Some time ago, I shared the “Research Report on China’s FPGA Chip Industry (Part 1)“. Today, I will continue discussing FPGA technology. CCI-Techat FPGAs can be used to handle various compute-intensive tasks. Relying on a pipelined parallel structure, FPGAs have a technical advantage over GPUs and CPUs in terms of latency for returning computation results. … Read more
Source: Chip Intelligence 1. Definition and Classification of FPGA Chips 1. Definition and Physical Structure of FPGA Chips FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) chips are developed based on programmable devices (PAL, GAL) and are semi-custom, programmable integrated circuits. Inventor: Ross Freeman, co-founder of Xilinx, invented the FPGA integrated circuit structure in 1984. The world’s first … Read more
FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a chip that can change its functionality through programming. It features fast computation speed, real-time logic changes, and an internal structure of logic gate arrays. It is a semi-custom circuit developed on the basis of traditional logic circuits and gate arrays like PAL (Programmable Logic Array), GAL (Generic Array … Read more
FPGA is a product further developed based on programmable devices such as PAL, GAL, EPLD, and CPLD. It emerged as a semi-custom circuit in the ASIC field, addressing the shortcomings of custom circuits and overcoming the limitations of existing programmable logic gates. Since FPGAs need to be rewritten repeatedly, their basic structure for implementing combinational … Read more
In recent years, the concept of FPGA has become increasingly prevalent. For example, Bitcoin mining has seen the use of FPGA-based mining machines. Additionally, Microsoft previously announced that it would use FPGAs “instead of” CPUs in data centers, among other applications. In fact, FPGA is not unfamiliar to professionals, as it has been widely used … Read more
Which is better, ASIC or FPGA? What are the differences in their processes? Is it necessary to switch from FPGA to ASIC design? Various questions about ASIC and FPGA are frequently seen online. ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) refers to integrated circuits designed and manufactured to meet specific user requirements and the needs of specific … Read more
Source: Fresh Date Classroom Original Author: Little Date Jun This article introduces what ASIC is and what FPGA is, as well as the principles of the two. ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) The parallel computing power of GPUs is very strong, but it also has disadvantages, such as high power consumption, large size, and high … Read more
FPGA is a “reconfigurable logic” device. Chips are manufactured first, then “reconfigured” during redesign. ASICs do not require “reconfiguration”. You design it first, hand it over to the foundry, and then manufacture the chip. Now let’s take a look at the structure of these chips and how they differ. ● Logic Units: The Basic Module … Read more
FPGA, short for Field-Programmable Gate Array is a semiconductor device that can be programmed on-site according to user needs FPGA differs from traditional ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) in that it offers high flexibility and reconfigurability, enabling different logic functions to be implemented by modifying software code without changing the hardware circuit. It is like a … Read more
Arm today announced the launch of “Arm® Total Design” ecosystem, aimed at smoothly delivering custom system-on-chip (SoC) based on Neoverse™ Compute Subsystem (CSS). Arm Total Design brings together leading companies in the industry, including application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design firms, IP suppliers, EDA tool providers, foundries, and firmware developers, to accelerate and simplify the development … Read more
