and package, the supply path runs through independent distribution — sealed reels with consistent date-codes from factory excess or end-of-life buyouts.
8 macrocells — fitting the glue-logic budget
Eight macrocells can each be configured as registered or combinatorial outputs. The 5V-only supply simplifies integration into legacy 5V backplanes and industrial control cards.
20-SOIC footprint — board-space and layout constraints
The 20-SOIC package with 0.295-inch (7.50 mm) body width is the wider variant — distinct from the narrow SOIC-20. Confirm the footprint matches the existing PCB land pattern.
