The CMOS EPROM EP312 and EP324 devices have a versatile macrocell structure and I/O architecture, which allow them to implement highperformance logic functions effectively. The EP312 and EP324 input and macrocell features are a superset of features offered by PAL/GAL devices. Therefore, EP312 and EP324 devices can be used as an alternative to multiple PAL/GAL devices, SSI and MSI logic devices, or low-end gate arrays.
