World's 1st FPGA Portal

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
