Using the ATV750B(L) Many Advanced
Features
The ATV750B(L) advanced flexibility packs more usable
gates into 24-pins than any other logic device. The
ATV750B(L) starts with the popular 22V10 architecture,
and add several enhanced features:
•Selectable D- and T-type Registers – Each ATV750B
flip-flop can be individually configured as either D- or T-
type. Using the T-type configuration, JK and SR flip-flops
are also easily created. These options allow more
efficient product term usage.
•Selectable Asynchronous Clocks – Each of the
ATV750B(L) flip-flops may be clocked by its own clock
product term or directly from Pin 1 (SMD Lead 2). This
removes the constraint that all registers must use the
same clock. Buried state machines, counters and
registers can all coexist in one device while running on
separate clocks. Individual flip-flop clock source
selection further allows mixing higher performance pin
clocking and flexible product term clocking within one
design.
•A Full Bank of Ten More Registers – The ATV750B
provides two flip-flops per output logic cell for a total
of 20. Each register has its own sum term, its own reset
term and its own clock term.
•Independent I/O Pin and Feedback Paths – Each I/O
pin on the ATV750B has a dedicated input path. Each of
the 20 registers has its own feedback terms into the
array as well. This feature, combined with individual
product terms for each I/O’s output enable, facilitates
true bi-directional I/O design.
Programming Software Support
As with all other Atmel PLDs, several third-party develop-
ment software products support the ATV750B(L). Several
third-party programmers support the ATV750B as well.
Additionally, the ATV750B may be programmed to perform
the ATV750(L)’s functional subset (no T-type flip-flops or
pin clocking) using the ATV750(L) JEDEC file. In this case,
the ATV750B becomes a direct replacement or speed
upgrade for the ATV750(L). The ATV750(L) programming
algorithm is different from the ATV750B algorithm. Choose
the appropriate device in your programmer menu to ensure
proper programming. Please refer to the Programmable
Logic Development Tools section for a complete PLD soft-
ware and programmer listing.
Synchronous Preset and
Asynchronous Reset
One synchronous preset line is provided for all 20 registers
in the ATV750B. The appropriate input signals to cause the
internal clocks to go to a high state must be received during
a synchronous preset. Appropriate setup and hold times
must be met, as shown in the switching waveform diagram.
An individual asynchronous reset line is provided for each
of the 20 flip-flops. Both master and slave halves of the flip-
flops are reset when the input signals received force the
internal resets high.
Security Fuse Usage
A single fuse is provided to prevent unauthorized copying
of the ATV750B fuse patterns. Once the security fuse is
programmed, all fuses will appear programmed during
verify.
The security fuse should be programmed last, as its effect
is immediate.
Erasure Characteristics
The entire memory array of an ATV750B is erased after
exposure to ultraviolet light at a wavelength of 2537 Å.
Complete erasure is assured after a minimum of 20 min-
utes exposure using 12,000 µW/cm2 intensity lamps
spaced one inch away from the chip. Minimum erase time
for lamps at other intensity ratings can be calculated from
the minimum integrated erasure dose of 15 W•sec/cm2. To
prevent unintentional erasure, an opaque label is recom-
mended to cover the clear window on any UV-erasable
PLD which will be subjected to continuous fluorescent
indoor lighting or sunlight.
Atmel CMOS PLDs
The ATV750B utilizes an advanced 0.65-micron CMOS
EPROM technology. This technology’s state-of-art features
are the optimum combination for PLDs:
•CMOS technology provides high-speed, low-power, and
high noise immunity.
•EPROM technology is the most cos-effective method for
producing PLDs – surpassing bipolar fusible link
technology in low cost, while providing the necessary
reprogrammability.
•EPROM reprogrammability, which is 100% tested before
shipment, provides inherently better programmability and
reliability than one-time fusible PLDs.
