What are applications of FPGA?

Specific application of an FPGA includes digital signal processing, bioinformatics, device controllers, software-defined radio, random logic, ASIC prototyping, medical imaging, computer hardware emulation, integrating multiple SPLDs, voice recognition, cryptography, filtering and communication encoding and many more.

Which technology is used in FPGA?

For commerical FPGAs, the main switch technologies are antifuses (e.g. Actel) and Static RAM cells (e.g. Xilinx). For commerical CPLDs (e.g. Altera MAX), the main switch technologies are Erasable Programmable ROM (EPROM) transistors and Electrically Erasable PROM (EEP- ROM) transistors.

What are the applications of CPLDs and FPGAs?

Applications of CPLD CPLDs can be used as bootloaders for FPGAs and other programmable systems. CPLDs are often used as address decoders and custom state machines in digital systems. Due to their small size and low power consumption, CPLDs are ideal for use in portable and handheld digital devices.

What are different types of FPGA?

The three basic types of programmable elements for an FPGA are static RAM, anti-fuses, and flash EPROM.

• Generic FPGA architecture.
• FPGA Configurable logic block (CLB) (courtesy of Xilinx).
• FPGA Configurable I/O block (courtesy of Xilinx).
• FPGA programmable interconnect (courtesy of Xilinx).

What is FPGA discuss the working of FPGA?

The FPGA is Field Programmable Gate Array. It is a type of device that is widely used in electronic circuits. FPGAs are semiconductor devices which contain programmable logic blocks and interconnection circuits. It can be programmed or reprogrammed to the required functionality after manufacturing.

Is FPGA widely used?

Even when an ASIC will be designed for high-volume production, FPGAs are widely used for system validation, including pre-silicon validation, post-silicon validation and firmware development.
