Designing withProgrammable Logicin an Analog WorldProgrammable logic devicesrevolutionized digital design over 25years ago, promising designers a blankchip to design literally any functionand program it in the field. PLDs canbe low-logic density devices that usenonvolatile sea-of-gates cells calledcomplex programmable logic devices(CPLDs) or they can be high-densitydevices based on SRAM look-up tables
