If you read my first post about a simple CPLD do-it-yourself project you may remember that I seriously wiffed when I made the footprint 1” wide, which was a bit too wide for common solderless ...

A Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) is a great piece of hardware to have in your repertoire. As its name implies, you can program these chips to serve the logic functions you need. This might ...

An earlier Idea For Design (Hardware-Based LED Blinking Control Eliminates Software Overhead) described a very interesting way to offload the software overhead required for a microcontroller to drive ...

Aiming at motor control, industrial automation and automotive safety applications, they seek to combine Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD)-like programmable logic and an MCU in a single, ...

In a programmable logic world increasingly populated by FPGAs, is there still a place for the humble Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLD)? Well, the folks at Lattice Semiconductor certainly think ...

All CPLD architectures allow for multiple passes through the array in order to satisfy the logical OR requirements of a large number of product terms. However, some CPLDs apply speed penalties during ...

Perhaps one of the greater debates among the ancient Greeks involved the status of the number zero. The fundamental question was how something could be nothing, leading to great philosophical and ...

It is increasingly common for Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLDs) to be used in systems with stringent power budgets. Examples include smart phones, handheld instrumentation, video recording ...

Although the Altera MAX IIZ CPLD is a digital programmable logic device, it is versatile enough to control analog systems. This article shows how MAX IIZ CPLDs – alone or with a few passive ...
