Programmable Array Logic
Programmable Array Logic
(hardware)PAL devices are programmed by blowing the fuses permanentlyusing overvoltage.
Today, more complex devices based on the same originalarchitecture are available (CPLD's for Complex PLD's) thatincorporate the equivalent of several original PAL chips. PALchips are, however, still popular due to their high speed.
Generic Array Logic devices are reprogrammable and containmore logic gates.
