Abstract :
By using a unique CMOS E2PROM technology, a novel field PLA (programmable logic array) has been developed. Owing to very low power consumption and low-voltage operation the PLA (L2-PLA) is suitable for most consumer usage. To achieve this performance a soft-write free E2PROM, a new low-power sense amplifier and an input transition detector (ITD) are used. L2-PLA can operate in a wide range of supply voltage (1.0 V to 6.0 V) and consumes only 8 mA and 1 MHz (5 V supply voltage). Moreover, it has a standby mode in which the current consumption is extremely low (below 1 μA)
