Abstract :
Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) combine the high-integration benefits of gate arrays with the time-to-market benefits of a user-programmable device. Already a mainstream logic technology, the growth rate of FPGA usage will continue to exceed that of other ASIC technologies. FPGA technology is having a major impact on electronic system design, especially through the use of FPGAs as reconfigurable computing elements
