That EPROMs, EEPROMs and kin can be used as programmable logic should probably not come as a major surprise, but [Jimmy] has created a Lisp-based project that makes using these chips as a logic array ...

The gate array market has been attacked from both ends today (Monday) as LSI Logic unveils design software and Altera launches itself as a gate array supplier. Altera’s move is an attempt to take more ...

Equations of circuit theory led to a prediction of the memristor almost 40 years before the device was discovered. The equations state relations among four variables: charge (q), current (i), voltage ...

Virtual PLCs run control logic in software instead of hardware. Here's what that means for your manufacturing operation.

On the surface, a programmable logic controller (PLC) might seem like nothing more than a generic microcontroller, perhaps outfitted to operate in industrial settings with things like high ...

This post sponsored by Texas Instruments. Programmable logic has been around since the days when new 8-bit microcontrollers were flourishing. And while 8-bit microcontrollers are still flourishing, ...
