About Field-programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA)

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are integrated circuits (ICs) that contain an array of logic cells surrounded by programmable I/O blocks. FPGAs contain as many as tens of thousands of logic cells and an even greater number of flip-flops. Because of cost, field-programmable gate arrays do not provide a 100% interconnection between logic cells; however, FPGAs still provide significantly higher capacities than programmable logic devices (PLDs) that are interconnected through a central global routing pool. Often, design engineers use field-programmable gate arrays to program electrical connections through several iterations in order to minimize non-recurring costs. FPGAs are used in applications ranging from data processing and storage, to instrumentation, telecommunications, and digital signal processing. Other terms for FPGA include logic cell array (LCAs) and programmable application-specific integrated chip (pASIC).

Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLD)

Complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) are integrated circuits (ICs) or chips that application designers configure to implement digital hardware such as mobile phones. CPLDs can handle significantly larger designs than simple programmable logic devices (SPLDs), but provide less logic than field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).

Programmable Logic Devices (PLD)

Programmable logic devices (PLD) are designed with configurable logic and flip-flops linked together with programmable interconnect. PLDs provide specific functions, including device-to-device interfacing, data communication, signal processing, data display, timing and control operations, and almost every other function a system must perform.
