Overview

For success in the world of portable application design, you need every possible advantage. CPLDs can provide that advantage—they are a fast, inexpensive, low-risk way to quickly customize off-the-shelf chipsets. In addition, CPLDs are often a faster alternative to expensive ASIC development. They are ideal for voltage level shifting in a mixed voltage environment, for general-purpose I/O pin expansion, and for bridging between different interface protocols.

See how designers of portable applications are using CPLDs to quickly create highly competitive, cutting-edge products. You'll learn 5 tips on how you can use Altera’s CPLDs to accelerate your next portable application design process, as well as:

  • Why CPLDs are used in high-volume portable applications.
  • How to choose the best technology and select the right tools
  • Where to find dozens of free reference design examples
  • How to get a free MAX II development kit
