Do you mean slow compared to a parallel port or to an ASIC?

hey ,
won't the fpga controller slow...because it can't give the real-time
performance as the controller which you plan to make on it...(Just a
guess..never did a real FPGA programming...just simulated
netlists.....)

Subject: [Electronics_101] Parallel Port Interfacing
: Hi,
: I am building a demo board which will be interfaced with the PC by
: means of Parallel Port in EPP mode. My guess is that I will
require a
: IEEE 1284 compatible controller on the board to communicate with
the
: PC.
:
: Now the board has a FPGA on it. My question is whether
:
: 1) it will be easier to program the FPGA to act like a
controller? or
: 2) Buy an off-the-shelf IEEE 1284 compatible controller and
program
: the FPGA to operate in conjuction with this controller??
:
:
: I have made an independent search of parallel port controllers and
: found that CD1283 is the only controller which has a lot of
material
: available about. However CD1283 has a bit complicated
architecture.
: Is there any other/simpler/probably cheaper controller available??
