I absolutely credit CBM with buying the MOS Technologies chip foundry, as together we could make our own processors, graphics chips, sound chips, memory controllers, and programmable logic.

The PAL family continued to evolve ... Xilinx released the FPGA (field-programmable gate array) into the wild ca. 1985, and 25 years later, the FPGA has become virtually synonymous with “programmable ...

Editor’s Note: This “How it Was” story is told by Aubrey Kagan, who is a professional engineer with a BSEE from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and an MBA from the University of the ...

Back in the bad old days, if you needed a little bit of custom logic you would whip out a tiny chip known as a PAL. A Programmable Logic Array is just what it sounds like and is the forerunner of ...

It had a humble beginning, back when programmable array logic (PAL) devices could replace a mere 10 to 20 gates of logic. Today, complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) can handle hundreds of ...

FPGAs were an outgrowth of the programmable array logic (PAL) business in the late 1970s. These devices enabled design engineers to replace discrete logic chips with one programmable chip.

As reported in Advanced Photonics, they developed a large-scale optical programmable logic array (PLA) capable of handling more complex computations. This new optical PLA uses parallel spectrum ...

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

Two-level and multi-level combinational circuits. Gate conversion. Decoders, encoders, multiplexers, and demultiplexers. Programmable logic devices: read-only memories, programmable logic arrays 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 ...
