What is a CPLD?

A Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) is one of the popular programmable logic devices. The
others are Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), and Simple Programmable Logic Devices (SPLDs).

A CPLD is a type of programmable logic device that combines the features and functions of the
Programmable Array Logic (PAL) with the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA).

It is also made up of several Programmable Array Logic (PAL) structures, which are called macrocells.
These are the “building block” or “central component” of the CPLD.

By default, the CPLD has all of the input pins pointing to the macrocell, while the macrocell has its
dedicated output pin.

Technical Attributes of Xilinx XC2C384-10TQ144I

Here are some of the technical attributes or components of the Xilinx XC2C384-10TQ144I CPLD:

1. Moisture Sensitivity Level

Moisture Sensitivity Level or MSL is the level of exposure the Xilinx XC2C384-10TQ144I CPLD is likely
to be exposed to within a specific time. It is common if the device is exposed to ambient room conditions
within this time, especially after it has been unveiled for use.

The rated MSL for Xilinx XC2C384-10TQ144I is 3 and this translates to 168 hours to be exposed to
ambient room conditions from the time it is unveiled.

2. Type of Memory

Xilinx XC2C384-10TQ144I is a ROMless Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD). This means that
it doesn’t use the Random-Access Memory (RAM).

By default, when a programmable logic device is ROMless, it has to rely on an external memory. In that case,
Xilinx XC2C384-10TQ144I sources data via external memory options, such as a hard drive, a flash drive or
a Storage Device (SD) card.

3. Mounting Technology

Xilinx XC2C384-10TQ144I’s CPLD uses the Surface Mount Technology (SMT). The technology relies
on Surface Mount Devices (SMDs), which are used to mount or place the required components atop the
circuit.

4. Speed Grade

Speed grade, generally, is the delay or time it would likely take before the macrocell in the device can
perform optimally. It is called in nanoseconds or ns.

The speed grade also marks or highlights the “minimum guaranteed performance of the device.” This is
according to Xilinx. According to the manufacturer too, the rating doesn’t necessarily cover the maximum
performance of the chip.

Another important fact to note about the Xilinx XC2C384-10TQ144I CPLD’s speed grade is that it is rated
as 10. This means that it has a minimum delay of 10 nanoseconds to run through a macrocell.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Xilinx XC2C384-10TQ144I is one of the best Complex Programmable Logic Devices
(CPLDs) you can invest your money in. For a guaranteed buying decision and professional advice,
