A modular array ASIC is a mask-programmed custom integrated circuit, created by mapping a logic design into an array of identical building-block logic primitives (modules) that comprise the basic ...

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) were introduced more than three decades ago, and since then they have evolved, giving way to new generations of FPGAs with better logic ...

Background FPGAs were an outgrowth of the programmable array logic (PAL) business in the late 1970s. These devices enabled design engineers to replace discrete logic chips with one programmable chip.

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 guys over at hackshed have been busy. [Carl] is making programmable logic design easy with an 8 part CPLD tutorial. (March 2018: Link dead. Try the Wayback Machine.) Programmable logic devices ...

For many designs, the advantages of using a single, programmable device that may include multiple processors, interfaces, and glue logic will make it the preferred choice over using today's discrete ...
