Introduction to Embedded FPGAs

FPGAs, also known as Field Programmable Gate Arrays, are a relatively new type of logic device that is growing in popularity among electronic designers. FPGAs offer a level of flexibility and performance that is not available with other types of devices, such as ASICs or general-purpose microprocessors. FPGAs are finding their way into devices ranging from embedded applications to high-end networking equipment.

What Is an FPGA?

An FPGA is an integrated circuit (IC) that is made up of programmable logic blocks and interconnection resources. The logic blocks allow users to create arbitrary logic designs and the interconnection resources provide the wires to connect the logic blocks together. When an FPGA is programmed, the user builds a circuit inside the FPGA that can perform any arbitrary function. The FPGA can also be reprogrammed to perform different tasks.

Benefits of Using FPGAs

FPGAs offer designers a great deal of flexibility compared to ASICs. Unlike ASICs, FPGAs can be quickly and easily reprogrammed to perform different tasks without the need for major redesign or respins of the circuit. FPGAs are also better suited for applications where the performance requirements are not well defined or may change over time. FPGAs also typically consume less power than microprocessors and offer much more flexibility than DSPs. As a result, FPGAs are increasingly being used in embedded applications such as medical devices, consumer electronics, and automotive systems.
