Abstract

A regular circuit structure called a River PLA and its re-configurable version, Glacier PLA, are presented. River PLAs provide greater regularity than circuits implemented with standard-cells. Conventional optimization stages such as technology mapping, placement and routing are eliminated. These two features make the River PLA a highly predictable structure. Glacier PLAs can be an alternative to FPGAs, but with a simpler and more efficient design methodology.
