Thanks. It looks like this is exactly what I need. On Thu, Jun 2, 2011 at 10:39 AM, Mark Carlson wrote: > Sounds like a CPLD may be a better solution. They are also easier to > get in low pin count packages. The older models also come in packages > that can be socketed, if that is of any concern

I have a 100ns window to latch on and my micro is not fast enough. I don't want to go to a faster micro for many reason including power, size, cost. On Thu, Jun 2, 2011 at 10:57 AM, wrote: > > Sounds like a CPLD may be a better solution. They are also easier to > > get in low pin count packages.

Sounds like a CPLD may be a better solution. They are also easier to get in low pin count packages. The older models also come in packages that can be socketed, if that is of any concern. The Altera MAX devices are an option, and the Quartus II Web Edition software is either free or not too expens

A part. I need to solve a high speed logic issue with a circuit I am designing. Currently I am solving it using a bunch of XOR and NAND gate IC's but they are taking up 30% of my board realistate and I am looking for a small package solution to replace them with so I can get some space back. I am t

Are you looking to develop a product / part of a product, or just tinkering? On Thu, Jun 2, 2011 at 10:13 AM, Royce Souther wrote: > Anyone doing development with FPGA's? I am looking for a small package with > less then 100 IO pins and an SDK. Having a hard time finding anything that > small wit

Anyone doing development with FPGA's? I am looking for a small package with less then 100 IO pins and an SDK. Having a hard time finding anything that small with an SDK. Would also like to keep the SDK under $1000. -- Easy, fast GUI development. http://PerlQt.wikidot.com _
