Fix signal issue with MTCR on ATF parts #3

Closed reinauer closed 1 year ago

reinauer commented 1 year ago

Atmel ATF22V10 GALs have pin-keeper circuits that will cause I/Os to be held either high or low (but not float) when disabled. This feature consumes extra power, which causes problems with MTCR and DOE on U306 because there are 4 other GAL inputs hanging off the output. Thus, they don't securely go to 0V / 5V but get stuck around 1-2V. Enable MTCR output to actively drive the signal. This fixes half of the problem.

Alternatively R109E and R109H can be changed from 1kOhm to 560Ohm to improve the signals.
