Recommend small FPGA and SDK

[Altera_Forum]

I need to solve a high speed logic issue with a circuit I am designing. Currently I am solving it using a bunch of XOR and NAND gate IC's but they are taking up 30% of my board space and I am looking for a small package solution to replace them with so I can get some space back. I am thinking that an FPGA is a good solution but I am not finding small stuff just big chips with hundreds of IO pins that can run an entire cell phone. 

 Altera comes up a lot in my searching so I am hoping someone here may know what I am looking for. I just need something basic that will let me program my simple logic into an IC that I can solder on to my circuit board and I only need 32 IO but anything less then 100 would be good.  I would like an SDK that costs less then $1000. I would like it more if it runs in Linux but that is not a deal breaker if the chip is small and the SDK is affordable.

you should take a look at the MAXV CPLD family. they come in 64-pin QFP: 

 http://www.altera.com/literature/lit-max-v.jsp  the dev kit is $75:  http://www.altera.com/products/devkits/altera/kit-max-v.html  the free Quartus II Web Edition software will work on Windows or Linux:  https://www.altera.com/download/software/quartus-ii-we  http://www.altera.com/literature/lit-qts.jsp

What is high-speed to you? 

 The older MAX II CPLDs work fine too. Altera jumped from MAX II to MAX V, so ignore the missing roman numerals in the part number sequence :)  I've used the EPM570 for implementing power-control and FPGA configuration controller logic. They've got plenty of logic elements for what you want to do. The logic runs at 125MHz and the devices are close to full.  A couple of comments though:  Pros: The MAX CPLDs have on-board EEPROM, so they are sort-of instant turn-on devices. They have ~4MHz oscillators on them that you can use, though an external clock might be useful depending on your application.  Cons: The MAX CPLDs do not have on-chip RAM, so you cannot use the Altera NIOS processor (though, this is not a con for your application).  Either of the MAX CPLDs would work fine for you.  Cheers, Dave
