ASIC/FPGA Generics
Where are FPGAs used?
I bet you've heard a lot about FPGAs but I feel that you've asked yourself: "Where are these FPGAs?", "Have I seen one until now?", "Are you sure that there are common applications for this types of exotic chips?". Fact is that FPGAs are present starting from the...
Types of FPGA architectures
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are general-use, reconfigurable chips that are used for a particular workload or for ASIC prototyping. An FPGA allows massive data parallelism and can achieve speed and energy consumption improvements in orders of magnitude...
Types of ASIC architectures
ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) are digital / analog / mixed signal integrated circuits designed based on the requirement of a particular application (a chip to interface a processor and an Ethernet link, a chip used for WIFI, a chip used to...
Simple classification of modern Digital Semiconductors
One of the key components of modern life and civilization is technology. From your automated garage door, to your Netflix account and smartphone conversations everything is happening though chips (microchips) communicating with each other. These tiny bits of...
