Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs) are a type of hardware used in the design of digital systems. They are used to store and execute instructions, and are often used to replace complex logic circuits. PLDs are typically used in applications such as industrial automation, automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics.
PLDs are typically programmed using a hardware description language (HDL) such as Verilog or VHDL. This allows the user to create a design that can be implemented in the PLD. The design is then loaded into the PLD, which can then be used to control the system.
PLDs are available in a variety of sizes and configurations, and can be used to implement a wide range of digital systems. They are also used in the development of embedded systems, which are used in a variety of applications.
Some of the companies in the PLD market include Altera, Xilinx, Lattice Semiconductor, Microsemi, and Atmel. Show Less Read more
