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… ...

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 ...

A bit of history 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 ...

Now is the time to invest in programmable logic devices (PLDs), and there’s no better way to do that than through Altera and Xilinx. Here are six reasons why. Logic is used to manage the ...

Editor’s Note: This “How it Was” story is told by Aubrey Kagan, who is a professional engineer with a BSEE from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and an MBA from the University of the ...

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 ...

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 ...
