FPGA vs CPLD

What are the similarities between CPld and FPGA?
The CPLD is similar to PAL while FPGA resembles Gate array. FPGA technology is denser than CPLD. The FPGA works in a faster manner, and its speed is predictable. On the contrary, the speed of CPLD entirely depends on the application it is used for.
What are the use cases for CPld and FPGA?
FPGA devices are more likely used in the designs where the changes are frequently applied, whereas CPLD used in situations where simple glue-logic is needed and when instant-on circuits are required for the application as initially FPGA functions at a slower speed cause because of the loading of configuration from the external ROM.
What is the main difference between CPLDs and FPGAs?
The primary distinction between an FPGA and a CPLD is that an FPGA has more logic resources than a CPLD, which is simpler and has fewer interconnections. Two factors are mostly considered when segregating the FPGA and CPLD. The first is their architecture and how it implements the various logic functions.
What is the basic concept of a CPLD?
The basic concept of a CPLD is that we implement all the logic functions in its logic gates. Manufacturers hardwire the configuration into the IC’s design, and they cannot change them even if we reprogram the IC. CPLDs are suitable for implementing small designs since small ICs consume less power than FPGAs.
