Specifications GAL16LV8ZD
Output Logic Macrocell (OLMC)
each macrocell controls the polarity of the output in any of the three
modes, while the AC1 bit of each of the macrocells controls the in-
put/output configuration. These two global and 16 individual archi-
tecture bits define all possible configurations in a GAL16LV8ZD.
The information given on these architecture bits is only to give a
better understanding of the device. Compiler software will trans-
parently set these architecture bits from the pin definitions, so the
user should not need to directly manipulate these architecture bits.
The following discussion pertains to configuring the output logic
macrocell. It should be noted that actual implementation is accom-
plished by development software/hardware and is completely trans-
parent to the user.
There are three global OLMC configuration modes possible:
simple, complex, and registered. Details of each of these modes
is illustrated in the following pages. Two global bits, SYN andAC0,
control the mode configuration for all macrocells. The XOR bit of
