Advanced logic design techniques using field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), programmable logic devices, programmable array logic devices, and other forms of reconfigurable logic. Architectural ...

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 ...

A hierarchy of function arrays, the MSA is integrated with multilevel bus interconnects on an underlying programmable RAM base. The base specifies the arrays' connections and logic configurations ...

A Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) is a great piece of hardware to have in your repertoire. As its name implies, you can program these chips to serve the logic functions you need. This migh… ...

Once the design was finalized it was expected that the design be committed to a HAL- a mask programmed Hard Array Logic device. Now that I think about it, I realize quite how influential the IBM PC ...

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 ...

Canonical forms of switching functions. Switching function minimization using Karnaugh maps. Two-level and multi-level combinational circuits. Gate conversion. Decoders, encoders, multiplexers, and ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Engineers can turn to compact programmable logic devices to reduce component counts and shrink PCB footprints in their ever-more-complex designs.

FPOAs are highperformance, re-programmable integrated circuits based on proprietary Silicon Object™ technology. MathStar’s re-programmable Field Programmable Object Array can process logic functions ...
