Process Technologies
Early PALs were 20-pin DIP components fabricated in silicon using bipolar transistor technology with one-time programmable (OTP) titanium-tungsten programming fuses. Later devices were manufactured by Lattice Semiconductor and Advanced Micro Devices using CMOS technology.
The original 20 and 24-pin PALs were described by MMI as medium-scale integration (MSI) devices.

Famous quotes containing the word process:
“To exist as an advertisement of her husband’s income, or her father’s generosity, has become a second nature to many a woman who must have undergone, one would say, some long and subtle process of degradation before she sunk [sic] so low, or grovelled so serenely.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
