Difference between bullet loan and PIK bond

Hi guys,

what is the difference between a bullet loan and a PIK bond? The principal payment is due at the end of maturity in both cases right? As well as the accrued interest which has to be paid at the end? 

I don't know exactly where the difference is. Maybe I just interpreted the concepts wrong.

Would be glad if someone can help.

Thanks.
