We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "CPLD",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Low-cost FPGAs offer dense logic and memory from
Xilinx, which we summarised at the time by saying "XA Spartan-3A FPGAs offer the highest number of I/O per logic cell with broad connectivity support, providing flexibility and scalability for I/O-intensive display and LED backlight
applications".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Complex PLDs cut power and package size from
Altera Europe: "MAX IIZ devices deliver the many benefits of CPLDs - including flexibility, faster time to market and board-level integration - to handsets and other portable applications".
In August 2007, we covered the news from NetBurner
concerning its PK70 Development Kit
- take a look at Kit offers easy route to embedded networking
which says: "Quickly customisable, embedded Ethernet platform includes all the hardware, software and tools needed to build a network aware product".
Take a look also at the news release from Embest Info and Tech Company, Two-part design eases controller interfacing,
as well as Development kit armed with STM processor support from Arrow Electronics (UK),
and Portable devices boost company profits from Xilinx.
