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 ...

That EPROMs, EEPROMs and kin can be used as programmable logic should probably not come as a major surprise, but [Jimmy] has created a Lisp-based project that makes using these chips as a logic arr… ...

Optical computing aims to replace electricity with light to achieve faster, energy-saving computing. Researchers have now developed an optical programmable logic array (PLA) that overcomes key hurdles ...

Programmable logic arrays have achieved the status of 'perennial bridesmaids' amongst the succession of component 'brides' used for the implementation of logic functions. This article describes the ...

Configurable analog ICs have been available in various forms for years, seemingly making less of an impression on the market than their digital cousins, FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays). The ...

A new category of very high-performance programmable logic devices has been developed to address the un-met needs of system designers. The MathStar Field Programmable Object Array (FPOA) is an example ...

Large-scale optical programmable logic array can execute complex models like Conway’s Game of Life, marking a significant advancement in optical computing Researchers have long sought to harness ...

Abstract: We have been studied the VPEX (via programmable logic using exclusive or array) architecture whose logic element (LE) consist of the combination of AOI21, NOR and NOT gates. We adopted ...
