A test that is performed following the programming of a PLD The test operates the device in its normal operating mode by simulating the inputs and outputs that the part will experience in normal operation To perform the test the engineer must supply a set of test vectors that describe normal operation of the device so the device programmer can apply the specified stimulus and verify that the device is operating as designed It is important to perform a functional test on PLDs because in many cases the PLD cannot be fully tested at the factory before programming so a defective PLD may program correctly but fail the functional test A properly designed functional test will verify that the part meets the design specification ensuring that the device the compiler the programmer and the engineer have all performed their respective tasks correctly A metal connection within a PLD or memory that may be melted during programming to break the circuit These links typically carry input signals to logic gates Burning all the fuses except those that are required in the desired circuit forms the desired circuit configuration Since the fuses cannot be tested nondestructively fuse like programmable devices cannot be 100 tested at the factory and consequently expected programming yields are usually 98 9996 Generic Array Logic EEPROM based second generation PAL devices A multiple socket programmer that requires each device to be placed in a socket b

33. MEMORY These devices are also electrically erasable but you must place the chip into erase mode and then erase parts of it They require special algorithms to access the internal registers to erase or program They typically have part numbers that start with 28FXXX or 29 FLASH memory devices are unlike normal EPROMS in that they may be erased electrically This means that it is no longer necessary to place the ChipMax User s Guide device into an eraser but to simply erase it while it is in the ZIF socket Since FLASH memory may be reprogrammed and is far less expensive than EEPROMS FLASH memory is a good choice for in circuit designs One time programmable OTP EPROMs are inexpensive because there is no window on the device Because they can only be written into once it makes software updates either impossible or very expensive EPROMs may be re programmed but only after they are taken out of the circuit and erased which means that they cannot be soldered directly into the circuit making production costs higher Also EPROMs are more expensive due to the expense of the quartz window on the device In some cases such as a 32 pin or smaller PLCC the device is too small to permit a window EEPROMs allow re programmability and thus may be directly soldered into the circuit However EEPROMs are considerably more expensive than OTP EPROMs EPROMSs and even FLASH devices EEPROMS are also less dense than EPROMs and FLASH FLASH me
34. PROM For many years the PROM was not classified as a PLD even though most of the smaller PROMs 32 x 8 organization for example were being used as logic elements The larger PROMs were still applied in bipolar microprocessor designs to store microcode instructions The PROM has an architecture similar to the PAL except that the PROM s AND array is fixed while its OR array is programmable FPLA The field programmable logic array consists of a programmable AND array like the PAL with a programmable OR array like the PROM The FPLA is therefore a more general PLD because any product term may be connected to any output OR gate Because the entire IC is programmable the FPLA can implement some functions which a PAL or PROM may not be able to implement a EPLD Several manufacturers produce PLDs which be erased and reprogrammed like EPROMs These ICs are called erasable programmable logic devices or EPLDs Internally they have the same programmable AND OR register structures of the PAL and FPLA ChipMax User s Guide Microcontroller These devices are CPU s with on chip EPROM and RAM They are typically 40 pins and are UV erasable They have part numbers such as Intel s 8748 8749 8751 8752 etc A micro controller is generally a computer on a chip with RAM ROM and I O ports Microcontrollers are usually used for specific purposes such as keyboard decoders printers clocks telephones CD players or any other appli
