Short Tutorial on the Anachip PA7540
Programmable Electrically Erasable Logic Array - CH Ting
"I am studying the Programmable Electrically Erasable Logic Array (PEEL)
PA7540 which has 40 logic cells and a 42x84 product term array. It is quite
powerful and I will try it to use it to replace the digital logic chips in the
Digitial Storage Oscilloscope (DSO) design. Anachip (ICT) makes this series of
CPLD's with GAL's and other chips. The most interesting stuff is the design and
simulation tools WinPLACE, which can be downloaded free from
http://www.anachip.com."
