FPGA and CPLD are compared based on 11 parameters. FPGA uses look up tables in its fine grain architecture with around 100,000 blocks, SRAM for memory, and is more complex and costly than CPLD. CPLD uses logic functions in its course grain architecture with fewer blocks, EPROM for memory, and is less complex and costly than FPGA. A key difference is that the program stays in CPLD after power off but is lost in FPGA.
Photolithography is a process used to produce circuit patterns on a silicon layer. It involves two key steps - photographic masking, where a mask containing the desired pattern is used to project UV light onto the silicon wafer, and photographic etching, where either wet etching using chemicals or dry etching using more UV light is used to remove the exposed areas of the layer based on the pattern. The process allows transferring circuit designs onto silicon wafers using UV light and etching.
This document discusses the evolution of logic complexity in integrated circuits over time.

WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) is a technology that increases the capacity of an optical fiber by allowing multiple signals of different wavelengths to be transmitted through the same fiber.

Key components of a WDM network include optical line terminals and optical add/drop multiplexers. Important WDM technologies are thin film filters, fused fiber couplers, and arrayed waveguide gratings. Key features of WDM include wavelength reuse, wavelength conversion, transparency, circuit switching, and survivability.
