GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PALCE26V12 is a 28-pin version of the popular
PAL22V10 architecture. Built with low-power, high-
speed, electrically-erasable CMOS technology, the
PALCE26V12 offers many unique advantages.
The product terms are connected to the fixed OR array
with a varied distribution from 8 to 16 across the outputs
(see Block Diagram). The OR sum of the products feeds
the output macrocell. Each macrocell can be pro-
grammed as registered or combinatorial, active high or
active low, with registered I/O possible. The flip-flop can
be clocked by one of two clock inputs. The output
configuration is determined by four bits controlling three
multiplexers in each macrocell.
Device logic is automatically configured according to
the user’s design specification. Design is simplified by
design software, allowing automatic creation of a
programming file based on Boolean or state equations.
The software can also be used to verify the design and
can provide test vectors for the programmed device.
AMD’s FusionPLD program allows PALCE26V12
designs to be implemented using a wide variety of
popular industry-standard design tools. By working
closely with the FusionPLD partners, AMD certifies that
the tools provide accurate, quality support. By ensuring
that third-party tools are available, costs are lowered
because a designer does not have to buy a complete set
of new tools for each device. The FusionPLD program
also greatly reduces design time since a designer can
use a tool that is already installed and familiar. Please
refer to the PLD Software Reference Guide for certified
development systems and the Programmer Reference
Guide for approved programmers.
The PALCE26V12 utilizes the familiar sum-of-products
(AND/OR) architecture that allows users to implement
complex logic functions easily and efficiently. Multiple
levels of combinatorial logic can always be reduced
to sum-of-products form, taking advantage of the
very wide input gates available in PAL devices. The
functions are programmed into the device through
electrically-erasable floating-gate cells in the AND logic
array and the macrocells. In the unprogrammed state,
all AND product terms float HIGH. If both true and
complement of any input are connected, the term will be
permanently LOW.
