FAST PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC DEVICES are traditionally implemented in the bipolar fuse technology. Bipolar fuse technology satisfies the speed requirement of these devices, but has two major disadvantages: (1) significantly higher power consumption and, (2) fuse technology does not allow reprogrammability and 100% testability. High-speed CMOS technology along with the demonstrated reliability and reprogrammability of FAMOS devices is gaining momentum in high-speed programmable logic design. A 19ns, low-power 250mW, 44-input term and 132 product term programmable logic device using 1.2~ N-well CMOS EPROM technology will be described. The power is one fourth of equivalent bipolar parts.
