What is Programmable Logic?
Logic devices provide specific functions, including device-to-device interfacing, data communication, signal processing, data display, timing and control operations, and almost every other function a system must perform.

Complex programmable logic device @ Wikipedia
A complex programmable logic device (CPLD) is a programmable logic device with complexity between that of PALs and FPGAs, and architectural features of both. The building block of a CPLD is the macro cell, which contains logic implementing disjunctive normal form expressions and more specialized logic operations. Features in common with PALs: Non-volatile configuration memory. Unlike many FPGAs, an external configuration ROM isn't...

Programmable Logic - WikiBook
This book will cover the design and implementation of programmable logic devices (PLDs) using the Verilog, VHDL, and System C Hardware description languages. This book would also like to look at programming a variety of specific programmable devices, such as FPGA and CPLD devices. Contents intended to be covered are: Programming HDL, Concurrent programming and synthesis. A Previous knowledge of programming a high-level language is assumed....

Programmable logic device @ Wikipedia
A programmable logic device or PLD is an electronic component used to build digital circuits. Unlike a logic gate, which has a fixed function, a PLD has an undefined function at the time of manufacture. Before the PLD can be used in a circuit it must be programmed. It is impossible to discuss PLD technology without mentioning some of the companies involved in its development. However, it is not the purpose of this article to list all...

Getting Started with Programmable Logic
For the purpose of this discussion, I'll talk about programmable logic devices (PLDs) as a broad category of ICs that can be programmed by the user to perform different functions. These aren't software programmable ICs like microprocessors, though. In practice, there are several types of PLDs including CPLDs (complex PLDs) and FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays). From our point of view, all these chips are basically the same, and differ...

Low-Power Design with CPLDs
This EduCast introduces the ispMACH4000ZE CPLD which brings the benefits of programmable logic to designers of low-power electronic systems. A detailed description of the new, low-power features of this product are presented in the EduCast. In addition, the ispMACH4000ZE is based on the popular ispMACH4000 architecture, a reliable mainstay in the CPLD industry for general purpose logic applications.
