About AMD

AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) is a globally recognized leader in semiconductor innovation, with decades of expertise in programmable logic solutions. Their CoolRunner series set industry benchmarks for power efficiency and design flexibility in complex programmable devices.

Renowned for rigorous quality standards, AMD components deliver consistent performance in critical applications. PCX partners directly with trusted manufacturers to source authentic AMD ICs, ensuring genuine parts for your engineering projects.

About CPLDs

Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLDs) provide reconfigurable digital circuit implementation, bridging the gap between discrete logic and FPGAs. They excel in state machine control, I/O expansion, and timing-critical tasks with deterministic latency.

CPLDs offer non-volatile configuration storage and instant-on operation, making them indispensable for system initialization, protocol conversion, and hardware patching. Their reprogrammability enables design revisions without board respins, reducing development costs.

Packaging

Available in factory-sealed tray packaging. Contact PCX for bulk or special handling requirements.

FAQs

Q: Is this CPLD still usable despite being obsolete?
A: Yes – PCX maintains stock of authentic obsolete components for legacy system maintenance and lifecycle extension.

Q: What does “In-System Programmable” mean?
A: The device can be reprogrammed while soldered to your PCB, supporting at least 1,000 program/erase cycles for field updates.

Q: What voltage does this CPLD require?
A: It operates at 3.3V nominal with a 3V–3.6V tolerance range – ideal for mixed-voltage systems.

Q: How does this compare to an FPGA?
A: CPLDs offer faster deterministic timing and lower power consumption than FPGAs for medium-complexity logic, though with lower gate density.

Q: Can I get a datasheet for this part?
A: Download the full datasheet from PCXCo.com/datasheets (hosted for your convenience).
