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 ...

For well over a generations of digital designers, programmable logic has been a key charm in their bag of tricks. The ability to procedurally and systematically replace what otherwise would be ...

Programmable logic has been in the design toolbox since the early 1970s. Over the years, it has become a vital part of design. It had a humble beginning, back when programmable array logic (PAL) ...

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 ...

Programmable-logic devices are the fastest growing segment of the logic-device family for two fundamental reasons. Their ever-increasing gate count per device gathers up functions that you might ...

After one of my engineers told me that she had found a typo in her hardware, I thought just how far design has come in the last 30 years and more. Back then, the analog section of a system consisted ...
