Configurable logic blocks (CLBs) house the logic for the FPGA. Typically, these CLBs contain enough logic to create a small state machine. A CLB normally contains RAM to create arbitrary combinatorial ...

The first FPGA 'XC2064' developed by Xilinx in 1985 was said to have a much simpler structure than modern FPGAs. Nowadays, FPGAs can be programmed in standardized languages such as Verilog, but at ...

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are so-called because they are structured very much like the now-obsolete “gate array” form of application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). In fact, FPGAs ...

A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is an IC that can include thousands of identical, programmable logic cells. A matrix of wires and programmable switches interconnects individual logic cells. A ...

Before long, platform FPGAs containing fixed or configurable processors and custom hardware will dominate the field of hardware design. By then, hardware/software codesign will be the norm. Fifteen ...
