AMD PALCE20V8 Family Datasheet
The PALCE20V8 is an advanced, electrically‑erasable CMOS programmable array logic (PAL) device from AMD. It offers eight configurable macrocells, selectable as registered or combinatorial outputs, and supports both commercial and industrial temperature ranges. The device is pin‑compatible with GAL20V8 and can replace a wide range of 24‑pin PAL parts.
The datasheet provides detailed functional descriptions, macrocell configuration options, pin designations, package information, power‑up reset behavior, programming and erasing procedures, as well as compliance with PCI specifications. It also outlines security features such as a programmable security bit and an electronic signature word.
