Texas Instruments has introduced six programmable logic devices with between 8 and 14 pins “with the ability to integrate up to 40 combinational and sequential logic and analogue functions into one ...

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 ...

Texas Instruments (TI) has introduced programmable logic devices (PLDs) that enable engineers to streamline their logic designs for any application. Credit: Texas Instruments With the ability to ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. For market growth to occur at desired levels, suppliers must meet consumer demand for compact electronic devices that integrate multiple functions. To ...

Configurable analog ICs have been available in various forms for years, seemingly making less of an impression on the market than their digital cousins, FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays). The ...

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 ...

System-on-programmable-chip technology has characteristics of both board-based design and ASIC-based system-on-a-chip ASIC design. The immediate attraction of SoPC is that, like a breadboard, the ...

Before long, platform FPGAs containing fixed or configurable processors and custom hardware will dominate the field of hardware design. By then, hardware/software codesign will be the norm. Fifteen ...

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 ...

Strategies for EDA tool usage will change course as gate levels, and ultimately costs, rise in programmable logic designs. For designs below 25,000 gates, the basic tools from logic vendors and many ...
