Introduction to the PALC16R8-35PC Programmable Logic Device

The PALC16R8-35PC is a programmable array logic (PAL) device manufactured by CYRESS, designed for high-performance digital logic applications. As part of the PALC series, this component features a fixed-OR, programmable-AND architecture, offering flexibility in implementing custom combinational and sequential logic circuits.

With 16 inputs and 8 outputs, the PALC16R8-35PC supports registered or combinatorial output configurations, making it suitable for state machine designs, address decoding, and control logic. The 35ns maximum propagation delay ensures reliable operation in medium-speed systems, while its low-power CMOS technology enhances energy efficiency.

The device is housed in a 20-pin plastic DIP (PDIP) package, ensuring compatibility with standard prototyping and production environments. Its electrically erasable (EE) cells allow for reprogramming, facilitating iterative design improvements without requiring physical replacement.

Key applications include industrial automation, telecommunications, and embedded systems where reliable, customizable logic is essential. The PALC16R8-35PC remains a practical choice for engineers seeking a balance between performance, flexibility, and ease of integration in legacy or modern digital designs.
