Microchip Technology is expanding its CLB–based MCU portfolio. The families combine CPLD-like programmable logic and an MCU ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. For market growth to occur at desired levels, suppliers must meet consumer demand for compact electronic devices that integrate multiple functions. To ...

AI/ML and agentic tools are getting better at helping design and compile FPGAs, but downstream programming is slower to benefit. FPGAs historically have been designed using Verilog or VHDL, but higher ...

After one of my engineers told me that she had found a typo in her hardware, I thought just how far design has come in the last 30 years and more. Back then, the analog section of a system consisted ...

New microcontrollers embed CPLD-like logic blocks, enabling deterministic timing, lower latency and reduced system cost for ...

Aiming at motor control, industrial automation and automotive safety applications, they seek to combine Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD)-like programmable logic and an MCU in a single, ...

For well over a generations of digital designers, programmable logic has been a key charm in their bag of tricks. The ability to procedurally and systematically replace what otherwise would be ...

This post sponsored by Texas Instruments. Programmable logic has been around since the days when new 8-bit microcontrollers were flourishing. And while 8-bit microcontrollers are still flourishing, ...

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 ...

The IEEE engineering milestone for the FPGA recognized this device for enabling more rapid economical chip design and modern electronic applications.

Microchip’s CLB-based PIC® MCUs combine programmable logic and embedded control in a single device to help reduce latency, ...

Programmable logic has come a long way from the simple devices we started out with. Remember Programmable Array Logic, or PALs? In bipolar technology the ICC on even a small PAL was over 100mA, and ...
