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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

ASIC designers can obtain programmable logic's reconfigurability. Adaptive Silicon's RAM-based reprogrammable logic IP for ASICs, the MSA2500, has up to 25,000 ASIC gates for flexible designs. Typical ...

Do you speak GAL? [Peterzieba] does, and has pulled together a collection of documents and tools so that you can too. There’s a dividing line in electronic engineering education, between those who ...

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 ...

Algorithm-driven design is the norm rather than the exception for the modern system designer, often requiring them to incorporate higher performance integrated circuits (ICs). Unfortunately, the ...

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 ...

Intel builds processor chips and Arm provides processor cores to integrate into chips. Xilinx and Intel (nee Altera) build FPGAs and a range of new startups provide embedded FPGA (eFPGA) to integrate ...
