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 ...
The guys over at hackshed have been busy. [Carl] is making programmable logic design easy with an 8 part CPLD tutorial. (March 2018: Link dead. Try the Wayback Machine.) Programmable logic devices are ...
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 ...
An earlier Idea For Design (Hardware-Based LED Blinking Control Eliminates Software Overhead) described a very interesting way to offload the software overhead required for a microcontroller to drive ...
In a programmable logic world increasingly populated by FPGAs, is there still a place for the humble Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLD)? Well, the folks at Lattice Semiconductor certainly think ...
ispMACH 4000ZE CPLDs Address Increasing Demand for Small, Low Power and Low Cost Portable Products HILLSBORO, OR - APRIL 28, 2008 - Lattice Semiconductor (NASDAQ: LSCC) today announced its new, ultra ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
