Page 3: Digital Logic Design Lecture # 14 University of Tehran.

Review of Lecture #13 Let us continue our discussion of

programmable devices. We saw the structure of a ROM with 4 inputs that had 16 lines entering its OR plane from the AND plane. The AND plane can actually be considered a 4-to-16 DCD as seen in the following figure:

Review of Lecture #13 (continued…) We saw that no minimization was done when

realizing functions with ROMs, because all minterms were produced in the fixed AND plane.

PLA (continued…) Note all minterms are used in the realization of

a function, and so minimizing this truth table using 4 variable KMs can be useful. Consider the following minimization:

PLA (continued…) In the minimization method shown in the last

slide, the number of variables used in a term is of no importance. What we are looking to do in this minimization is to share product terms between the different functions thus being able to decrease the number of rows in our AND plane. Doing this the shown truth table can be realized as shown in the next slide.

PLA (continued…) The reason we don’t look for decreasing the

number of literals in our product terms is rather obvious as there is no hardware difference. What we gain in this procedure is better layout and less rows which can be better observed in functions of a larger number of variables. These structures are called PLAs. AND OR

PLA (continued…) We should see PLAs as structured logic

components helping us with a reduction of size in comparison to the more general-purposed ROM ICs.

Nowadays PLA programmers use other techniques such as column sharing in order to decrease the size of PLAs even more.

Page 11: Digital Logic Design Lecture # 14 University of Tehran.

PAL There is also a third kind of programmable

device with a fixed OR plane and a programmable AND plane. An example of this structure called a PAL structure can be seen below: Feedback

Page 12: Digital Logic Design Lecture # 14 University of Tehran.

PAL (continued…) As you can see in the last figure, PALs give us

the ability to share certain product terms between two particular functions. Another choice PALs give us in order to realize larger functions in the ability to feedback an output of an OR gate back into the AND plane and use it as a part of a larger function. It must be noted that a feedback line can itself be used as an output.

Page 13: Digital Logic Design Lecture # 14 University of Tehran.

PAL (continued…) PALs do have a benefit with respect to PLAs

alongside all the restrictions they bring for realization of a function and that is better timing. This is because there is less delay on the OR gates of a PLA because of the fixed and rather small number of inputs to each OR gate.

Page 14: Digital Logic Design Lecture # 14 University of Tehran.

Structure of PROM’s Transistors Let’s see the kind of transistors that are used

in PROMs. These transistors are called floating gate transistors and are structured as shown below:

diffdiff

floating gatemain gate

Page 15: Digital Logic Design Lecture # 14 University of Tehran.

Structure of PROM’s Transistors (continued…) When such a transistor is to be disabled the

floating gate is given a high voltage that brings electrons from the two diffusion areas into it, giving it a negative charge and thus disabling the gate. Ultra violet light can be used to send these electrons back to the diffusion area.

Page 16: Digital Logic Design Lecture # 14 University of Tehran.

MSI Parts as a ROM Let’s consider a 2764: In this figure the VPP

and PFM pins are used when programming the package. This package has 13 inputs that gives us 213

*8 memory locations. That is 213 addresses pointing to 8 bit words.

MSI Parts as a ROM (continued…) The output lines are also used as input lines

with the use of three state buffers as can be seen. When both CS and OE signals are 0, these pins act as output and otherwise can be inputs for programming.

Cascading ROMs Standard packages need to have the ability to

cascade. ROMs are cascaded in 2 styles: The following method is called horizontal cascading

that expands our word length:

Cascading ROMs (continued…) Note that the programming of these packages

must be done each on its own and not in cascaded form.
