a) Compare between Programmable Logic Devices (PLD) (Programmable Logic Array(PLA)/ Programmable Array Logic (PAL)), Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), and Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC). Your comparison should include, but not

be limited to: IC Structure Programmability Time to Market Price Complexity The comparison essay should not be longer than 300-words, and table/tables,equations, bullet points and schematics can be used.(6 marksl b)Derive the Boolean expression and define the truth table for the output 'Q' with respect to inputs A, B and C for the logic circuit shown in Figure Q3. Use the Boolean Algebra to optimize the design in Figure Q3, redraw the new logic circuit, and verify the equivalency. Draw a schematic diagram for the function 'Z': Z=\overline{((A . B)+C) . D}
