A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is a type of configurable integrated circuit that can be repeatedly programmed after manufacturing. FPGAs are a subset of logic devices referred to as programmable logic devices (PLDs).
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]
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.
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.
FPGAs use a grid of logic gates, and once stored, the data doesn't change, similar to that of an ordinary gate array. The term field-programmable means the device is programmed by the customer, not the manufacturer. FPGAs and gate arrays are similar but gate arrays can only be configured at the factory during fabrication. [11] [12] [13]
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.
Altera Corporation is a manufacturer of programmable logic devices (PLDs) headquartered in San Jose, California.It was founded in 1983 and acquired by Intel in 2015 before becoming independent once again in 2024 as a company focused on development of Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology and system on a chip FPGAs.
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] and ...
