Making Large Programmable Logic Circuits
Alternative 1 : “CPLD”
- put a lot of PLDS on a chip
- add wires between them whose connections can be programmed
- use fuse/EEPROM technology
Alternative 2: “FPGA”
- emulate gate array technology
- hence Field Programmable Gate Array
- you need:
- a way to implement logic gates
- a way to connect them together
