Introduction to Programmable
Devices
, What is PLDs?
• IC that contains a large number of
interconnected logic functions.
• Users can program the IC for a specific
function by selectively breaking the
appropriate interconnections.
• PLD has replaced the hard-wired fixed-
function logic device in many applications.
