Introduction to PLDs and
QUARTUS II
Programmable Logic Device
(PLD)
• Supplied with no predetermined logic
function.
• Programmed by user to implement any
digital logic function.
• Requires specialized computer software
for design and programming.

Advantages of Using PLDs
•
•
•
•
Saves on number of chips used.
Saves on different types of chips used.
Shortens the design process.

Complex PLD (CPLD)
• A PLD that has several programmable
sections with internal interconnections
between the sections.
• In effect, several interconnected PLDs
on a single chip.
4
PLD Programming
• Requires specialized computer software
(e.g., Altera’s Quartus II)
• Programmed through a series of steps
known as the PLD Design Cycle.

PLD Design Cycle - 1
• Design entry – enter the circuit design.
• Simulation – verify that the circuit
outputs correctly respond to the inputs.
• Compilation – create the required
design information for programming the
CPLD.
8
PLD Design Cycle - 2
• Fitting – determine which portions of
the CPLD to assign as circuitry for the
required design.
• Programming – configures the CPLD
to perform the desired logic function.

JEDEC
• Stands for Joint Electron Device
Engineering Council.

remain intact and which fuses should be
blown.

Outputs with Programmable
Polarities
• Allows for flexibility in the final design.
• Each output has a programmable XOR
gate associated with the output.

simulation process, they must then be
corrected before programming the design on
a CPLD.
