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 ...

That EPROMs, EEPROMs and kin can be used as programmable logic should probably not come as a major surprise, but [Jimmy] has created a Lisp-based project that makes using these chips as a logic ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Engineers can turn to compact programmable logic devices to reduce component counts and shrink PCB footprints in their ever-more-complex designs.

CPLDs (complex programmable logic devices) were the next evolutionary step. These tended to be register-oriented, and sometimes even contained “buried” registers – ones not directly associated with an ...

As programmable devices become larger, more complex, and include one or more processors, a huge need will open up for tools that take advantage of these features and optimize the designs. Hardware ...
