Description:
Lot of 10x PAL16L8B-2CN programmable array logic ICs in 20-pin DIP packages. These are classic 16L8-type PALs (combinational logic, active-low outputs), -2 speed grade (~25 ns) for 5 V TTL systems. Parts come from high-quality surplus stock and were stored on anti-static foam as shown; pins are straight and clean. Ideal for repairing vintage digital boards or experimenting with classic PAL-based glue logic. Shipped in proper antistatic packaging with extra padding (not just the open foam).
Modern uses:
- Repair of vintage computer, telecom and industrial control boards that used PAL16L8 devices
- Re-creating classic address decoding and glue logic around 8/16-bit CPUs
- Retro-computing projects and hardware reproductions
- Educational projects showing how early programmable logic replaced piles of SSI/MSI TTL
Compatibility note:
These PAL16L8B-2CN devices are 5 V TTL PALs in 20-pin DIP packages. They were originally supplied as programmable parts and may already contain user fuse patterns from previous applications; they are sold as-is and not guaranteed blank or reprogrammable. Treat them as programmed pulls unless you verify otherwise. Always confirm pinout, supply voltage and speed grade against your board’s schematic and the PAL16L8B datasheet before installing in critical or high-reliability equipment.
