The PEEL173P-30 is a Programmable Electrically Erasable Logic (PEEL) device manufactured by ICT. It offers a flexible and cost-effective solution for implementing a wide variety of custom logic functions. This device provides an alternative to traditional TTL logic, allowing designers to integrate multiple logic gates into a single chip, thus reducing board space, component count, and power consumption. The '-30' likely indicates a propagation delay of 30ns.

Applications

• Address decoding: Used in memory systems to select specific memory locations.
• Peripheral control: Employed in interfacing microprocessors with peripheral devices like sensors, actuators, and displays.
• State machines: Implemented for controlling sequential logic operations in digital systems.
• Glue logic: Acts as an interface between different digital components with incompatible signal levels or timing requirements.
• Timing control: Used in generating and managing timing signals for various digital circuits.

Features

• Electrically Erasable: Allows for easy reprogramming and design changes.
• Programmable Logic: Offers a flexible architecture for implementing various logic functions.
• Low Power Consumption: Reduces overall system power requirements.
• High Speed: Operates at speeds suitable for a wide range of applications (30ns propagation delay in this instance).
• TTL Compatible Inputs/Outputs: Enables seamless integration with other TTL devices.

Benefits

• Reduced Board Space: Integrates multiple logic functions into a single chip.
• Simplified Design: Simplifies circuit design and reduces the number of components.
• Improved Reliability: Reduces the number of interconnections, leading to improved reliability.
• Lower Power Consumption: Minimizes power consumption compared to discrete logic implementations.
• Faster Time to Market: Allows for quick prototyping and design changes.

The PEEL173P-30 is typically packaged in a DIP (Dual In-line Package) or PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) for easy insertion into circuit boards. It is programmed using a standard PROM programmer. This device is well-suited for applications requiring moderate speed and flexibility in a cost-effective package.
