Abstract
Apparatus and method for decoding computer operation codes. The operation code is decoded into a single product term in the AND array of a programmable logic array. That single product term is then processed through a clock driven sequencer to generate a plurality of sequential product terms. These sequential product terms are decoded by the OR array of the programmable logic array to generate a plurality of sequential time states comprising the decoded operation code.
