Complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) contain the building blocks for hundreds of 7400-serries logic ICs. Complete circuits can be designed on a PC and then uploaded to a CPLD for instant ...

The PAL family continued to evolve into the late 1980s, with faster, lower-power devices, including ones that could be reprogrammed. The most complex device type developed was probably the PAL22V10, ...

Programmable logic devices have claimed their place in the hobbyist world, with more and more projects showing up that feature either a CPLD or their bigger sibling, the FPGA. That place is rightfully ...

Programmable logic has come a long way from the simple devices we started out with. Remember Programmable Array Logic, or PALs? In bipolar technology the ICC on even a small PAL was over 100mA, and ...

The umbrella term “logic devices” subdivides into several categories: discrete logic, simple and complex PLDs, FPGAs, and standard- and custom-cell ASICs. FPGAs, SPLDs/PALs, and CPLDs are all ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. For market growth to occur at desired levels, suppliers must meet consumer demand for compact electronic devices that integrate multiple functions. To ...

When the programmable logic device first appeared in the first half of the 1980s, it was used almost entirely as a means of fixing design errors – the so called 'glue logic'. But with evolutions in ...

Eight new reference designs, a $49 development kit for the ProcessorPM POWR605 power manager device, and a $69 ispMACH 4000ZE Pico Development Kit are now available. The new kits are ideal for ...

Microchip’s CLB-based PIC® MCUs combine programmable logic and embedded control in a single device to help reduce latency, ...
