FPGA
An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is an integrated circuit that can be configured by the user after manufacturing to perform specific digital logic functions. Unlike traditional fixed-function chips (like CPUs or ASICs), FPGAs are reprogrammable, allowing for custom hardware-level functionality.
Key Features of FPGAs:
Reconfigurable Hardware: You can program and reprogram the FPGA to perform different tasks using a hardware description language (HDL) such as VHDL or Verilog.
Parallelism: FPGAs can execute many operations in parallel, which makes them ideal for high-speed data processing, real-time systems, and signal processing.
Logic Blocks & Interconnects: Internally, FPGAs consist of thousands (or millions) of small configurable logic blocks (CLBs) and programmable interconnects that can be wired together to create complex digital circuits.
I/O Flexibility: They support various types of digital interfaces, making them suitable for connecting with sensors, cameras, memory, and other devices.
