Zero standby power
CMOS versatile PAL devices
DESCRIPTION
The PLC18V8Z is a universal PAL device featuring high
performance and virtually zero-standby power for power sensitive
applications. They are reliable, user-configurable substitutes for
discrete TTL/CMOS logic. While compatible with TTL and HCT
logic, the PLC18V8Z can also replace HC logic over the V
of 4.5 to 5.5V .
The PLC18V8Z is a two-level logic element comprised of 10 inputs,
74 AND gates (product terms) and 8 output Macro cells.
Each output features an “Output Macro Cell” which can be
individually configured as a dedicated input, a combinatorial output,
or a registered output with internal feedback. As a result, the
PLC18V8Z is capable of emulating all common 20-pin PAL devices
to reduce documentation, inventory, and manufacturing costs.
A power-up reset function and a Register Preload function have
been incorporated in the PLC18V8Z architecture to facilitate state
machine design and testing.
With a standby current of less than 100µA and active power
consumption of 1.5mA/MHz, the PLC18V8Z is ideally suited for
power sensitive applications in battery operated/backed portable
instruments and computers.
The PLC18V8Z is also processed to industrial requirements for
operation over an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C
and supply voltage of 4.5V to 5.5V .

The Philips Semiconductors’ state-of-the-art Floating-Gate CMOS
EPROM process yields bipolar equivalent performance at less than
one-quarter the power consumption. The erasable nature of the
EPROM process enables Philips Semiconductors to functionally test

allows Philips Semiconductors to extensively stress test, as well as
ensure the threshold voltage of each individual EPROM cell. 100%
programming yield is subsequently guaranteed.

THE OUTPUT MACRO CELL (OMC)
The PLC18V8Z series devices have 8 individually programmable
Output Macro Cells. The 72 AND inputs (or product terms) from the
programmable AND array are connected to the 8 OMCs in groups of
9. Eight of the AND terms are dedicated to logic functions; the ninth
is for asynchronous direction control, which enables/disables the
respective bidirectional I/O pin. Two product terms are dedicated for
the Synchronous Preset and Asynchronous Reset functions.
Each OMC can be independently programmed via 16 architecture
control bits, AC1
each OMC has a programmable output polarity control bit (Xn). By
configuring the pair of architecture control bits according to the
configuration cell table, 4 different configurations may be
implemented. Note that the configuration cell is automatically
programmed based on the OMC configuration.

DESIGN SECURITY
The PLC18V8Z series devices have a programmable security fuse
that controls the access to the data programmed in the device. By
using this programmable feature, proprietary designs implemented
in the device cannot be copied or retrieved.

CONFIGURATION CELL
A single configuration cell controls the functions of Pins 1 and 11.
Refer to Functional Diagram. When the configuration cell is
programmed, Pin 1 is a dedicated clock and Pin 11 is dedicated for
output enable. When the configuration cell is unprogrammed, Pins 1
and 11 are both dedicated inputs. Note that the output enable for all
registered OMCs is common—from Pin 11 only. Output enable
control of the bidirectional I/O OMCs is provided from the AND array
via the direction product term.

If any one OMC is configured as registered, the configuration cell
will be automatically configured (via the design software) to ensure
that the clock and output enable functions are enabled on Pins 1
and 11, respectively. If none of the OMCs are registered, the
configuration cell will be programmed such that Pins 1 and 11 are
dedicated inputs. The programming codes are as follows:
