[help] CPLD implementation

[jjeevan007]

hi,

i am new CPLD and FPGA,

i want to how to start with CPLD and

what are the software tools required,

if write a code for FGPA will it work for CPLD

Can i implement the Basic gate, Mux , Adders, Subtractor and Shift register using CPLD or not,


i think i may asked very stupid question because i am very new to this,

regards,
jeevan

Most programmable logic vendors, e.g. Altera, Lattice, Xilinx have free synthesis tools that support both CPLD and FPGA. The said functions can be implemented with CPLD, but number of required logic elements respectively CPLD macro cells might seriously restrict the design size. You can implement a design first and then try out which device will be sufficient in the synthesis tool.
