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 ...

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 ...

Mountain View, Calif. Today's design teams, faced with the need to achieve system-level integration, are increasingly turning their attention toward so-called platform chips as an alternative to ...

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 ...

Programmable logic is going mainstream. Programmability, or rather configurability, will no longer be confined to glue logic, datapath chips, or special processing functions. Instead, programmable ...

Algorithm-driven design is the norm rather than the exception for the modern system designer, often requiring them to incorporate higher performance integrated circuits (ICs). Unfortunately, the ...

Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are used extensively in today’s electronic assemblies and test engineers are also choosing to incorporate user-programmable FPGA instrumentation as part of their ...

The reimagining of IT networks will begin when reconfigurable computing solutions like field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are available to all IT organizations. In my last column, I wrote about ...

Content Addressable Memory (CAM) architectures provide a powerful approach to high-speed data searches by comparing search data against an entire memory in parallel, rather than relying on sequential ...

Do you speak GAL? [Peterzieba] does, and has pulled together a collection of documents and tools so that you can too. There’s a dividing line in electronic engineering education, between those who ...
