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 is an introductory course in the fundamentals of designing digital computer hardware. This course covers: logic gates, binary number system, conversion between number systems, Boolean algebra, ...

A specially designed programmable logic array (PLA) suitable for use in digital system design laboratories for undergraduates is presented. Rewriting the PLA is done just by transferring the new codes ...

Reversible logic is the emerging field for research in present era. The aim of this paper is to design and synthesize a Programmable array Logic (PAL) and Programmable Logic array (PLA) using ...
