Redirect

Why isn't the PLA redirecting to the PAL articles, isn't it the same thing?

It's not. PAL is one company's implementation of PLA technology. PAL has programmable AND array and fixed OR array, while in PLA both are programmable.

Show discrete parts

It would be good to show the diodes in the array. There's such a lack of diodes being shown that I'm beginning to see people on the web misinterpreting the wired-and and wired-or as using conventional and/or gates with fuses on the inputs.

It would also be helpful to show the pullup and pulldown resistors in the illustration and mention that the pulldowns are weaker signals than the pullups.
