  • Everything PCB - PCB Based website

    EverythingPCB is a Printed Circuit Industry product, service and resource guide listing everything from software to manufacturers to assembly services and everything in-between.

  • The Spirit Consortium

    The SPIRIT Consortium supplies, and will further develop, specifications that enable increased design automation for IP re-use methodologies built on multi-vendor tool flows.

  • PROM - Programmable Read Only Memory

    The first PLD is PROM was introduced in 1970. PROMs was introduced for use as computer memories in which to store program instructions and constant data values.

  • PLA - Programmable logic arrays

    PLAs became available in 1975 to address the limitations imposed by the PROM architecture, where both planes AND and OR arrays were programmable.

  • PAL - Programming Array Logic

    PALs were introduced in late 1970 to address speed problem shown by PLA devices. A PAL is opposite to PROM, where AND array is programmable but OR array is fixed.

  • GAL - Generic Array Logic

    Generic array logic was introduced by lattice semiconductor Co. in 1983. GAL offered CMOS electrically erasable PROM (EPROM, E2PROM) variations on the PAL concept.

  • EPLD - Erasable Programmable Device

    EPLD devices are erasable programming devices introduced by Altera offer high density and buried registers.

  • FPOA - Field Programmable Object Array

    Field programmable object array was introduced by Mathstar. FPOA is a field programmable device in the form of a two-dimensional array of Silicon Objects (SOs).

  • MPGA - Mask-programmable Gate Array

    Mask-Programmable Gate Array (MPGA) was developed to handle larger logic circuits.

  • FPAA - Field Programmable Analog Array

    Field programmable analog array (FPAA) based on switched capacitor circuits operating with operational amplifiers and numerous switches incorporate many classes (subsystems) of interconnections.

  • FPGA - Field Programmable Gate Array

    At the beginning of 1980, there were programmable logic devices, which had fast design, highly configurable and reprogrammable, but they were support only small functions.

  • Structured ASIC

    There was a large gap existing between standard cell-based design and FPGA, even when FPGA was introduced to overcome the gap.

  • CPLD - Complex Programmable Logic Devices

    As the technology surrounding programmable devices improved, new devices were developed which combined several PLDs together on a single integrated circuit to form complex programmable logic devices,

  • FPSC - Field Programmable System Chip

    Lattice Semiconductor was introduced Field Programmable System Chip (FPSC), where ASIC macrocell and FPGA gates were in same silicon die.

  • Bluetooth Special Interest Group

    This website is dedicated to our members and serves as the definitive source of information around Bluetooth SIG programs, initiatives, and Bluetooth wireless technology development. If you are associated with a member company or interested in membership within the Bluetooth SIG - you are in the right place.
