LC4064ZC-37T100C

An embedded complex programmable logic device (CPLD) is a type of integrated circuit (IC) that contains a large number of predefined logic blocks that can be interconnected to form complex logic functions. The most common type of CPLD is an in-system programmable device (ISP) that can be programmed in-circuit using specialized programming tools. The LC4064ZC-37T100C is a popular example of an in-system programmable CPLD.

The LC4064ZC-37T100C is a 100-pin CPLD designed for use in a wide range of applications. It is manufactured using a 0.35 micron design process and features 4,096 logic elements (LEs) configured into two rows of high-density logic blocks and four rows of low-density logic blocks. The device also includes four user-programmable low-power SRAM blocks and two user-programmable timers. The programmable power management features of the CPLD ensure that the individual logic blocks are powered down when not in use, providing additional power efficiency.

The working principle of a CPLD is based on the combination of programmable logic and interconnection elements. Logic elements are used to represent logic functions while the interconnection elements are utilized to enable communication between logic elements. In the case of the LC4064ZC-37T100C, the logic elements are configured into logic blocks while the interconnections are enabled through specially-designed programmable connections called “mussels”. The programming of the device is achieved through Microchip’s High-Level Synthesis (HLS) language, which allows developers to define and manipulate the functionality of the device using higher-level program statements.

The LC4064ZC-37T100C is well-suited for a variety of embedded applications such as Industrial Automation, Networking, Medical Systems, and Telecommunications. It is particularly suited for use in applications that require low-power consumption, such as battery-powered or portable devices. It is also highly flexible, allowing developers to tailor the device’s functionality according to their application requirements.

In summary, the LC4064ZC-37T100C is a versatile and powerful CPLD designed for use in embedded applications that require low-power consumption and high flexibility. It is easy to program using Microchip’s High-Level Synthesis language, which allows developers to define and manipulate the functionality of the device using higher-level program statements. As such, the LC4064ZC-37T100C is an ideal choice for a wide range of embedded applications.
