The umbrella term “logic devices” subdivides into several categories: discrete logic, simple and complex PLDs, FPGAs, and standard- and custom-cell ASICs. FPGAs, SPLDs/PALs, and CPLDs are all ...

The PAL family continued to evolve into the late 1980s, with faster, lower-power devices, including ones that could be reprogrammed. The most complex device type developed was probably the PAL22V10, ...

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Programmable logic supplier Actel Corp. today announced a partnership with LogicVision Inc. to embed reusable test intellectual property in system-on-chip (SoC) designs. The two ...

Eight new reference designs, a $49 development kit for the ProcessorPM POWR605 power manager device, and a $69 ispMACH 4000ZE Pico Development Kit are now available. The new kits are ideal for ...

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 ...

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 the ...

How do they get a complete logic analyzer in that tiny package? The advent of programmable logic devices (PLDs) started discrete-logic ICs on the road to extinction years ago. The expansion of PLDs to ...

Microchip has introduced a 32 logic elements programmable logic array into a microcontroller. Each logic element can simulate AND, OR, NAND or NOR gate, a buffer or inverting buffer, a D or JK ...
