Figure 1 Use a portion of a programmable-logic device or gate array to implement a Schmitt-trigger buffer (a) by adding either two (b) or four external resistors (c). Thanks to its internal hysteresis ...

Before long, platform FPGAs containing fixed or configurable processors and custom hardware will dominate the field of hardware design. By then, hardware/software codesign will be the norm. Fifteen ...

Microchip has introduced a 32 logic elements programmable logic array into a microcontroller. Each logic element can simulate AND, OR, NAND or NOR gate, a buffer or inverting buffer, a D or JK ...
