#110649 - practical consequence
Responding to: ???'s previous message
One practical consequence of the different "history"/buildup of CPLD and FPGA: as CPLDs are multiple PAL/GAL which is a huge programmable AND/OR array plus a handful of "macrocell" as the only place having registers/latches, they are not suited for sequential logic (i.e. requiring registers/latches), but very well suited for very wide input combinatorial logic (= address decoding)("glue logic", said somewhere above).
On the other hand, each of the many many small "cell" in FPGA contains a register/latch, hence a complex xombinatorial logic can be built; but wide input combinatorial logic might have serious timing problems (needs to chain a lot of "cells").
