Abstract :
In this paper, we present some of the important design factors and performance issues in the development of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Emphasis is placed on the design of logic blocks and interconnection resources. We also discuss the possibility of using multiple-valued logic in the design of FPGA logic blocks.
