Abstract :
The authors present a circuit design for ROM and PLA compilers. Both ROM and PLA compilers use the same circuit architecture. This design took special consideration of the characteristics and limitations of sea-of-gates technology, so it can easily get 100% body utilization from most kinds of sea-of-gates body. The authors have made real products successfully and use only one mask layer to program the ROM and PLA codes
