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 ...

Abstract: We developed a novel configurable logic array test structure using a highly scalable 3 rd generation split-gate flash memory cell that features low power and fast configuration time. This ...

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 ...

The basic FPGA cell is based around a 4bit ALU in an architecture reminiscent of the early TTL chip, the 74S181. In the Adaptive array, SRAM cells control the logic cells that drive the ALU functions.

The Programmable Logic Array (PLA) macro is a physical structure which simplifies LSI chip design while yielding high density and good performance. In addition, the inherent order and regularity of ...

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Programmable logic supplier Actel Corp. today announced a partnership with LogicVision Inc. to embed reusable test intellectual property in system-on-chip (SoC) designs. The two ...

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.
