 PAL is a programmable logic device that has
Programmable AND array & fixed OR array.
 The advantage of PAL is that
 we can generate only the required product terms
of Boolean function instead of generating all the
min terms by using programmable AND gates

 Here, the inputs of AND gates are programmable.
That means each AND gate has both normal and
complemented inputs of variables.
 So, based on the requirement, we can program
any of those inputs. So, we can generate only the
required product terms by using these AND
gates.
 Here, the inputs of OR gates are not of
programmable type. So, the number of inputs to
each OR gate will be of fixed type.
 Hence, apply those required product terms to
each OR gate as inputs. Therefore, the outputs of
PAL will be in the form of sum of products form.

 Solution:
 The given two functions are in sum of
products form.
 There are two product terms present in each
Boolean function.
 So, we require four programmable AND gates
& two fixed OR gates for producing those two
functions.

of required product terms, since all the outputs of
AND gates are applied as inputs to each OR gate.
 Therefore, the outputs of PAL will be in the form

 The given two functions are in sum of
products form.
 The number of product terms present in the
given Boolean functions A & B are two and
three respectively. One product term, XZ′ is
common in each function.
 So, we require four programmable AND gates
& two programmable OR gates for producing
those two functions.
