PLD (Programmable Logic Device) : - All Layers Already Exist

An FPGA is a type of PLD that allows designers to purchase an IC and program its connections to implement a desired functionality, providing benefits of low NRE costs and almost instant IC availability but with drawbacks of being bigger, more expensive, power hungry, and slower than an ASIC.
