This section provides an overview for fpga development as well as their applications and principles. Also, please take a look at the list of 10 fpga development manufacturers and their company rankings.

FPGA stands for Field Programmable Gate Array, an integrated circuit that can be used to program functions in the development field. Without any modification, it is nothing more than an array of circuits with no functionality, but by combining the internal circuits and designing the logic circuits, the developer can freely provide the functionality he or she desires.
Custom designing an FPGA to develop an IC with the desired functions is called FPGA development.
Similar to FPGAs, there are application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) that can be customized to the user's wishes, but these ICs are manufactured after the custom functions are designed. Design and development takes time, and once a product is produced, it is not possible to freely change its functions on site.
FPGA development is essential for the development of electronic devices and boards, including ICs. FPGA development is used in the development of electronic devices for communications, automotive, medical devices, consumer electronics, and all other fields.
FPGA development are very beneficial in that we can program the necessary functions into FPGAs, actually place them in electronic devices to verify them on actual devices, and provide feedback on the results. FPGA development requires less development time than ASIC design, and is easier to redo and tune-up.
FPGAs have the disadvantage of being more expensive to produce than ASICs, so there has been a tendency to use FPGAs in the development stage and put ASICs on the final product after the design is finalized. However, recent improvements in semiconductor manufacturing technology have led to higher integration and lower cost of FPGAs, and the number of cases where FPGAs are used in final products is increasing.
The flow of FPGA development is basically the same as that of other IC development such as ASICs, except that in ASIC development, the manufacturing department is responsible for the prototyping process, whereas in FPGA development, the FPGA developer is also responsible for the process of implementing the program on the actual chip, which corresponds to the ASIC prototype.
The FPGA development flow includes the following processes:
