1. Standard logic, ASICs, microprocessor 2. Speed 3. Application-specific integrated circuit 4. Programmable logic devices, gate arrays, standard cells, full custom 5. High-capacity programmable logic device 6. (1) Logic blocks: programmable AND/fixed-OR CPLD versus look-up table FPGA (2) Signal routing resources: uniform CPLD versus varied FPGA 7. Volatility refers to whether a PLD (or memory device) loses stored information when it is powered-down.
