Dear all, Regarding a recent discussion on these devices (PLD PGA and FPGA) on the list, from what I can gather they are chips that have a lot of logic gates inside them that you can program into custom configurations using something like a schematic editor and a compiler. Is this a fair summary ? and also what is the difference between the three above mentioned devices? Regards Stuart -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
