Embedded - FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array)

Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a semiconductor device which is typically used for digital designs and circuit applications. It is a highly programmable digital integrated circuit, typically used in embedded systems such as digital signal processors.

The FPGA is fundamentally different from other commonly used semiconductor devices such as general-purpose processors, microcontrollers, and microprocessors. It is more akin to a larger-scale ASIC (Application-specific integrated circuit) in that it is able to process digital signals with digital representation. FPGAs typically contain several independent logic blocks and configurable interconnects between them. This allows the FPGA to produce a variety of digital functions. The FPGA may also contain embedded memories, such as SRAM, or DRAM, or even embedded processors.
