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

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 ...

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 ...

Californian startup Adaptive Silicon has publicly unveiled the design that the company will use to bring its own form of programmable logic to ASICs. In a break from traditional programmable-logic ...

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 ...

In those days, programmable devices consisted of PALs (programmable array logic devices) and CPLDs (complex programmable logic devices), which were essentially small sets of AND-OR planes with ...

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 ...

FPGAs, as their name suggests, consist of an array of programmable cells that perform the desired logic functions.
