The block diagram for the chip is shown in Figure 1. The ispM4A5 has four PALblocks labeled A, B, C, and D. This is roughly equivalent to having four of the 1978 era PAL deviceson one chip. The PAL blocks are interconnected by the central switch matrix shown in the center of thediagram.In each PAL block, the AND logic array connects to the central switch matrix. The AND logic array isthe first level of the sum-of-product expression. The AND array feeds into the OR array contained inthe logic allocator block which completes the sum-of-products

Everyone came to the meetings with a pretty clear idea of what we needed to do and the motivation to work on it making my job fairly easy. The only blotch on my record was failing to call when I was quite sick and couldn’t come to the meeting. Our attendance policy states that we need to notify the group, and I just forgot. I would grade myself a B- on my role as not quite a solid “good,” but more like a “not half bad.” Person 2: This portion of the semester I had the role of leader.
