Whether designing for communications, consumer, computing, or industrial applications, MAX® II CPLDs offer low power and low prices, making them the ideal solution for complex control applications.
As shown in Table 1, common control path functions can be divided into four main categories: interface bridging, I/O expansion, system configuration, and power-up sequencing.
