FPGAs, or Field-Programmable Gate Arrays, are versatile semiconductor devices that can be reconfigured to perform a wide variety of tasks after manufacturing. Unlike traditional integrated circuits, FPGAs allow designers to implement custom hardware architectures tailored to specific applications, ranging from digital signal processing to complex algorithm execution. This adaptability makes them ideal for industries such as #telecommunications #automotive #aerospace #consumer_electronics, where the ability to modify hardware functionality is crucial. The architecture of an FPGA consists of an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs) connected through programmable interconnects. Designers can use hardware description languages (HDLs) like VHDL or Verilog to program these devices, enabling rapid prototyping and development cycles. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are semiconductor devices, which consist of configurable logic blocks (CLBs) that are connected via programmable interconnects. FPGAs are reprogrammable devices for specific functionality demand after the fabrication process. The rapid penetration of SRAM-based FPGA devices that are widely used in military & aerospace applications, wireless communication systems, and consumer electronics is expected to propel the market growth.
