CPLDs (Complex Programmable Logic Devices)

CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) ICs represent a highly reliable class of programmable logic that bridges the gap between simple PAL/GAL devices and high-density FPGAs. Characterized by non-volatile configuration memory (instant-on capability at power-up) and highly deterministic timing characteristics, CPLDs are the industry standard for board control, power supply sequencing, interface level translation, address decoding, and custom glue logic on complex system boards.

Unlike FPGAs, CPLDs store their configuration on-chip, eliminating the need for external boot PROMs and reducing board startup times. Engineers select CPLDs based on logic density (macrocells), available user I/O pins, propagation delay (measured in nanoseconds), operating voltage, and low static power consumption.
