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 ...

Winston-Salem, N.C. – The new Triad Mocha family of ARM-powered VCAs (via-configurable arrays) from Triad Semiconductor Inc. combine the ARM Cortex-M0 processor with Triad's analog, digital and memory ...

NEC Corporation announced today the successful demonstration of a low power programmable cell array using a rewritable and nonvolatile solid-electrolyte switch, "NanoBridge," integrated into a 90nm ...

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 ...

The 8721 PLA, or programmable logic array, was one of the chips that had to be invented to make the Commodore 128, the last of the 8-bit computers that formed the leading edge of the early PC ...

How do they get a complete logic analyzer in that tiny package? The advent of programmable logic devices (PLDs) started discrete-logic ICs on the road to extinction years ago. The expansion of PLDs to ...

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 ...

Equations of circuit theory led to a prediction of the memristor almost 40 years before the device was discovered. The equations state relations among four variables: charge (q), current (i), voltage ...

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 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 ...
