Reliable programmable ICs: The advantages of CPLDs
CPLDs (Complex Programmable Logic Devices) are programmable ICs that allow complex logic functions to be implemented. They are also known as programmable logic circuits. The predecessors of CPLDs were the Programmable Array Logics (PALs) and the Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Compared to their predecessors, CPLDs have a much simpler design. In addition, unlike FPGAs, for example, CPLDs do not lose their programming information in the event of a voltage interruption. The reason for this is that the way CPLDs work is based on so-called EEPROM technology (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory).
From the control of industrial processes and use in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) to the optimization of communication systems - CPLDs are used wherever fast, reliable and adaptable solutions are required.
In the production of CPLDs, attention is paid to the highest precision and quality to guarantee a long service life and high reliability.
