Abstract
A PLA is formed using configurable logic elements. A plurality of pages are used to store information defining logic configuration patterns required to perform desired logical functions. The configurable logic elements are configured by downloading information from a desired one or more of said pages. If desired, page control is achieved in response to input signals to the configurable logic array.
