Basic Architecture Types

FPGA - Field Programmable Gate Array

CPLD - Complex Programmable Logic Device

SPLD - Simple Programmable Logic Device
CSoC - Configurable System-on-Chip

Basic Process Technology Types

SRAM - based on static memory technology. In-system programmable and re-programmable. Requires external boot devices. Usually CMOS.

Anti-fuse - One-time programmable. CMOS.

EPROM - Electrically Programmable Read-Only Memory technology. Usually one-time programmable in production because of plastic packaging. Windowed devices can be erased with ultraviolet (UV) light. CMOS.

EEPROM - Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read-Only Memory technology. Can be erased, even in plastic packages. Some, but not all, EEPROM devices can be in-system programmed. CMOS.

FLASH - Flash-erase EPROM technology. Can be erased, even in plastic packages. Some, but not all, FLASH devices can be in-system programmed. Usually, a FLASH cell is smaller than an equivalent EEPROM cell and is therefore less expensive to manufacture. CMOS.

Fuse - One-time programmable. Bipolar.
