VHDL Class Note2017CLASS2

Programmable logic devices (PLDs) are integrated circuits that can be configured by the user to perform logic functions. There are different types of PLDs including PROM, PAL, and PLA. PLDs have an AND array followed by an OR array that are either or both programmable. The AND array takes inputs and generates product terms that are fed into the OR array to produce the sum-of-products output. PROMs have a fixed AND array and programmable OR array, while PLAs have both arrays programmable. PALs have a programmable AND array and fixed OR array. PLDs offer advantages like being user programmable, having software support tools

PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC DEVICES

PLD
PLD?

IS AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
WHICH CAN BE CONFIGURED
BY THE USER TO PERFORM A
LOGIC FUNCTION.
PROGRAMMER EQIPMENT
TYPES
PROM
PAL
PLA
STRUCTURE
AND array followed by an OR array
Either or both of them are programmable
Inputs are fed to the AND array which
generate the product terms
Product terms are fed into the OR array
OR array combines the various product
terms to produce the SOP
PROM
PROM
AND ARRAY FIXED OR ARRAY PROGRAMMABLE
PROM
AND array fixed OR array programmable
Flexible to the designer
Cheap and simple to use
All min terms are decoded
Only Boolean functions in sum of min
terms can be implemented
Useful when the combination circuit uses
more min terms.
PLA
PLA
Both AND array & OR array are programmable

PLA size can be specified by NK M

N= number of inputs
K=number of product terms
M=number of outputs
Both arrays are programmable
More flexible to the designer
Costly and complex compared to PROM & PAL
Boolean functions in the form of SOP can be
implemented.
PAL
PAL
AND array programmable OR array fixed
PAL
AND array programmable OR array fixed
Flexible to the designer
Cheaper and simple
Boolean functions in the form of SOP can be
implemented.
ADVANTAGES OF PLD

Is a user programmable semicustum circuit


Ease of design with software support tools
Variety of soft wares: PALASM,ABEL
A programmer equipment can be used to fuse the
design to the device.
PLDS are available to suit wide range of speed and
power requirements
PCB lay out is very much simplified
Implementation of Boolean function using PROM

F1(A,B) =m(1,3)
F2(A,B) =m(0,1,2)
F3(A,B) =m(0,3)

This indicate that the circuit has 2 inputs


A & B and 3 outputs F1,F2, F3
SEGMENT OF A SEQUENTIAL PAL

D =ABQ +ABQ
