TI launches PLDs with logic and analog functions

Texas Instruments launched a new programmable logic portfolio to help engineers go from concept to prototype in minutes. New programmable logic devices and no-code design tool reduce engineering design complexity, board space, time and costs. TI’s new programmable logic portfolio allows engineers to integrate up to 40 logic and analog functions on a single chip, drastically reducing board size compared to discrete implementation. Building on its industry-leading logic portfolio, Texas Instruments (TI) today introduced programmable logic devices (PLDs) that empower engineers to streamline their logic designs for any application. With the ability to integrate up to 40 combinational and sequential logic and analog functions into one device, TI’s new PLD portfolio can help reduce board size as much as 94% - and lower system costs - compared to discrete logic implementations. Moreover, the new portfolio offers significant space savings compared to similar programmable logic devices on the market. Leveraging TI’s easy-to-use InterConnect Studio tool, engineers can design, simulate and configure their devices for evaluation in minutes without the need for any software coding. InterConnect Studio expedites the logic design process with a drag-and-drop GUI and integrated simulation feature. Designers also benefit from click-to-program and direct ordering features that simplif...
