PLD

(Programmable Logic Device) A logic chip that is
programmed at the customer's site. There are a wide
variety of PLD techniques; however, most PLDs are
compatible with the PAL method from Advanced
Micro Devices.

The PLD is not a storage chip like a PROM or
EPROM, although fuse-blowing techniques are used. It
contains different configurations of AND, OR and
NOR gates that are "blown" together. Contrast with
gate array, which requires a manufacturing process to
complete the programming.
