Programmable logic has come a long way from the simple devices we started out with. Remember Programmable Array Logic, or PALs? In bipolar technology the ICC on even a small PAL was over 100mA, and ...

Programmable analog devices give the design engineer the freedom to configure exactly the combination of analog functions that their product needs, integrated into a single device. To what extent, ...

Modern PLDs allow designers to implement an entire system on a programmable chip. Device vendors are providing more sophisticated EDA tools. EDA-tools providers have entered the growing and ...

After one of my engineers told me that she had found a typo in her hardware, I thought just how far design has come in the last 30 years and more. Back then, the analog section of a system consisted ...
