Question

The difference between FPGA and PLD is that __________

(a) FPGA is slower than PLD

(b) FPGA has high power dissipation

(c) FPGA incorporates logic blocks

(d) All of the Mentioned

I have been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

I want to ask this question from Introduction of Memory Devices topic in division Memory Devices of Digital Circuits

Answer 1

Right answer is (c) FPGA incorporates logic blocks

The explanation is: The difference between FPGA and PLD is that FPGA incorporates logic blocks instead of fixed AND-OR gates and is faster with low power dissipation. FPGAs are designed for having higher gate count whereas, PLDs are used for lesser gate counts.
