ATF16LV8C-10JC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ATF16LV8C-10JC is a 16V8 Programmable Logic Device (PLD) IC manufactured by Microchip Technology, featuring 8 macrocells with 10 ns propagation delay in a 20-PLCC surface mount package. This device is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

The ATF16LV8C-10JC operates across a 3V to 5.5V input voltage range and is designed for applications requiring programmable logic functionality in compact form factors. Due to its obsolete status and non-RoHS compliance, sourcing equivalent active alternatives is necessary for new designs and legacy system maintenance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ATF16LV8C-10JC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Macrocell Count: 8 macrocells (functional logic capacity)
• Propagation Delay: 10 ns (timing performance)
• Input Voltage Range: 3V ~ 5.5V (electrical compatibility)
• Package Type: 20-PLCC (9x9) surface mount (physical and mechanical compatibility)
• Programmable Type: EE PLD (electrically erasable programmable logic device)
• Manufacturer: Microchip Technology (design and programming compatibility)

The identified substitute part maintains identical electrical specifications, package geometry, and programmable characteristics. The primary distinction lies in product status and compliance certifications, which affect availability and suitability for new versus legacy applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ATF16LV8C-10JU serves as the direct functional equivalent to the ATF16LV8C-10JC, with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts depends on application requirements and regulatory constraints:

For New Designs and RoHS-Compliant Applications: The ATF16LV8C-10JU is the appropriate choice. It maintains active product status with Microchip Technology, ensuring ongoing availability and support. ROHS3 compliance satisfies modern procurement and environmental regulations.

For Legacy System Maintenance: The ATF16LV8C-10JC remains functionally equivalent for existing installations where RoHS compliance is not mandated. However, sourcing may be constrained due to obsolete status.

Packaging Consideration: The ATF16LV8C-10JU is supplied in tube packaging, whereas the ATF16LV8C-10JC packaging format is not specified. Both devices use identical 20-PLCC (9x9) surface mount packages suitable for automated assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ATF16LV8C-10JU directly replace the ATF16LV8C-10JC in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both devices are electrically and mechanically identical across all critical parameters: 8 macrocells, 10 ns speed, 3V–5.5V input voltage range, and 20-PLCC package. Programming and functional behavior are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the -JC and -JU suffix difference?

A: The suffix indicates packaging format. The -JC variant uses a non-specified packaging format, while the -JU variant uses tube packaging. The electrical and functional specifications remain identical.

Q: Why is the ATF16LV8C-10JC listed as obsolete?

A: Microchip Technology has discontinued active production and support for this part number. The ATF16LV8C-10JU represents the current active equivalent, ensuring long-term availability and compliance with modern standards.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The ATF16LV8C-10JU is ROHS3 compliant, while the ATF16LV8C-10JC is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the ATF16LV8C-10JU is mandatory.

Q: Will programming tools and software work with both parts?

A: Yes. Both devices use identical EE PLD (electrically erasable programmable logic device) technology within the 16V8 series. Existing design files and programming procedures are directly compatible.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 2 with a 1-year floor life. Standard moisture control procedures during storage and handling apply to both variants.
