I would agree that a CPLD would probably be more appropriate, however may be that your 'problem' can also be solved by a micro depending on the complexity of the logic and required speed. For those who don't know a CPLD is basically a set of D-Type latches fed with AND/OR matrix, which can be configured to perform logic functions or even to run simple state machines. A FPGA is more versatile, but generally a lot more complex/expensive.
