PLD

With the technological progress, programmable logic devices (PLD) are more available. Practically 1/4 of freelance projects made by us contain at least a simple CPLD unit. Considering current prices of these elements it is advisable (especially in small lot production) to implement a programmable circuit which could replace even 3-4 integrated circuits. It is also worthwhile installing PLD where it could replace a system that is difficult to obtain.

The usage of PLD circuit instead of a standard logic circuit has two more crucial advantages:

• Reconfiguration potential – changes in functionality of a given part of the circuit does not require additional costs of new PCB implementation.
• Project's better protection – implementing PLD makes unauthorized copying of a project more difficult.

We often use simple programmable circuit to replace gates and counters.We have also produced a complex circuit in FPGA structure acting as a complete driver of graphic TFT display.
