General Descri p ti on
The PEEL™18CV8Z is a Programmable Electrically Erasable
Logic (PEEL™) SPLD (Simple Programmable Logic Device)
that features ultra-low, automatic “zero” power-down operation.
The “zero power” (100 µA max. Icc) power-down mode makes
the PEEL™18CV8Z ideal for a broad range of battery-powered
portable equipment applications, from hand-held meters to PCMCIA modems. EE-reprogrammability provides both the convenience of fast reprogramming for product development and quick
product personalization in manufacturing, including Engineering

20 Pin DIP/SOIC/TSSOP and PL CC
The PEEL™18CV8Z is logically and functionally similar to
ICT’s 5 Volt PEEL™18CV8 and 3 Volt PEEL™18LV8Z. The
differences between the PEEL™18CV8Z and PEEL™18CV8
include the addition of programmable clock polarity, a product
term clock, and variable width product terms in the AND/OR
Logic Array.
Like the PEEL™18CV8, the PEEL™18CV8Z is logical superset
of the industry standard PAL16V8 SPLD. The PEEL™18CV8Z
provides additional architectural features that allow more logic to
be incorporated into the design. ICT’s JEDEC file translator
allows easy conversion of existing 20 pin PLD designs to the
PEEL™18CV8Z architecture without the need for redesign. The
PEEL™18CV8Z architecture allows it to replace over twenty
standard 20-pin DIP, SOIC, TSSOP and PLCC packages.

PEELTM 18CV8Z-25
Function Description
The PEEL™18CV8Z implements logic functions as sum-ofproducts expressions in a programmable-AND/fixed-OR logic
array. User-defined functions are created by programming the
connections of input signals into the array. User-configurable
output structures in the form of I/O macrocells further increase
logic flexibility.
Architecture Overview
The PEEL™18CV8Z architecture is illustrated in the block diagram of Figure 8. Ten dedicated inputs and 8 I/Os provide up to
18 inputs and 8 outputs for creation of logic functions. At the
core of the device is a programmable electrically-erasable AND
array that drives a fixed OR array. With this structure, the
PEEL™18CV8Z can implement up to eight sum-of-products
logic expressions.
Associated with each of the eight OR functions is an I/O macrocell that can be independently programmed to one of 12 different
configurations. The programmable macrocells allow each I/O to
be used to create sequential or combinatorial logic functions of
active-high or active-low polarity, while providing three different
feedback paths into the AND array.
AND/OR Logic Array
The programmable AND array of the PEEL™1 8CV8Z (sh own in
Figure 9) is formed by input lines intersecting product terms. The
input lines and product terms are used as follows:
■
36 Input Lines:
– 20 input lines carry the true and complement of the signals
applied to the 10 input pins
– 16 additional lines carry the true and complement values of
feedback or input signals from the 8 I/Os
effect on the output function).
Variable Product Term Distribution
The PEEL™18CV8Z provides 113 product terms to drive the
eight OR functions. These product terms are distributed among
the outputs in groups of 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 to form l ogical s ums
(see Figure 9). This distribution allows optimum use of the
device resources.
Programmable I/O Macrocell
The unique twelve-configuration output macrocell prov ides complete control over the architecture of each output. The ability to
configure each output independently lets you to tailor the configuration of the PEEL™18CV8Z to the precise requirements of
your design.
Macrocell Architecture
Each I/O macrocell, as shown in Figure 9, consists of a D-type
flip-flop and two signal-select multiplexers. The co nfiguration of
each macrocell is determined by the four EEPROM bits controlling these multiplexers. These bits determine output polarity, output type (registered or non-registered) and input-feedback path
(bidirectional I/O, combinatorial feedback). Refer to Table 1 for
details.
Equivalent circuits for the twelve macrocell configurations are
illustrated in Figure 11. In addition to emulating the four PALtype output structures (configurations 3, 4, 9, and 10), the macrocell provides eight additional configurations. When creating a
PEEL™ device design, the desired macrocell configuration is
generally specified explicitly in the design file. When the desi gn
is assembled or compiled, the macrocell configuration bits are
defined in the last lines of the JEDEC programming file.
■
113 product terms:
102 product terms are used to form sum of product functions
–
– 8 output enable terms (one for each I/O)
– 1 global synchronous pr eset term
– 1 global asynchronous clear term
– 1 programmable clock term
At each input-line/product-term intersection, there is an
EEPROM memory cell that determines whether or not there is a
logical connection at that intersection. Each product term is
essentially a 36-input AND gate. A product term that is connected to both the true and complement of an input signal will
always be FALSE and thus will not affect the OR function that it
drives. When all the connections on a product term are opened, a
“don’t care” state exists and that term will always be TRUE.
When programming the PEEL™18CV8Z, the device programmer first performs a bulk erase to remove the previous pattern.
The erase cycle opens every logical connection in the array. The
device is configured to perform the user-defined function by programming selected connections in the AND array. (Note that
PEEL™ device programmers automatically program all of the
connections on unused product terms so that they will have no
Output Type
The signal from the OR array can b e fed directly to th e ou tput pin
(combinatorial function) or latched in the D-type flip-flop (registered function). The D-type flip-flop latches data on the rising
edge of the clock and is controlled by the global preset and clear
terms. When the synchronous preset term is satisfied, the Q output of the register is set HIGH at the next rising edge of the clock
input. Satisfying the asynchronous clear sets Q LOW, regardless
of the clock state. If both terms are satisfied simultaneously, the
clear will override the preset.
Output Polarity
Each macrocell can be configured to implement active-high or
active-low logic. Programmable polarity eliminates the need for
external inverters.
Output Enable
The output of each I/O macrocell can be enabled or disabled
under the control of its associated programmable output enable
product term. When the logical conditions programmed on the
output enable term are satisfied, the output signal is pro pagated to
