The GAL16V8D-QPN is a Generic Array Logic (GAL) device manufactured by Lattice Semiconductor Corporation. It is a programmable logic device (PLD) that can be configured to implement a variety of digital logic functions.

Applications

• Address decoding.
• State machines.
• Glue logic.
• Custom logic functions.

Features

• Electrically Erasable and Reprogrammable.
• Low Power CMOS.
• Fast Propagation Delay.
• Eight Output Logic Macrocells (OLMCs).

Benefits

• Flexibility in design and prototyping.
• Easy to reprogram and update logic functions.
• Reduces component count and board space.
• Offers a cost-effective solution for custom logic.

The GAL16V8D-QPN features eight output logic macrocells (OLMCs), each of which can be configured as an output, input, or a combination of both. The 'D' in the part number indicates a specific speed grade. The device is programmed using a standard programmer. Key specifications include propagation delay, supply current, and operating temperature range. The QPN suffix usually defines the package type; in this case, it refers to a plastic DIP (dual in-line package). It’s suitable for implementing various combinatorial and sequential logic functions in a wide range of digital systems. It can be erased and reprogrammed multiple times, making it ideal for prototyping and iterative design processes.
