GAL16V8: High-Performance CMOS PLD at 35 ns

Introduction

The GAL16V8 is a high-performance CMOS programmable logic device (PLD) developed by Lattice Technology. It features a maximum propagation delay time of 35 ns, making it suitable for a wide range of applications requiring fast logic processing.

CMOS Process and Features

The GAL16V8 utilizes an advanced CMOS process that delivers high speed and low power consumption. It offers 16 macrocells, each of which can be programmed to implement a wide range of logic functions. The device also includes additional features such as programmable output polarity, registered and combinatorial inputs, and programmable clocking schemes.

Generic Array Logic (GAL)

The GAL16V8 is part of the GAL family of PLDs, which are known for their versatility and ease of use. GALs allow designers to create custom logic circuits without the need for complex hardware development or dedicated field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).
