GAL6002B-20LJ: Flexible PLD for Logic Integration and Legacy System Support

September 1, 2025
GAL6002B-20LJ

In digital electronics, Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs) such as the GAL6002B-20LJ remain essential for providing customizable, deterministic logic control. Part of Lattice Semiconductor’s GAL family (Generic Array Logic), this device is widely used for glue logic, interface control, and small-scale programmable applications in embedded and industrial systems.

At DRex Electronics, we supply both current and legacy programmable devices like the GAL6002B-20LJ, ensuring OEMs and global manufacturers maintain stable supply chains for long-lifecycle products.

 

What is the GAL6002B-20LJ?

The GAL6002B-20LJ is a low-power, CMOS-based programmable logic device with EEPROM programmability. Unlike one-time programmable PALs, it can be reprogrammed multiple times, making it cost-effective for prototyping and system updates.

It is packaged in a 44-pin PLCC (LJ package), making it suitable for both compact designs and socketed prototyping environments. With a 20 ns speed grade, it supports moderate-speed applications while ensuring predictable performance.
