“By combining some of the best attributes of CPLD technology and FPGA architecture, we’ve got a new type of device that we call a crossover programmable logic device because it really stands ...

During one of [Michael]’s many forum lurking sessions, he came across a discussion about frequency counting on a CPLD. He wondered if he could do the same on an FPGA, and how hard it would be to ...

In addition to these digital functions, FPGAs and CPLDs can also implement common analog functions using an LVDS input, a simple resistor capacitor (RC) circuit and some FPGA or CPLD digital logic ...

Figure 2 The FPGA/CPLD requires external drivers. The CPLD/FPGA cannot directly drive the motor, so it requires external drivers. The driver must arrive at the motor’s nominal voltage. The Schottky ...

The development board being used for this online course is an Altera EMP3032 CPLD conveniently included in the Introduction to FPGA and CPLD kit used in this course. It’s not a powerful device ...

You will cover a variety of topics, including Verilog, VHDL, and RTL design for FPGA and CPLD architectures; FPGA development tools flow; configurable embedded processors and embedded software; the ...

These programmable-logic devices combine CPLD flash configurability with an FPGA lookup-table architecture for lower-cost, logic-intensive designs. Applications traditionally supported by high ...

You will learn how to describe the difference between an FPGA, a CPLD, an ASSP, and an ASIC; recite the historical development of programmable logic devices; and design logic circuits using LUTs.

Altera has begun shipping the first member of its MAX II device family, the EPM1270. The device contains 1,270 logic elements, typically equivalent to 980 macrocells, said the firm, and 8kbit of ...

The idea may, of course, be implemented on any CPLD or FPGA. The VHDL source listing is available in the online version of this article at www.elecdesign.com.
