Why FPGA Efficiency Is Lower Than ASIC?

Why FPGA Efficiency Is Lower Than ASIC?

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
