GALmate

INTRODUCTION GALmate is a GAL® multi-platform programmer for electronic hobbyists. A simple RxD/TxD UART interface keeps the connection effort to a minimum. This easy-to-build circuit uses industry standard components. HARDWARE FEATURES SOFTWARE FEATURES LET’S GET STARTED The Basics Starting point: I’d like to realize a (simple) logic design using a reconfigurable (programmable) logic device (PLD).Requirements:… Read more GALmate

PITFALLS I/O features: an actual device may or may not have internal pull-ups (ca. 50-100kΩ) or bus-keeper (ATF devices only) Don‘t rely on device marking solely; check for presence/absence of I/O features by using the GALmate read function Clamping: pin voltages >7V may trigger erratic device behavior due to transition into Edit mode or Register… Read more GAL hints & more
