programmable logic device , PLD (Abkürzung)

Programmable logic devices have been around since the 1970's.

Therefore, in small volume products, programmable logic devices are often the preferred solution.

Multiplexers can also be used as components of programmable logic devices.

In the 1980s, programmable logic devices were developed.

GE obtained several early patents on programmable logic devices.

McCormack proposed a total redesign of the processor using a programmable logic device based Microsequencer.

According to market research firm iSuppli, Xilinx has held the lead in programmable logic device market share since the late 1990s.

Programmable Logic Devices.

Altera Quartus is a programmable logic device design software from Altera.

The falling price of programmable logic devices, combined with their reduced size and power consumption (compared to discrete components), is making them common even for simple systems.

Larger-scale programmable logic devices were introduced by Atmel, Lattice Semiconductor, and others.

Another large programmable logic device is the "field-programmable gate array" or FPGA.

Cypress now plans to concentrate on static RAMs, programmable logic devices and its high-performance niche product lines.

A programmable logic device or PLD is an electronic component used to build reconfigurable digital circuits.

An HDL description can also be prototyped and tested in hardware - programmable logic devices are often used for this purpose.

"Revenue growth was led by flash memories, Microsoft Windows compatible microprocessors, and programmable logic devices from our Vantis division," he said.

Complex programmable logic device (CPLD)

By the late 1970s, design using programmable logic device (PLD)'s became popular, although these designs were primarily limited to design finite state machines.

Since the rise of reconfigurable programmable logic devices, sharing of logic designs has been a form of open-source hardware.

Simple programmable logic device (SPLD)

Programmable logic device (PLD)

They are becoming very common on FPGA - such programmable logic devices being especially well fitted for parallel data processing algorithms.

Erasable programmable logic device (EPLD)

This can be effectively implemented with programmable logic devices (PLD), for example those manufactured by Altera Corp.

He said the company would continue to develop and produce Eproms, or electronically programmable read-only memory, devices, as well as programmable logic devices.
