Embedded - FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array)

Field programmable gate array (FPGA) is an integrated circuit made up of several logic components and provides a flexible platform for implementing logic functions in the form of configurable blocks. FPGAs can be used in wide range of embedded applications from high end to low end.

FPGAs are basically programmable logic devices, which are designed for quickly changing the logic functions. As compared to custom optimized circuits and Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), FPGAs offer more configuration flexibility, greater scalability and ease of use and usually require less time and design effort.

The FPGA consists of two distinct parts: the configurable logic blocks (CLBs) and the configurable interconnects. CLBs are the basic components of an FPGA and they can be programmed to implement a variety of logic functions. The configurable interconnects are the pathways between CLBs.

By programming the logic blocks and configuring the paths between them, a variety of logic functions can be achieved in an FPGA. Some examples are; image processing, signal processing, data acquisition, control systems and Ethernet network design.
