Abstract :
The PLA (programmable logic array) has become a major subsystem block in the hardware of many systems. A mapping algorithm and hardware for a reconfigurable PLA (RPLA) interfaced to a general purpose microcontroller are described. The functional reconfigurability is achieved by altering the input literal associated with each product and output terms of the function set. The scheme gives a flexibility in realignment of the functions to be implemented
