Talk:Complex programmable logic device

Are CPLDs actually used for bootstrapping FPGAs? I'd thought that was almost exclusively done using external serial PROMs and dedicated bootstrap hardware on the FPGAs (and via on-board microprocessor for the few widgets built to be in-flight reconfigurable). --Christopher Thomas 04:33, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

sum of products versus disjunctive normal form

I notice that sum-of-products is directed to disjunctive normal form. While disjunctive normal form is a boolean sum (or) of a boolean product (and), I would not consider them synonymous; rather sum-of-products expressions is a category which disjunctive normal form forms an example of. In any case, perhaps someone who knows the proper Wikipedia conventions for linking similar and/or synonymous topics could clean this up? mjscud 18:42, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
