The guys over at hackshed have been busy. [Carl] is making programmable logic design easy with an 8 part CPLD tutorial. (March 2018: Link dead. Try the Wayback Machine.) Programmable logic devices are ...

[PK] is working on a very simple video card, meant to output 640×480 VGA with a cheap CPLD. The interface will be 5 Volt SPI, meaning there’s a ton of potential here for anyone wanting put a ...

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, ...

Adding to the CoolRunner-II CPLD family, the XC2C32A and XC2C64A debut in smaller MLF packages than their predecessors and integrate an additional I/O bank to support voltage level translation and ...

A common industrial and consumer application is a system that samples an environmental condition, such as GPS (global-positioning-system) location, voltage, temperature, or light, at a wide interval, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
