FIGURE 13.10 An implementation by 4 ´ 4 ´ 2 PLA with four dedicated and two feedback input variables, 4 ANDs and 2
ORs (l = 4, m = 2, n = 4).
Example 13.5
Show how will we design a hardware lock from an eight input variable PLA having eight
number 16 input AND gates to eight OR gates. Lock opens and generates output = 1 when
input variables are 10100111 and OR outputs Y
0
to Y

are as follows:
Y
0
= Sm(0, 12, 38, 89); Y
1
= Sm(10, 112, 138, 209); Y
2
= Sm(0, 12, 117, 133, 1769);
Y
3
= Sm(37, 49, 74, 189); Y
4
= Sm(53, 92, 108, 128); Y
5
= Sm(8); Y
6
= Sm(83, 1133);
Y
7
= Sm(1, 128, 138, 59); [Total 25 distinct minterms]
