• Outputs: 8 registered outputs (with feedback)
• Macrocells: 8 macrocells (combinatorial or registered)
• Power Dissipation: Typically 175 mW (active)

Descriptions:

• The AMPAL16R8APC is a high-speed, low-power PAL device with registered outputs.
• It is designed for general-purpose logic applications, including state machines, counters, and address decoding.
• Features a programmable AND array and a fixed OR array for logic implementation.
• Supports both combinatorial and sequential logic functions.

Features:

• High-Speed Operation: 15 ns maximum propagation delay.
• Registered Outputs: 8 D-type flip-flops for synchronous designs.
• Programmable I/O: Outputs can be configured as registered or combinatorial.
• Wide Operating Voltage: 4.5V to 5.5V.
• TTL-Compatible Inputs/Outputs: Ensures compatibility with standard logic levels.
• High Noise Immunity: Robust design for reliable operation in noisy environments.

This device is now considered obsolete but was widely used in legacy digital logic designs.
