CS Digital LogicProgrammable Logic Device3 A programmable logic device (PLD) is an integrated circuit with internal logic gates that are connected through electronic fuses. Programming the device involves the blowing of fuses along the paths that must be disconnected so as to obtain a particular configuration. The word programming refers to a hardware procedure that specifies the internal configuration device. The gates in a PLD are divided into an AND array and OR array that are connected together to provide an AND-OR sum of Product implementation. The initial state of a PLD has all the fuses intact.

CS Digital LogicProgrammable Logic Device13 Programmable Arrays Logic (PALs) A programmable array logic (PAL) is a programmable logic device with a fixed OR array and a programmable AND array. The PAL is easier to program but not as flexible as the PLA. The typical PAL usually limits the number of inputs to an OR gate to 2, 4, 8, or 16. Examples: –BCD to Gray-code converter –Two-bit comparator

CS Digital LogicProgrammable Logic Device14 Read-Only Memories (ROMs) An read-only memory (ROM) is a device that includes both the decoder and the OR gates within a single IC package. The connections between the outputs of the decoder and the inputs of the OR gates can be specified for each particular configuration. The ROM is used to implement complex combinational circuits within one IC package or as permanent storage for binary information.

CS Digital LogicProgrammable Logic Device15 Read-Only Memories (ROMs) –ROMs come with special internal electronic fuses that can be programmed for a specific configuration. Once the pattern is established, it stays within the unit even when power is turned off and on again. –A ROM consists of n input lines and m outputs lines. –Each bit combination of the input variables is called an address. –Each bit combination that comes out of the output lines is called a word. –The number of bits per word is equal to number of output lines m.

CS Digital LogicProgrammable Logic Device16 Read-Only Memories (ROMs) –An address is essentially a binary number that denotes one of the minterms of n variables. –The number of distinct addresses possible with n input variables is 2 n. –An output word can be selected by a unique address, and since there are 2 n distinct addresses in a ROM, there are 2 n distinct words that are said to be stored in the unit. –A ROM is characterized by the number of words 2 n and the number of bits per word m.

CS Digital LogicProgrammable Logic Device18 Example –A 32  8 ROM consist of 32 words of 8 bits each. This means there are eight output lines and that there are 32 distinct words stored in the unit. The particular word selected that is presently available on the output lines is determined from the five inputs lines. –A ROM is sometimes specified by the total number of bits it contains, which is 2 n  m. For example, a bit ROM may be organized as 512 words of 4 bits each. This means that the unit has four output lines and 9 input lines to specify 2 9 = 512 words. The total number of the bits stored in the unit is 512  4 = 2048.
