One technology for perman
One technology for permanently specifying the function of one of these devices is "anti-fuse" technology, in which high resistance links are "blown" to create shorts. Since they can be used to implement any function, these devices are more flexible than application-specific integrated circuits, but at the cost of requiring much more area and power. Unlike CPLDs, most of these devices use static RAM, meaning that they are volatile, and programming on these devices is usually done through the use of a hardware definition language such as Verilog. They consist of a switch matrix interconnecting an array of configurable logic blocks, from which these devices derive their name. First introduced by Xilinx, for ten points, identify these devices which can be used to quickly implement many different kinds of digital circuits.
