RealDigital Technology

Enabling High Performance and Ultra Low Power

RealDigital is a key design technology for CoolRunner™-II CPLDs that minimizes system current demand and allows small chip-scale packaging options. Low-power designs are also enabled through RealDigital by using true CMOS both in process technology and design technique.

Digital Core vs. Sense Amp

The CoolRunner-II architecture, with its all-digital core, requires far less power than the older CPLD technologies that use power-hungry analog sense amplifiers. In addition, it can be scaled down effectively, beyond its current 0.18µ geometry, so you can expect even better performance, low power, and lower costs with future generations - just another key advantage over the older technologies that are far more difficult to optimize. Analog CPLDs just can't keep up.
