ATF1508ASV(L)

Programmable Pin-keeper Option for

Inputs and I/Os

The ATF1508ASV(L) offers the option of programming all

input and I/O pins so that “pin-keeper” circuits can be uti-

lized. When any pin is driven high or low and then subse-

quently left floating, it will stay at that previous high- or low-

level. This circuitry prevents unused input and I/O lines

from floating to intermediate voltage levels, which causes

unnecessary power consumption and system noise. The

keeper circuits eliminate the need for external pull-up resis-

tors and eliminate their DC power consumption.

Speed/Power Management

The ATF1508ASV(L) has several built-in speed and power

management features. The ATF1508ASV(L) contains cir-

cuitry that automatically puts the device into a low-power

standby mode when no logic transitions are occurring. This

not only reduces power consumption during inactive peri-

ods, but also provides proportional power-savings for most

applications running at system speeds below 5 MHz.

To further reduce power, each ATF1508ASV(L) macrocell

has a reduced-power bit feature. This feature allows indi-

vidual macrocells to be configured for maximum power-

savings. This feature may be selected as a design option.

I/O Diagram

All ATF1508 also have an optional power-down mode. In

this mode, current drops to below 10 mA. When the power-

down option is selected, either PD1 or PD2 pins (or both)

can be used to power down the part. The power-down

option is selected in the design source file. When enabled,

the device goes into power-down when either PD1 or PD2

is high. In the power-down mode, all internal logic signals

are latched and held, as are any enabled outputs.

All pin transitions are ignored until the PD pin is brought

low. When the power-down feature is enabled, the PD1 or

PD2 pin cannot be used as a logic input or output. How-

ever, the pin’s macrocell may still be used to generate bur-

ied foldback and cascade logic signals.

All power-down AC characteristic parameters are com-

puted from external input or I/O pins, with reduced-power

bit turned on. For macrocells in reduced-power mode

(reduced-power bit turned on), the reduced-power adder,

RPA, must be added to the AC parameters, which include

the data paths t

LAD, tLAC, tIC, tACL, tACH and tSEXP.

Each output also has individual slew rate control. This may

be used to reduce system noise by slowing down outputs

that do not need to operate at maximum speed. Outputs

default to slow switching, and may be specified as fast

switching in the design file.
