标题：AMD停止使用Xilinx CPLD芯片，彻底终结CPLD产品
AMD公司近日发布了一项停产通知，表示将不再提供所有CoolRunner和CoolRunner II CPLD芯片，以及Spartan II和Spartan 3 FPGA芯片。这一决定标志着AMD公司在不到两年的时间里，就放弃了其对Xilinx CPLD芯片的采用。
根据AMD公司的停产通知，这一决定的原因是由于运行率下降和供应商可持续发展的原因。尽管AMD在通知中明确表示，一旦砍掉现有的CPLD或FPGA芯片，就不会提供任何直接替代产品，但这一决定仍引发了业界的广泛关注。
CPLD（复杂可编程逻辑器件）和FPGA（现场可编程门阵列）是两种特殊应用集成电路。CPLD适合用来实现各种运算和组合逻辑，而FPGA则弥补了全定制电路的不足，并克服了原有可编程逻辑控制器逻辑门数有限的缺点。然而，AMD公司似乎并不是这两种技术的忠实拥护者。
AMD公司早期曾生产过CPLD产品，但在2022年收购赛灵思（Xilinx）后，主要由后者提供。赛灵思的主要产品是FPGA，但该公司也生产CoolRunner品牌的CPLD。然而，从CoolRunner II发布到被AMD收购的二十年间，赛灵思一直没有开发出新的CPLD，因此AMD似乎不太可能重拾CPLD。
总的来说，AMD的这一决定可能会对其产品线产生重大影响，但也可能会为其带来新的机遇。在今后的日子里，我们将继续关注AMD的这一决策及其可能带来的影响。

Title: AMD Abandons Old FPGA Products, Abruptly Stops Production of CPLD Chips
Keywords: AMD, CPLD, Xilinx
Article: Title: AMD Halts Production of Xilinx CPLD Chips, Completely Ends CPLD Line
AMD has recently issued a notice of discontinuation, stating that it will no longer provide all CoolRunner and CoolRunner II CPLD chips, as well as Spartan II and Spartan 3 FPGA chips. This decision marks AMD’s abandonment of its use of Xilinx CPLD chips in less than two years.
According to the AMD discontinuation notice, the reason for this decision is due to declining performance and sustainable supplier development. Although AMD clearly states in the notice that once existing CPLD or FPGA chips are eliminated, no direct replacement products will be provided, this decision still draws widespread attention in the industry.
CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) and FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) are two types of special application integrated circuits. CPLD is suitable for implementing various arithmetic and combinational logic, while FPGA supplements the inadequacies of fully customizable circuits and overcomes the limitations of the original programmable logic controller’s logical gate count. However, AMD seems not to be loyal followers of these two technologies.
AMD initially produced CPLD products, but after acquiring Xilinx in 2022, it mainly relied on the latter for production. Xilinx’s main product is FPGA, but the company also produces CoolRunner branded CPLD. However, during the twenty years from the release of CoolRunner II to the time of the acquisition by AMD, Xilinx did not develop any new CPLDs, so it seems unlikely that AMD will revive its interest in CPLDs.
In general, AMD’s decision may have significant implications for its product line, but it may also bring new opportunities. In the days ahead, we will continue to monitor AMD’s decision and its potential impact.
