 Combinational and sequential circuit realization using
PROM based Programmable Logic Element (PLE)

Programmable Elements

 Fuse
 Antifuse
 Switches (Volatile and Non - Volatile)

Volatile – SRAM
Non- Volatile – EPROM, EEPROM

 FPAD or FPAA
Field Programmable Analog Device/ Array
FPAA is analog IC which is equivalent of FPGA.
It contain a small no. of CAB (Configuration Analog BLock).

CAB contain operational amplifier, programmable capacitor

array and resistor array for configurable switches for
switched capacitor circuits.

 FPID(FPIC)
Field Programmable Interconnect devices(chips)
 An FPIC is not really a logic device but rather a
programmable "wiring" device. Through programming, an
FPIC connects one pin on the device to another on the device
providing programmable interconnect.

 FPICs use either SRAM or anti-fuse programming

technology.
