330 CHAPTER 7 / PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC DEVICES

FURTHER READING

Any recent text will have some coverage of the basic PLDs: ROMs, PLAs, and PAL devices.
However, there are a few texts that appear to cover these subjects better than most. The text
by Nelson, Nagle, Carroll, and Irwin and that by Yarbrough appear to cover the basics
rather well and extend their coverage into the industrial level. Other important books that
deal strictly with digital design with PLDs are those of Pellerin and Holley, Lala, Bolton, and
Carter. The text by Tinder appears to be the only one dealing with mixed logic inputs to and
outputs from PLDs. For multiple PLD schemes for augmenting input and output capability,
the text by Tinder and that by Ercegovac and Lang are recommended. Data handbooks are
often a necessary source for detailed current information, and none is better than that for
PAL devices by Advanced Micro Devices.

The subject of FPGAs is covered adequately by several recent texts and more extensively
by the device manufacturers of these devices. For introductory material on FPGAs, the
texts by Katz and Yarbrough (previously cited) are adequate. However, for current detailed
information, no sources are better than the recent data books from Xilinx, Actel, and Altera.
For the most recent information on the Xilinx CX4000XV family of FPGAs, the world
wide web is perhaps the best source. GAL devices are covered by Lattice Semiconductor's
data book. For EPLD component specifications and applications, the reader will find Intel's
data book useful.
