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 ...

CPLD has the architectural features of both PAL and FPGA but is less complex than FPGA. More in CPLD Vs FPGA vs Microcontrollers comparison.. Ever since Xilinx introduced to the word ...

In its third major and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) announcement in the last 12 months, Lattice Semiconductor Corp. has introduced MachXO, a new product family that combines the key features ...

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… ...

The FPGA Xilinx released the FPGA (field-programmable gate array) into the wild ca. 1985, and 25 years later, the FPGA has become virtually synonymous with “programmable logic.” The guts of an FPGA is ...

How FPGA Works. Field programmable gate arrays consist of programmable logic blocks and a hierarchy of reconfigurable interconnects that allow the blocks to be wired together. FPGAs also include ...

Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are digital ICs consisting of arrays of logic blocks that can be programmed (wired) and reprogrammed multiple times, even after the product containing the FPGA ...

This authors explore the effect of logic block architecture on the speed of a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). Four classes of logic block architecture are investigated: NAND gates, multiplexer ...
