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 array ...

The PAL family continued to evolve into the late 1980s, with faster, lower-power devices, including ones that could be reprogrammed. The most complex device type developed was probably the PAL22V10, ...

Mountain View, Calif. Today's design teams, faced with the need to achieve system-level integration, are increasingly turning their attention toward so-called platform chips as an alternative to ...

The field programmable gate array has always been a different sort of animal in the semiconductor market. While it has evolved from just a bunch of logic gates that can emulate other hardware and ...

Large-scale optical programmable logic array can execute complex models like Conway’s Game of Life, marking a significant advancement in optical computing Researchers have long sought to harness the ...

Yeah I am still a little pissed that the competition is still around and we aren’t, and by “we” I mean Commodore Business Machines (CBM). It was Commodore that had the most popular home computer ever ...

Programmable logic has come a long way from the simple devices we started out with. Remember Programmable Array Logic, or PALs? In bipolar technology the ICC on even a small PAL was over 100mA, and ...

Programmable logic is going mainstream. Programmability, or rather configurability, will no longer be confined to glue logic, datapath chips, or special processing functions. Instead, programmable ...

Microchip has introduced a 32 logic elements programmable logic array into a microcontroller. Each logic element can simulate AND, OR, NAND or NOR gate, a buffer or inverting buffer, a D or JK ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The first FPGA was invented by Ross Freeman (cofounder of Xilinx) in 1985 and since then their logic capacity has ...

Content Addressable Memory (CAM) architectures provide a powerful approach to high-speed data searches by comparing search data against an entire memory in parallel, rather than relying on sequential ...
