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 migh… ...

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 ...

Ultralight mountain rifles are a niche of their own, check out this sub-five-pound Ridgeline FFT Titanium review before you shop.

Designers of digital systems are familiar with implementing the 'leftovers' of their digital design by using FPGAs and CPLDs to glue together ...

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, ...

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 ...

Quadrature encoders have many uses in position-sensing applications. This implementation uses a Xilinx complex programmable logic device (CPLD) to count the pulses from the encoder ...

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 ...

This completes the rollout of the MAX II family, which is the industry?fs lowest-cost, highest-density and highest-performance CPLD offering. Engineers can now leverage the MAX II family for complex ...
