What is another word for PLD?
Pronunciation: [pˌiːˌɛldˈiː] (IPA) 
PLD, or Programmable Logic Device, is a type of digital logic integrated circuit that can be programmed to perform specific logic functions. Additionally, there are many synonyms for the term "PLD", including Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD), and Static Random Access Memory (SRAM)-based FPGA. FPGA is a type of PLD that offers more flexibility and power as it can implement complex hardware designs. CPLD is a type of PLD with a more limited range of logic, therefore requiring less power consumption and suitable for smaller projects. Meanwhile, SRAM-based FPGA is a PLD that provides rapid reconfiguration times. Despite each category's slight differences, these synonyms can be generally used interchangeably to refer to PLDs.
