So I want to program a PAL device as a Hex-to-7-Segment Display (for academic reasons and connecting with the distant-past
Reading Chapter 8 - Karnaugh Mapping, I came across the following statement.
"The SOP solution is usually better if using the TTL logic family, as NAND gates are the basic building block, which works well with SOP implementations. On the other hand, A POS solution would be acceptable when using the CMOS logic family since all sizes of NOR gates are available."
I'm still unclear why one would use SOP over POS, generally speaking. Also, why is SOP better for TTL logic if I'm going to program a PAL.
