The GAL16V8A-15LVI: This is a PAL-type EEPLD with a 15 ns propagation delay — the speed grade that governs the maximum clock frequency in registered mode and the combinatorial path delay in asynchronous logic. For a 15 ns part, the registered toggle rate ceiling is roughly 66 MHz, assuming setup/hold margins are met.
RoHS compliance and supply chain fit
The GAL16V8A-15LVI is marked RoHS non-compliant. This matters for BOM lines that must meet EU RoHS or similar restricted-substance directives — the part contains lead in the solder finish or die-attach. For designs with a RoHS exemption (e.g., military, aerospace, or high-reliability industrial) this is not a blocker; for commercial RoHS-mandated builds, a compliant alternative or an exemption letter is needed. Packaged in Bulk — typically tubes or trays, not tape-and-reel. This suits low-to-medium volume assembly or prototyping but may require a feeder change for high-speed pick-and-place lines that expect embossed tape.
