Where can I find a PAL with SR latch ?

Hi :-)



Here my newbie question :-) Where can I find PAL with SR instead of D latches ? My ttl simple machine need set and reset functions. Is there a such thing ?



Noob :-)


You can make a SR latch using combinatorial logic. In CUPL it would look like : q = q & !reset # set;

Let say in a PAL20R6A, now do I get rideoff the clock ? I need a strait SR latch :-)

If you don't need the clock, tie it to GND and leave it alone. The same holds for all flipflops with asynchrone preset and clear.

You don't. PALs are extremely obsolete - use a GAL, as each macrocell can be configured as synchronous or asynchronous.

If you really need to use a 20R6, use one of the two non-registered outputs.

configured as

That's what I concluded also :-) Some GALs seem to have SR latches :-)
