ABSTRACT:
A software programmable logic array ("SPLA") is disclosed for creating a logic array which can be dynamically programmed to provide any combination of predetermined outputs from any combination of desired inputs. The foregoing is accomplished by providing a first plane of programmable bits for producing a plurality of AND terms which are input to a second plane of programmable bits for producing a plurality of OR terms, which are then input into a third plane of programmable bits for producing a plurality of outputs, each having a desired polarity.
