Digital design using erasable PLDs
Parag K. Lala · 2003
The author considers the impact of the newer generations of PLDs (programmable logic devices) on digital design. Particular attention is given to the features of the AND-OR-structured PLDs. It is concluded that the variety of PLDs on the market has given a novel perspective to digital system design. Gate capacities are increasing continuously and reprogrammable architectures are being proposed. Coupled with the dramatic improvements in bipolar and CMOS processes, PLDs now offer greater density, higher speed, and lower power consumption.>
