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 ...

Figure 1 Use a portion of a programmable-logic device or gate array to implement a Schmitt-trigger buffer (a) by adding either two (b) or four external resistors (c). Thanks to its internal hysteresis ...

Designing and deploying DSPs FPGAs aren’t the only programmable hardware option, or the only option challenged by AI. While AI makes it easier to design DSPs, there are rising complexities due to the ...

Ernie Smith is a former contributor to BizTech, an old-school blogger who specializes in side projects, and a tech history nut who researches vintage operating systems for fun. When it comes to major ...

The re-targeting of an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design in a field programmable gate array (FPGA) demonstrates the viability of using programmable logic in high-performance signal ...

Back in the bad old days, if you needed a little bit of custom logic you would whip out a tiny chip known as a PAL. A Programmable Logic Array is just what it sounds like and is the forerunner of ...

A programmable logic controller (PLC) is an industrial solid-state computer that monitors inputs and outputs, and makes logic-based decisions for automated processes or machines. 1. The image above is ...

Ladder logic uses switch or relay contacts to implement Boolean expressions. In years past, ladder logic was made possible with discrete relays and was sometimes termed “relay logic.” Today most ...

(a)Working principle of the spin logic device. (b) Transition among diverse magnetic configurations in this heterojunction. By manipulating the direction of the Oersted field, the SOT-induced ...

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 ...
