PAL(10.1) PAL(10.1) NAME pal - data preparation program for PAL's and PLA's SYNOPSIS pal [ -option ] [ type [ filename ] ] DESCRIPTION Pal reads data from the standard input or filename in the form of minterm(10.5) and writes on the standard output data suitable for prom(10.1) driving a PRO LOG programmer with a MMI PAL adapter. The options are: -x Produce a table filled with '-' (fuse blown) or 'X' (fuse present) for checking by human being. -d Produce output suitable for use by drom(10.1) driving a DATA I/O programmer with a LogicPak. Pal has internal tables that describe the fuse layout and addressing inside the chips. The type flag on the command line is used to address the correct tables. type means the pal type, for example, "AM22V10". The numeric symbol of a term that corresponds to the output enable of a pin is 100 + pin_number by convention. Just to be strange, the conven- tion for the 22V10 is: 200 + pin_number for polarity, 300 + pin_number for architecture fuses and pins 25 and 26 are asynchronous reset and synchronous preset respectively. The pals with X in their name use an additional convention. Since quine(10.1) can only handle and-or logic, and the X pals have two dif- ferent sets of and-or logic driving the two inputs of an xor gate, those two terms are number 200 + output pin number and 300 + ditto.
