Abstract
A programmable logic device (PLD) includes a programmable fabric, a plurality of input/output (I/O) blocks, and a plurality of high voltage power field effect transistors (FETs). The PLD can be programmed to connect one or more of the plurality of I/O blocks, one or more of the plurality of high voltage power transistors via the programmable fabric. Each of the plurality of high voltage power transistors includes a drain pad and a source pad that are exposed via external pins of the PLD.
Claims15
A programmable logic device (PLD) comprising:
- a programmable fabric including a plurality of logic elements and a plurality of routing channels;
