GAL16V8 Programmable Logic Device

Yes. The GAL16V8 is architecturally and pin-compatible with industry-standard PAL16L8 and PAL16R8 devices. Its output logic macrocells can be configured to emulate combinatorial or registered PAL architectures, allowing direct substitution in existing PCB designs programmed with PALASM or equivalent tools.

The GAL16V8 category encompasses E2CMOS GAL devices (Lattice Semiconductor), PAL/Bipolar devices (MMI), and CPLD families (Cypress Semiconductor). Standard 74-series logic in LS, ALS, HC, and HCT technologies from Hitachi and Toshiba are also available for complementary glue-logic and interfacing needs.

Yes. LEVEL SOLUTIONS supplies both commercial and military-specification graded devices across all major manufacturers and package types. Mil-spec parts undergo enhanced testing and screening to meet the reliability requirements of defense, aerospace, and other high-reliability applications.

LEVEL SOLUTIONS carries PLDs from leading manufacturers including Lattice Semiconductor (GAL and ispLSI families), MMI (PAL16L8/16R8 architecture), and Cypress Semiconductor (MAX340, Ultra37000, Delta39K CPLDs). Additional brands and package types are available through our global sourcing network upon request.

All components are stored in ESD-compliant warehouses to prevent electrostatic discharge damage. Millions of parts are ready to ship today from local stock. For specialty or high-volume orders, billions of additional parts are accessible from our global supply chain network, with specific shipping methods available upon request.

GAL16V8 and related PLD devices are widely used in glue-logic replacement, address decode logic, state-machine and control-path designs, embedded industrial control, legacy computing systems, bus interfacing, and military/defense electronics. They are also used in networking, peripheral board designs, and commercial electronics requiring programmable combinatorial or registered logic functions.
