Abstract :
This paper presents a comparison between two technologies for reconfigurable circuits: FPGA´s and FPAA´s. The comparison is based on a case study of the area of industrial control using simulations with both types of reconfigurable devices. Several design issues are discussed, including the ease of implementation, accuracy, capacity, consumption and size, among others. Based on the case study, we present qualitative directions to choose the most suitable reconfigurable device for similar applications.
