FPGAs contain dedicated global and regional routing networks for clock and reset, typically implemented as an H tree, so they can be delivered with minimal skew. FPGAs may contain analog phase-locked loop or delay-locked loop components to synthesize new clock frequencies and manage jitter.
Field-programmable gate array prototyping (FPGA prototyping), also referred to as FPGA-based prototyping, ASIC prototyping or system-on-chip (SoC) prototyping, is the method to prototype system-on-chip and application-specific integrated circuit designs on FPGAs for hardware verification and early software development.
Virtex is the flagship family of FPGA products currently developed by AMD, originally Xilinx before being acquired by the former. [1] Other current product lines include Kintex (mid-range) and Artix (low-cost), each including configurations and models optimized for different applications. [2]
Xilinx FPGAs can run a regular embedded OS (such as Linux or vxWorks) and can implement processor peripherals in programmable logic. [16] The Virtex-II Pro, Virtex-4, Virtex-5, and Virtex-6 FPGA families, which include up to two embedded PowerPC cores, are targeted to the needs of system-on-chip (SoC) designers.
Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) were invented in 1984, and are the most advanced kind of programmable logic available today. These high-capacity devices may implement extremely complex logic, such as microprocessors or digital signal processors
iCE is the brand name used for a family of low-power field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) produced by Lattice Semiconductor.Parts in the family are marketed with the "world's smallest FPGA" tagline, and are intended for use in portable and battery-powered devices (such as mobile phones), [1] where they would be used to offload tasks from the device's main processor or system on chip.
Programmable logic blocks and programmable interconnects allow the same FPGA to be used in many different applications. For smaller designs or lower production volumes, FPGAs may be more cost-effective than an ASIC design, even in production. The non-recurring engineering (NRE) cost of an ASIC can run into the millions of dollars.
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation is an American semiconductor company specializing in the design and manufacturing of low power field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). [2] Headquartered in the Silicon Forest area of Hillsboro, Oregon , [ 3 ] the company also has operations in San Jose, Calif., [ 4 ] Shanghai , [ 5 ] Manila , [ 6 ] Penang, [ 4 ...
