Hi, 

 

How to come to a conclusion that speed grade of the CPLD selected for a particular design running at 50 Mhz is OK??

You need to perform static timing analysis. In addition to that, you can also use gate level simulations. 

 

Quartus has two timing analysis tools: the Classical TA and the TimeQuest TA. 

TimeQuest is the preferred option, but it does not support old devices. 

If you're using older devices, such as MAX 3000/7000 CPLDs will have to stick with the Classical TA.
