FPGA Design – Selecting an I/O Architecture

Applikationsberichte

In the not-too-distant past, designers used FPGAs primarily as prototyping vehicles. However, during the last decade FPGA data rates have increased dramatically, and they now rival those of CMOS ASICs. The surge in system performance convinced designers to take advantage of the flexibility inherent in FPGAs to create easy-to-upgrade products for a wide variety of markets, including communications, consumer, industrial, military and automotive applications.
