TI’s new PLD portfolio, which can integrate up to 40 combinational and sequential logic and analog functions into a single device, can reduce board size by up to 94% and reduce system cost compared to discrete logic implementations. Additionally, the new portfolio offers significant space savings compared to similar programmable logic devices on the market.
Using TI’s easy-to-use InterConnect Studio tool, engineers can design, simulate and configure evaluation devices in minutes without any software coding. InterConnect Studio expedites the logic design process with a drag-and-drop GUI and integrated simulation capabilities. Additionally, designers can accelerate time to market by leveraging click-to-program and direct ordering capabilities that streamline the programming and purchasing process to a single click.
“More and more engineers are considering programmable logic devices as a way to reduce design complexity and board space, simplify supply chain management and accelerate time to market,” said Chedeniya Abraham, vice president and general manager of Interfaces at TI. “Existing programmable logic devices are often more complex than application requirements, require programming expertise, or have limited packaging options,” he said. “TI’s new programmable logic portfolio builds on TI’s 60 years of experience in logic design. 2.56mm for applications including automotive, industrial and personal electronics2“The industry-standard package offers a small form factor, low power consumption, AEC Q-100 qualification, and a temperature range from -40°C to 125°C.”
According to TI, its PLD portfolio includes the industry’s smallest lead packages. The size is 2.1mm x 1.6mm and the pitch is 0.5mm. The company claims that this lead package can meet the needs of manufacturers that require soldering in a size that is 92% smaller than that of competing products. TI’s automotive-grade PLDs are up to 63% smaller than competitors. The portfolio also offers a Quad Flat No-lead (QFN) packaging option that enables automated optical inspection, ensuring safety and long-term system reliability.
TI’s new PLD has a quiescent current of less than 1µA and uses 50% less active power than similar products. It is said to help extend battery life in products such as electric vehicles, power tools, battery packs, and game controllers by lowering power consumption.
All products in the newly introduced PLD portfolio support general-purpose input/output, lookup tables, digital flip-flops, pipe delays, filters, and RC oscillators. Additionally, the TPLD1201 and TPLD1202 devices integrate analog functions such as analog comparators and offer internally selectable voltage reference options and hysteresis. The TPLD1202 also provides additional features such as Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), I2C, watchdog timer, and state machine.
