<p>A <b>programmable logic device</b> (<b>PLD</b>) is an <a href="page.php?w=electronics">electronic</a> component used to build <a href="page.php?w=Reconfigurable_computing">reconfigurable</a> <a href="page.php?w=digital_circuits">digital circuits</a>. Unlike digital logic constructed using discrete <a href="page.php?w=logic_gate">logic gate</a>s with fixed functions, the function of a PLD is undefined at the time of manufacture. Before the PLD can be used in a circuit it must be programmed to implement the desired function. Compared to fixed logic</p><p>
