Programmable Logic IC--SPLD/CPLD

Atmel Factory Programming
Customers who purchase significant quantities may choose to have their PLDs preprogrammed and/or custom marked at the Atmel factory for a nominal charge. Contact your authorized for details.

Proprietary CPLDs
Atmel also offers the ATF750C/CL and ATF2500C CPLDs. The ATF750C has twice the logic of a standard 22V10 in a pin-out compatible 24- or 28-pin package. The ATF750C is ideal for those 22V10 designs that need a bit more logic than is offered in a 22V10 device, but need to maintain the 22V10 pin-out. The ATF2500C introduced in April 2003 is a very high-density (2500 usable gates) 44-pin CPLD, ideally suitable for the most difficult 44-pin designs. The ATF2500C (electrically erasable) replaced the ATV2500B/BQ/BQL/BL in commercial, industrial and military temperature grade offerings.

Converting an Altera EPM7000 series design is easy with Atmel's push button POF2JED software utility that will generate an industry standard JEDEC programming file from an Altera POF file. The POF2JED software is available at no charge, .

The Logic Doubling features of the ATF15xx family make these products ideal for new designs. The ATF15xx family offers the most powerful switch matrix and routing resources of any CPLD while also supporting multiple independent feedbacks, individual output enable, global clear and D/T/latch configurable flip-flops. More global clock pins, a programmable pin-keeper and the ability to realize two latches per macrocell are further examples of the enhanced features available from this CPLD product family.

The ATF15xxAS/ASL/ASV/ASVL CPLD family offers pin-compatible supersets of the popular Altera 7000 and 3000 series devices ranging from 32 to 128 macrocells with propagation delays from 7.5 to 15 ns for 5V standard power versions and 15 ns for 3.3V versions. Atmel's proprietary low-power ("L") versions use Input Transition Detection (ITD) to power down the device automatically when nothing is switching. All devices also support JTAG in-system programming (ISP).

Atmel CPLDs: Industry Compatible
The is the latest offering from Atmel and is recommended for new designs and applications that require Ultra low power, blazing speed (5ns) and operate at 1.8V. Atmel offers small form fit packages that are ROHS compliant. The ATF15xxBE family is a pin compatible replacement for Xilinx CPLDs.

Atmel SPLDs: Industry Standard
Atmel's SPLD products consist of industry standard 16V8, 20V8 and 22V10s in a variety of voltage and power-saving options. Atmel offers low-voltage, zero-power and quarter power versions as well as our proprietary "L" automatic power down low-power devices including the Battery Friendly ATF22LV10CQZ. All popular packages are supported in addition to the Atmel-only, TSSOP package -- the smallest package offered for any SPLD device. All versions are EE-based for high-reliability and easy re-programming and are supported by all popular third party programmers.

Atmel's EPLD product line comprises of two major categories: Simple and the higher density Complex Programmable Logic Devices (SPLDs and CPLDs).
