It's more like a "unprogrammed" PLA that hasn't even been programmed. Right, I am not even considering the CPU embedded in the FPGA (or is it the FPGA embedded in the CPU). PLA are only programmable once, so it is arguably more like a GAL But they have nothing in common in terms of complexity or functionality. FPGA are useful because they have so many gates that you can throw complex source code at a compiler & it can assign a load of gates to achieve the functionality that you desire. It's like how high level languages are more useful on a computer with a fast cpu and lots of ram.Received on 2021-02-26 19:02:49
