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 ...

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

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 ...

TI’s new programmable logic offerings, however, can combine up to 40 combinational and sequential logic elements along with analog functions into a single device (Fig. 1). 1.

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

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 ...

Fortunately, key programmable-logic device (PLD) makers have stepped in to extend the advantages of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and PLDs to the analog world. This is better late than never.

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 ...
