Programmable Logic Array


 Programmable Logic Array (PLA)
A combinational circuit may occasionally have don’t care conditions. When implemented with a ROM, a don’t care condition become an address input that will never occur. The words at don’t care addresses need not to be programmed.


Why PLA??
 
Consider for example, a combinational circuit that converts a 12-bit card code to a 6-bit internal alphanumeric code
 



 
Valid output = 47

If we use ROM size of ROM = 4096X6

The remaining 4096 words of ROM are not used and are thus wasted




 
The number of Programmed links = 2n×k + k × m + m

Whereas that of a ROM is 2n × m

For previous combinational circuit,  n=12  , k=47 , m=6

So, links for ROM = 4096 X 6 = 24576
       links for PLA = 1128+282+6 = 1416



 
F1= AB’+AC    F2= AC+BC

Armature Winding ,Pole Pitch, Coil Span, Commutator Pitch

Now we are going to discuss about armature winding in details. Before going through this section, we should understand some basic terms related to armature winding of dc generator . Pole Pitch Definition of Pole Pitch The pole pitch is defined as peripheral distance between center of two adjacent poles in dc machine. This distance is measured in term of armature slots or armature conductor come between two adjacent pole centers. This is naturally equal to the total number of armature slots divided by number of poles in the machine. If there are 96 slots on the armature periphery and 4 numbers of poles in the machine, the numbers of armature slots come between two adjacent poles centers would be 96/4 = 24. Hence, the pole pitch of that dc machine would be 24. As it is seen that, pole pitch is equal to total numbers of armature slots divided by total numbers of poles, this can alternatively referred as armature slots per pole . Coil Span or Coil Pitch Coil of

Coding

Binary Coding 1. Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) Binary coded decimal (BCD) is a way to express each of the decimal digits with a binary code. There are only ten code groups in the BCD system, so it is very easy to convert between decimal and BCD. Because welike to read and write in decimal, the BCD code provides an excellent interface to binary systems. Examples of such interfaces are keypad inputs and digital readouts. The 8421 Code: The 8421 code is a type of BCD (binary coded decimal) code. Binary coded decimal means that each decimal digit, 0 through 9, is represented by a binary code of four bits. The designation 8421indicates the binary weights of the four bits 2 3 , 2 2 , 2 1 , 2 0 . The ease  of conversion between 8421 code numbers and the familiar decimal numbers is the main advantage of this code.  All wehave to remember are the ten binary combinations that represent the ten decimal digits as shown in Table 1. The 8421 code is the predominant BCD code, and when we ref
