GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PALCE16V8 is an advanced PAL device built with low-power, high-speed, electrically-erasable CMOS technology. It is functionally compatible with all 20-pin GAL devices. The macrocells provide a universal device architecture. The PALCE16V8 will directly replace the PAL16R8 and PAL10H8 series devices, with the exception of the PAL16C1.

DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
■ Pin and function compatible with all 20-pin GAL devices

   — 5-ns propagation delay for “-5” version
   — 7.5-ns propagation delay for “-7” version
■ Direct plug-in replacement for the PAL16R8
   series and most of the PAL10H8 series
■ Outputs programmable as registered or
   combinatorial in any combination
■ Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) compliant
■ Programmable output polarity
■ Programmable enable/disable control
■ Preloadable output registers for testability
■ Automatic register reset on power up
■ Cost-effective 20-pin plastic DIP, PLCC, and SOIC packages
■ Extensive third-party software and programmer
   support through FusionPLD partners
■ Fully tested for 100% programming and
   functional yields and high reliability
■ 5 ns version utilizes a split leadframe for
   improved performance
