Over the years, it has become a vital part of design. It had a humble beginning, back when programmable array logic (PAL) devices could replace a mere 10 to 20 gates of logic.

The Programmable Array Logic (PAL) from Monolithic Memories (MMI) was marketed at the time by a local distributor called Radiokom who was hosting the seminar. The databook that I got at the seminar (I ...

A 4-by-4 array, this HB supports up to 512 I/O ports or logic connections to external logic. An FC can be configured to serve as a 1-bit ALU or a 3-input, 1-output LUT.

Complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) contain the building blocks for hundreds of 7400-serries logic ICs. Complete circuits can be designed on a PC and then uploaded to a CPLD for instant impl… ...

For many designs, the advantages of using a single, programmable device that may include multiple processors, interfaces, and glue logic will make it the preferred choice over using today's discrete ...

Blurring that line slightly is gate array logic (GAL). These devices were a preceursor to the FPGA, with a much simpler structure, and usually in those days UV-erasable in the same manner as an EPROM.

This Design Idea describes a simple alternative to a nonvolatile gating function you typically implement using PAL (programmable-array logic), GAL (gate-array logic), or a CPLD ...
