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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

There is a wide assortment of cheap development (dev) boards for Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLD), the smaller cousin of the Field Programmable Logic Array (FPLA) Using an inexpensive board ...

Yeah I am still a little pissed that the competition is still around and we aren’t, and by “we” I mean Commodore Business Machines (CBM). It was Commodore that had the most popular home computer ever ...

Recent advances in pro-grammable logic device (PLD) density and capability enable entire systems to be designed into a single programmable device. High levels of integration have been achieved in ...
