Use a CPLD in your Next Design
CPLDs or Complex Programmable Logic Devices are the next extension to the PLD market. They are today's technological stepping stone between a handful of discrete gates and a full custom design. What's more, the silicon manufacturers are so interested in beginning engineers down the path of brand loyalty, that one & two quantity pricing is around five dollars for surprisingly powerful devices. At the same time, entry level software...

Getting Started with CPLDs
What is a CPLD? A CPLD is a combination of a fully programmable AND/OR array and a bank of macrocells. The AND/OR array is reprogrammable and can perform a multitude of logic functions. Macrocells are functional blocks that perform combinatorial or sequential logic, and also have the added flexibility for true or complement, along with varied feedback paths.
