    This document discusses high-density programmable logic devices (HDPLDs), which include complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) and field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). It describes the two major elements of CPLDs and FPGAs as logic elements and an interconnect structure. CPLDs consist of multiple PAL or GAL devices on a chip and have predictable timing, while FPGAs offer the highest logic density and performance but less predictable timing. The document compares CPLDs and FPGAs, noting that CPLDs are best for control applications due to predictable timing, while FPGAs support a wider range of applications.

    HIGH-DENSITY

    PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC
    DEVICES
    (HDPLDS)

    High Density Programmable Logic


    Devices (HDPLDs)

    The main disadvantage for the SPLD is an


    architectural limitation.
    Today, SPLDs are devices that typically
    contain the equivalent of 600 or fewer gates,
    while HDPLDs have thousands and hundreds
    of thousands of gates available.
    Also called as high-capacity PLDs (HCPLDs),
    have 2 types including Complex PLDs
    (CPLDs) and Field Programmable Gate
    Arrays (FPGAs).

    Two Major Elements

    The two major elements of CPLDs and


    FPGAs are the logic elements and the
    interconnect structure.
    The logic elements are also known as

    macrocells, logic cells and/or logic blocks.


    The interconnect structure is how those elements
    are connected together to perform the design for
    a specific application.

    Two Types of HDPLDs

    Complex Programmable Logic Devices


    (CPLDs)

    Field Programmable Gate Arrays


    (FPGAs).

    Complex Programmable Logic


    Devices (CPLDs)

    is combination of multiple PAL or GAL type


    devices on a single chip
    CPLD architectures consists of
    - Macrocells
    - configurable flip-flop (D, T, JK or SR)
    - Output enable/clock select
    - Feedback select
    CPLD has predictable time delay because
    of hierarchical inter-connection

    Complex Programmable Logic


    Devices (CPLDs)

    easy to route, very fast turnaround


    device is erasable and programmable with
    non-volatile EPROM or EEPRO
    configuration.
    wide designer acceptance
    relatively mature technology, but some
    innovation still ongoing

    Of the two types of HCPLD devices, FPGAs offer the


    highest amount of logic density, the most features,
    and the highest performance.
    FPGAs are used in a wide variety of applications
    ranging from data processing and storage, to
    instrumentation, telecommunications, and digital
    signal processing.
    CPLDs, by contrast, offer much smaller amounts of
    logic - up to about 10,000 gates. But CPLDs offer very
    predictable timing characteristics and are therefore
    ideal for critical control applications. Some CPLDs
    require extremely low amounts of power and are very
    inexpensive, making them ideal for cost-sensitive,
    battery-operated, portable applications such as mobile
    phones and digital handheld assistants.
