FPGA is sutiable for complicated arch than CPLD. CPLD is very tiny when compared to the logic of FPGA so CPLD is faster.
A VHDL program is written to realize an electronic circuit, system or design. After simulating the code, one needs to dump it into an FPGA or CPLD. This programmable logic device, after dumping, act like the designed system. The inter connections of these devices need to be made as per the code. This means that that a program code which might be logic based now needs to be converted into a physically realizable structure. This involves building a physical structure within an FPGA or CPLD. This process involves converting the VHDL code into a format that can be understood by FPGA or CPLD. Converting our code into 1s and 0s that suit the FPGA or CPLD structure is called synthesis.
Size, Complexity and Application of design will decide the selection(Mostly CPLDs are used in bootups).
Verilog HDL / VHDL is a hardware description language used to implement a hardware on a computer virtually. It means that we can append all the attributes of a hardware to a computer program and verify as to how it works. But there may be differences in its behavior when it is actually implemented physically. For example, there may be an unexpected time delay. So, it is required to verify the design physically. Hence, we dump this Verilog / VHDL code into an FPGA / CPLD and verify the design physically. In other words, Verilog HDL / VHDL program is used to verify the design on a computer where as FPGA / CPLD implementation is used to verify the design on an IC.
Yes, FPGA is used in some ways in mobiles.
Complex programmable logic device (CPLD) are programmable digital logic devices which are simpler and lesser capacity than FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) devices. CPLDs have a non-volatile memory (i.e. turning off the power does not require reprogramming of CPLD) Microcontrollers (uP or MCU) are small and cost effective but self contained computer chips (compared to general purpose processor chips used in personal computers) used for embedded applications in industrial, consumer electronics products and automobiles. Microcontrollers may or may not have inbuilt memory. CPLDs are used for implementing logic but they do not have a embedded processor like in microcontrollers. - Neeraj Sharma
HDL means hardware description language. These are the computer programming languages used to describe hardware. By doing so one can virtually realize hardware and test it. Verilog HDL is one of several hardware description languages available.
There are many manufacturers of aeroplane or airplane engines. The leading manufacturers of airplane, aeroplane, or jet engines are Boeing, General Electric, and Pratt & Whittney.
