Encyclopedia > Generic array logic

The Generic Array Logic (also known as GAL) device was an innovation of the PAL and was invented by Lattice Semiconductor. The GAL was an improvement on the PAL because one device was able to take the place of many PAL devices or could even have functionality not covered by the original range. Its primary benefit, however, was that it was eraseable and re-programable making prototyping and design changes easier for engineers. MMI PAL 16R6 in 20-pin DIP AMD 22V10 in 24-pin DIP The term Programmable Array Logic (PAL) is used to describe a family of programmable logic device semiconductors used to implement logic functions in digital circuits introduced by Monolithic Memories, Inc. ... Lattice Semiconductor Corporation NASDAQ: [LSCC] is a leading manufacturer of high-performance programmable logic devices (PLDs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), programmable mixed-signal and interconnect products, related software and intellectual property (IP). ...

An innovation of the PAL was the generic array logic device, or GAL, invented by Lattice Semiconductor.
The GAL is very useful in the prototyping stage of a design, when any bugs in the logic can be corrected by reprogramming.
A PLD is a combination of a logic device and a memory device.
Logic synthesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (140 words)
Logic synthesis is a process by which circuit descriptions at the Register Transfer Level (RTL) are turned into a design implementation in terms of logic gates.
Some tools can generate bitstreams for programmable logic devices such as PAL or GAL devices, or FPGAs, while others target the creation of ASICs.
