Altera EP320 to PAL16V8

[Matthieu Benoit]

Anybody knows if it can be simply done to convert
a jedec file read out from an ALtera EP320 and to
program into a PALCE16V8 .
note it is for repair purposes so I haven't the design
software of the ALtera.

Yes, some companies did/do JEDEC converters.
This from the WinPLACE manual, so it looks like you can go EP320 -> 18CV8

JEDEC File Translation
The JEDEC-file translation utility of the WinPLACE Software translates
JEDEC files created for programming other PLD's (PAL's, GAL's, EPLD's
etc.,) to JEDEC files used for programming PEEL Devices. The translated
JEDEC file will program a PEEL Device to be a pin-to-pin replacement for
the original PLD.
The JEDEC file translation is available in Options .. Translators .. JEDEC
to JEDEC in the design window.
The translated PEEL JEDEC file is given the name of the original file with
the ".JED" extension modified to ".JEX". The ".JEX" file can then be used to
program your PEEL devices.

visit the Lattice website - www.latticesemi.com -

and download paltogal software. This utility converts almost all SPLD jedec to
the
equivalent GAL/PAL device, and is FREE -

good luck with your design -
