These are devices that are used in electronic circuits to make reconfiguration of the same possible. The logical gates that are normally used perform a fixed function however, the Programmable Logic Devices (PLD) does not perform any predefined task when they are manufactured and need to be programmed before they can be used.
Before the introduction [...]

Probably everyone knows what are logical IC’s and how to use them in the design. But if design is more complex, electronics enthusiasts more likely are going to choose microcontrollers as they minimizes the count of external components. But problem is that not everything is possible with microcontrollers. They have many disadvantages when fast response [...]

In a market you can find a bunch of programmable logic devices – PLD. They can be small scale integrated – SSI, medium scale integrated- MSI, mask programmed gate array – MPGA (MPGD – masked programmable logic devices). Now the most popular are FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays).
What is a difference between FPGA and [...]
