PURPOSE OF THIS DESIGN GUIDEThis book was conceived to fill the need for a comprehensive Design Guide about Field-Programmable Logic Devices. The Guide is organized to serve both the experienced programmable logic user and the uninitiated. The primary objective of this guide is to introduce the uninitiated logic designer to programmable logic and to take the designer through a step-by-step approach to logic design by using programmable logic devices. The Guide is comprehensive in that it covers all aspects of design including Boolean logic basics sequential and combinational circuit s basics testing and applications. Every effort has been made to clearly illustrate points with examples. National Semiconductor invites comments and suggestions from our users on improving this Design Guide.1.2 OVERVIEW OF PROGRAMMABLE LOGICPROGRAMMABLE Logic has been used for many years at the means of customizing logic design. The early devices were primarily mask-programmed and were developed by computer manufacturers for in-house use while the vast majority of other logic users were relegated to the world of standard SSI MSI devices. Then in the mid to late seventies along came fuse programmable logic. The logic devices could actually be customized by the designer who used external pulses generated by simple programmer equipment. Now logic designers had devices that could be customized instantly and that offered higher integration than standard logic. Field-programmable logic devices became the first true semicustom logic that was widely available for both the small and larger user.Today the user can choose from a variety of speeds power packages logic features and vendors. The logic designer s task is being simplified even further by the rapid development of software tool that actually perform some of the design tasks such as logic minimization higher level Boolean representation device selection and test vector generation. The final goal is to simplify specific input-output or state descriptions is a high-level language to obtain a completely programmed and functional tested device.Technology developments are also taking place to achieve field-programmable logic devices in low-power CMOS technology and high-speed ECL technology.1.3 NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR THE LEADERNational Semiconductor entered the field programmable marketplace in 1980 with the introduction of the PAL device family. By 1984 National had taken the leadership of this market through technological advances and customer support. In particular National is the first company to come out with the 15 ns high-performance family of PAL devices. National also has the broadest product line of Programmable-logic products that will include CMOS and ECL products. National Semiconductor is committed to maintaining its leadership in this area through technological innovation customer support and product qualityPaperback 375 pages
