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 ...

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 ...

Applications traditionally supported by high-density complex programmable-logic devices (CPLDs) and low-capacity FPGAs now have another option—the MachXO series of logic devices. Developed by Lattice ...

This Design Idea further develops a previous one integrating a stepper-motor driver in a CPLD (Reference 1). However, this idea integrates not only the driver, but also a simple one-axis stepper-motor ...

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 ...

Designers of digital systems are familiar with implementing the 'leftovers' of their digital design by using FPGAs and CPLDs to glue together various processors, memories, and standard function ...
