Where to buy cheap MAXII CPLD?

that's as good as you can get.. unless you buy 1/2 a million

Or find 1/2 a million people to chip in.

What you say is: CPLD is not good/cost-efficient for simple solution.

Can you find a cheaper device for your "simple" function? How about the EPM240? At 240 LCells, it's gonna be a whole lot cheaper.

Are you only interested in buying 10 pieces? Suck it up and lay out the money! If you want more, then contact your sales rep or distributor and talk volume and price. Sometimes they'll shave a little off their margin if they can get the socket. It's the way it goes in the semiconductor business.

A good source for 1-10ea components is

But they only have atmel, cypress, xilinx If you want a stable supply, check price and distribution before you design in the part.

Always the same story!!!

Use an FPGA.

more to the point.. none of the prices on web sites are realistic FPGA prices are strictly volume .. only accept a quote from a supplier. Although Arrow and Avnet prices aren't to unrealistic... but again... check the volume.
