Why Programmable Logic?  Facts: • It is most economical to produce an IC in large volumes • Many designs required only small volumes of ICs  Need an IC that can be: • Produced in large volumes • Handle many designs required in small volumes  A programmable logic part can be: • made in large volumes • programmed to implement large numbers of different low- volume designs Programmable Logic - More Advantages  Many programmable logic devices arefield - programmable , i. e., can be programmed outside of the manufacturing environment  Most programmable logic devices are erasable and reprogrammable. • Allows “updating” a device or correction of errors • Allows reuse the device for a different design - the ultimate in re- usability! • Ideal for course laboratories  Programmable logic devices can be used to prototype design that will be implemented for sale in regular ICs. • Complete Intel Pentium designs were actually prototyped with specialized systems based on large numbers of VLSI programmable devices! Programming Technologies  Programming technologies are used to: • Control connections • Build lookup tables • Control transistor switching  The technologies • Control connections  Mask programming  Fuse  Antifuse  Single-bit storage element Programming Technologies  The technologies (continued) • Build lookup tables  Storage elements (as in a memory) • Transistor Switching Control  Stored charge on a floating transistor gate • Erasable • Electrically erasable • Flash (as in Flash Memory)  Storage elements (as in a memory) Technology Characteristics  Permanent - Cannot be erased and reprogrammed
