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 ...
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 might ...
Traditionally, the term “low power” and “programmable logic” have not been used in the same context. However, the advent of zero-power CPLDs transformed the discussion, as this technology brings many ...
It is increasingly common for Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLDs) to be used in systems with stringent power budgets. Examples include smart phones, handheld instrumentation, video recording ...
An earlier Idea For Design (“Hardware-Based LED Blinking Control Eliminates Software Overhead,” Sept. 27, 2007, p. 52) described a very interesting way to offload the software overhead required for a ...
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 the ...
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 ...
Designers of digital systems are familiar with implementing the 'leftovers' of their digital design by using FPGAs and CPLDs to glue together various processors, memories, and standard function ...
