option i s select ed in the de sign so urce file . When en abled ,
the device goes into power down when either PD1 or PD2
is high. In the power down mo de, all inter nal logic s ignals
are latched and held, as are any enabled outputs.
All pin transi tions are ignored until the PD pi n is brought
low. When the power down feature is enabled, the PD1 or
PD2 pin cannot be used as a l ogic input or output. How-
ever, the pin’s ma croc ell m ay st ill be used to gener ate bur-
ied foldback and cascade logic signals.
All Powe r-Down AC Characteri stic 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,
tRPA, mus t be added to the AC par ameters, whi ch include
the data paths tLAD, tLAC, tIC, tACL, tACH and tSEXP.
The ATF1502AS macrocell also has an option whereby the
power can be reduced on a per macrocell basis. By
enabling this power down option, macrocells that are not
used in an application can be turned down thereby reduc-
ing the overall power consumption of the device.

that do not need to operate at maxim um speed. Outputs
default to slow switching, and may be specified as fast
switching in the design file.
Design Software Support
ATF15 02AS des igns are supp orted by sev eral thir d party
tools. Automated fitters allow logic synthesis using a variety
of high level description languages and formats.
Power Up Reset
The ATF1502AS has a power-up reset option at two differ-
ent voltage trip levels when the dev ice is being powered
down. Within the fitter, or during a conversion, if the
“power-reset” option is turned “on” (which is the default
option), the trip levels during power up or power down is at
2.8V. The user can change this default option from “on” to
“off” (within the fitter or specify it as a switch during conver-
sion). When this is done, the voltage trip level during
power-down changes from 2.8V to 0.7V. This is to ensure a
robust operating environment.
The regis ters i n th e A TF1502 AS ar e d es igned to r es et dur-
ing power up. At a poi nt delayed slig htly from VCC crossing
Vrst, all registers will be r eset to the low state. The output
state will depend on the polarity of the buffer.
This feature is critical for state machine initialization. How-
ever, due to the asynchronous nature of reset and the
uncerta inty of how V CC actua lly ris es in the s ystem, th e fol-
lowing conditions are required:
1. The VCC rise must be monotonic,
2. After reset occurs, all input and feedback setup
times must be met before driving the clock pin-
high, and,
3. The clock must remain stable during TD.
Security Fuse Usage
A single fuse i s provided to preven t unauthorized copying
of the ATF1502AS fuse patterns. Once programmed, fuse
verify is inhibited. However, the 16-bit User Signature
remains accessible.
Programming
ATF1502AS devices are In-System Programmable ( ISP)
devices utilizing the 4-pin JTAG protocol. This capability
eliminat es pac ka ge h andling no r mal ly r equi r ed fo r pro gr am
and facilitates rapid design iterations and field changes.
Atmel provides ISP hardware and software to allow pro-
grammi ng of the ATF1502AS v ia the PC. ISP is per formed
by using either a down load c able, o r a comp arable b oard
tester or a simple microprocessor interface.
When using the ISP hardware or S/W to program the
ATF1502AS dev ic es, four I/0 pins mus t b e res er ved for the
JTAG interface. However, the logic features the macrocells
associated with these I/0 pins are still available to the
design for burned logic functions.
To facilitate ISP programming by the Automated Test
Equipment (ATE) ve ndors. Se ri al Vector Form at (SVF) file s
can be created by Atmel provided Software utilities.
ATF1502AS devices can also be programmed using stan-
dard 3rd party programmers. With 3rd party programmer
the JTAG ISP port can be disabled thereby allowing 4 addi-
tional I/O pins to be used for logic.
Contact your local Atmel representatives or Atmel PLD
applications for details.
ISP Programming Protection
The ATF1502AS has a special feature which locks the
devic e and prevents the inputs and I /O from drivin g if t he
programming process is interrupted due to any reason. The
inputs and I/O default to high-Z state during such a condi-
tion. In add ition, th e pin keep er optio n preserve s the pre vi-
ous state of the input and I/0 PMS during programming.
All ATF1502A S devices are initial ly shipped in the erased
state thereby making them ready t o use f or ISP.
