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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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

The 8721 PLA, or programmable logic array, was one of the chips that had to be invented to make the Commodore 128, the last of the 8-bit computers that formed the leading edge of the early PC ...
