Simple Programmable

Logic Devices ( SPLDs)

Digital ICs
Digital ICs are usually of three types.
• Fixed function ICs
• ASICs( Application Specific ICs)
• PLDs(Programmable Logic Devices)

Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLDs)

A CPLD comprises
multiple circuit
blocks on a single
chip, with internal
wiring resources to
connect the circuit
blocks. Each circuit
block is similar to a
PLA or a PAL like
blocks.
