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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Then Xilinx came up with the SRAM-based field programmable gate array (FPGA) that could hold from 1,000 to more than 5,000 logic gates. Unfortunately, using all those gates while still connecting them ...
