Complex programmable logic device @ Wikipedia
A complex programmable logic device (CPLD) is a programmable logic device with complexity between that of PALs and FPGAs, and architectural features of both.
The building block of a CPLD is the macro cell, which contains logic implementing disjunctive normal form expressions and more specialized logic operations.
Features in common with PALs: Non-volatile configuration memory.
Unlike many FPGAs, an external configuration ROM isn't...

Programmable logic device @ Wikipedia
A programmable logic device or PLD is an electronic component used to build digital circuits.
Unlike a logic gate, which has a fixed function, a PLD has an undefined function at the time of manufacture.
Before the PLD can be used in a circuit it must be programmed.
It is impossible to discuss PLD technology without mentioning some of the companies involved in its development.
However, it is not the purpose of this article to list all...
