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… ...

The first practical programmable logic chips, known as PLAs (programmable logic arrays), became available in the mid 1970s. Things really took off though when MMI introduced a simplified series of ...

This optical PLA leverages parallel spectrum modulation to achieve an 8-input system, greatly enhancing the scope of optical logic operations. Demonstration and application of large-scale optical ...

Finally, based on the 8-bit full adder, we built a 5KB in-memory logic array capable of executing logic computations and simulated it using EDA tools. The simulation results demonstrated that the 5KB ...

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 ...

Finally, based on the 8-bit full adder, we built a 5KB in-memory logic array capable of executing logic computations and simulated it using EDA tools. The simulation results demonstrated that the 5KB ...

As reported in Advanced Photonics, they developed a large-scale optical programmable logic array (PLA) capable of handling more complex computations. This new optical PLA uses parallel spectrum ...
