CPLD Design Services
Founded in 1985 by one of the original Xilinx Field Application Engineers, the continuing mission of Bottom Line Technologies Inc (BLT) is to offer our Clients premium quality design services on aggressive schedules at an competitive price.

CPLD design presents challenges significantly different than those for FPGAs. CPLDs are usually register-limited in comparison to FPGAs, but have the capacity for very complex combinatorial logic within a single macrocell. This allows a complex function to propagate very quickly -- often faster than in an FPGA of equivalent speed grade. CPLDs are also typically non-volatile, requiring no external source of configuration data, such as a PROM. For many applications, they are the least expensive, and may result in the physically smallest implementation using programmable logic.

However, as the amount of logic grows to approach the resource limits of a CPLD, some bottlenecks can occur, challenging even an experienced designer:
  • Maintaining fixed pinouts, while making even moderate architectural changes, may result in the inability to implement (place and route) the design.
  • Frequently, the designer will encounter a resource tradeoff between registers, macrocells, product terms, and product term allocation logic.
  • Reducing the number of registers by making an architectural change, in an attempt to successfully implement the part, may result in overuse of the other resources.
  • A high utilization of one or more key resources may force a designer to become familiar with product/input term limits and their affects, a time-consuming process.
  • Successful CPLD implementation can prove sensitive to the effects of logic structures produced by different synthesis tools.
