In its third major and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) announcement in the last 12 months, Lattice Semiconductor Corp. has introduced MachXO, a new product family that combines the key features ...

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 migh… ...

The FPGA Xilinx released the FPGA (field-programmable gate array) into the wild ca. 1985, and 25 years later, the FPGA has become virtually synonymous with “programmable logic.” The guts of an FPGA is ...

The ADC is a common analog building block and almost always is needed when interfacing digital logic, like that in an FPGA or CPLD, to the 'real world' of analog sensors. This article will explain the ...

The expansion of PLDs to complex PLDs (CPLDs) hastened the trend, and the recent development of low-cost, fast, and very large field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) has nearly completed the process.

A US start-up has come up with a twist on the idea of offloading processor intensive tasks to a block of programmable logic. Stretch says programmers can use C and C++ to target its device directly, ...
