Abstract

A condensed single block plus PLA architecture utilizing a rectangular shape is shown. By interleaving the ORterms of the PLA array with the Pterms of the array, a significant amount of die space is saved when incorporating the circuit with silicon. The decode routing required is now simplified and the propagation delay skews through the array are also reduced.
