    FPGAs are currently the maximum evolution of PLDs (Programmable Logic Device), defined as integrated circuits in which you can program Boolean logic equations, both combinatorial and sequential. There are currently a large variety of these chips, and some of them can contain up to 10,00,000 logic gates. Likewise, FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is programmable logic circuits directly by the user, which requires tools of relatively low cost, such as the development software and the recording device. The recording or programming of one of these devices can be carried out in milliseconds.

    A CPLD (from the English acronym Complex Programmable Logic Device) is an electronic device that extends the concept of a PLD to a higher level of integration since it allows to implement more efficient systems, because they use less space, improve the reliability of the design, and reduce costs.

    Both CPLDs and FPGAs contain a large number of programmable logic elements. If we measure the density of programmable logic elements in equivalent logical gates (number of equivalent NAND gates that could be programmed in a device) we could say that in a CPLD we would find the order of tens of thousands of equivalent logical gates and in an FPGA of the order of hundreds of thousands to millions of them.
    Apart from the differences in density between both types of devices, the fundamental difference between FPGAs and CPLDs is their architecture. The architecture of the CPLDs is more rigid and consists of one or more sums of programmable products whose results go to a reduced number of flip-flops Synchronous (also called flip-flops). The architecture of the FPGAs, on the other hand, is based on a large number of small blocks used to reproduce simple logical operations, which in turn have synchronous bistables. The enormous freedom available in the interconnection of these blocks gives FPGAs great flexibility.
    Another important difference between FPGAs and CPLDs is that in most FPGAs you can find high-level functions (such as adders and multipliers) embedded in the interconnection matrix itself, as well as memory blocks.

    FPGA
    Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a programmable logic chip that can be well programmed to do any kind of digital function. FPGAs are expensive when it is a matter of the package
    One lakh of tiny logic blocks are contained in FPGA
    FPGA is used for complex applications
    FPGA is of RAM-based digital logic chip
    There are no many delays in FPGA’s CPLD
    CPLD Complex Programmable Logic Device is actually designed by using electrically erasable programmable read-only memory popularly known as EEPROM.
    CPLD is used for simple logic applications.
    CPLDS are affordable and cheaper and it has less complex architecture.
    CPLD contains only few thousands of tiny logic blocks
    CPLD is a EEPROM-based
    There are much Delays in CPLD’s Know more: https://bit.ly/3q7AR7t

    Hi….Albeit all computerized rationale circuits can be shaped from inventive mixes of NAND and NOR doors, utilizing individual NAND and NOR 7400 ICs is restrictive for making programmable rationale circuits. Utilizing a CPLD or FPGA for programmable rationale is regularly a superior decision as you have a more extensive scope of usefulness in a more modest impression.

    Most CPLDs execute amount of-item combinatorial rationale and discretionary flip-flops for rationale activities. The utilization of combinatorial rationale work upholds wide fan-in. Therefore, a CPLD with countless information sources might be a preferred decision over a FPGA with a low number of I/O pins and for less complex applications. As far as the quantity of rationale obstructs, a FPGA can contain around 100,000 rationale blocks while a CPLD just contains thousands. This implies FPGAs can be specific for more perplexing calculation and applications.
