FPGAFPGA

FPGA – Field Programmable Gate ArrayFPGA – Field Programmable Gate Array Integrated Circuit which can be configured by the userIntegrated Circuit which can be configured by the user

Configuration is done using HDL (Hardware Configuration is done using HDL (Hardware Description Language)Description Language)

FPGA's can be programmed to implement any logic FPGA's can be programmed to implement any logic functionfunction

User designs the logic circuits using AND , OR and User designs the logic circuits using AND , OR and NOT Logic Gates, which the circuit board translates NOT Logic Gates, which the circuit board translates into universal gates (NAND, NOR)into universal gates (NAND, NOR)
