even the datasheet has to be read twice to understand whether this is a
CPLD, EEPLD, FPLD, FPGA, with NOR/NAND/Antifuse program cells or
external boot PROM, with almost uncomparable figures of the transistor
equivalents, and whatever marketing invents in order to increase market
share and to distiguish the basically same ideas? ..
Well, at least someone seems to be trying to make the technology more
