Altera’s second generation of its MAX family of CPLDs provides a nice illustration of the shift in architecture. MAX II drops the traditional macrocell structure, and moves to a four-input look-up ...

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 ...

Altera’s second generation of its MAX family of CPLDs provides a nice illustration of the shift in architecture. MAX II drops the traditional macrocell structure, and moves to a four-input look-up ...

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… ...

50 Percent Lower Cost Substantially Expands CPLD Market Opportunity San Jose, Calif., March 8, 2004—Altera Corporation (NASDAQ: ALTR), the number one supplier of complex programmable logic devices ...

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, ...

The MAX II CPLD family from Altera features an internal oscillator that dissipates much lower power than do external oscillators. The internal oscillator has an accuracy of only ±25%, sometimes ...

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 and determine ...

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 ...

PLD Family Bridges FPGA And CPLD Needs Sept. 1, 2005 These programmable-logic devices combine CPLD flash configurability with an FPGA lookup-table architecture for lower-cost, logic-intensive designs.
