I'm looking for some suggestions/recommendations with CPLD's and development
software.
I'm new to CPLD's and a couple projects of mine will involve redesigning
existing "though hole" hardware using a CPLD. I've researching some Xilinx
products, and believe the 9500 series will do everything I need, as my needs
really aren't that great. My only issue with the ISE software is I need to
recreate all the TTL IC logic from scratch, which will prove to be very time
consuming. I was hoping to find a design package that would already have
existing "groups" of TTL logic designed so I won't have to take as much time
with the schematic design and layout. For example in ISE it took me about
15 minutes just to draw the logic to a 74LS245. Only took me 3 minutes to
"wire" it up.
Any recommendations on other companies, other software and your experiences
with them would be appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
