The 8721 PLA, or programmable logic array, was one of the chips that had to be invented to make the Commodore 128, the last of the 8-bit computers that formed the leading edge of the early PC ...

The guys over at hackshed have been busy. [Carl] is making programmable logic design easy with an 8 part CPLD tutorial. (March 2018: Link dead. Try the Wayback Machine.) Programmable logic devices… ...

And while 8-bit microcontrollers are still flourishing, the simple programmable logic of yesteryear is not. Programmable Read-Only Memory (PROM) was the first field-programmable logic element created ...

programmable array logic elektor may 1985 It is well known that programmable ROMs (read-only memories) can be used not only as a logic building brick, but also as a Boolean operator or complex encoder ...

Programmable logic has come a long way from the simple devices we started out with. Remember Programmable Array Logic, or PALs? In bipolar technology the ICC on even a small PAL was over 100mA, and ...

Recent developments in programmable logic devices have led to in-system programming capabilities for FPGA (field programmable logic array) and CPLD (complex programmable logic device) devices using ...

Complex programmable logic devices. While much more complex than SPLDs, complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) generally have far less processing capacity than FPGAs and are built using different ...

These devices have been utilized to realize circuits that can implement both memory and logic structures. This work revolves around the robustness of these nanoscale devices when employed in ...
