What is an FPGA ?
FPGA = Field Programmable Gate Array.
An FPGA is a standard integrated circuit made up of simple logic gates and more complex functions.
It is reprogrammable by each user for its own application.
FPGAs are used to offer high-capacity logic and memory storage, while maintaining a module size suitable for embedded solutions.
What are the benefits of using an FPGA?
An FPGA has very specific technical characteristics that enable them to execute certain types of algorithms up to 1000 times faster than traditional software solutions. The benefits of using this technology are significant:
→ Real-time high-volume parallel processing for critical applications such as medical, defense and security
→ Low-latency architecture, ideal for trading
→ Highly adaptable, with many IOs capabilities for instrumentation and industrial applications
→ Flexibility, scalability and fast time-to-market
→ Limitless reprogramming: during design, during the PCB assembly process, during implementation by the end user
