PALs & GALs are also relatively simple components programmable using non-proprietary hw & sw.
There are some FPGA families supported by fully open source toolchain today.
And there's CPLDs, which fall in between complexity wise.
Any of those would offer much shorter propagation delays (read: higher clocks) than EEPROMs.
- techdragon 3y agoI recently contemplated using a CPLD for a project and discovered that (at least the ones I was able to find suppliers and documentation for) are even less open source friendly than FPGAs are, none of the CPLDs I found seemed to have any open source tooling that I could find. I would love to be corrected on this because other than proprietary tooling that only supports windows … a CPLD seemed perfect for this project.
