• Using a hardware solution for your digital system design is always faster than a software solution.
• Most complex digital designs include a mix of different hardware categories.
• With microcomputer/DSP systems, devices can be electronically controlled and data can be manipulated by executing a program of instructions that has been written for the application.
• The SRAM technology is volatile.
• PLDs cannot meet all the possible requirements of complex digital circuitry.
• The GAL chip uses an EEPROM array that is erasable and reprogrammable at least 1000 times.
• In a PLD, a blown fuse at an OR gate is a LOW and a blown fuse at an AND gate is a HIGH.
