Designing withProgrammable Logicin an Analog WorldProgrammable logic devices revolutionizeddigital design over 25 years ago,promising designers a blank chip todesign literally any function and programit in the field. PLDs can be low-logicdensity devices that use nonvolatilesea-of-gates cells called complexprogrammable logic devices (CPLDs)or they can be high-density devicesbased on SRAM look-up tables (LUTs)
