What is a field programmable gate array (FPGA)?
What is an FPGA? Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are a class of devices classified or called as field-programmable logic (FPL). FPGAs are programmable semiconductor devices that are based on a matrix of configurable logic blocks (CLBs) connected through programmable interconnects .
What is a LUT based function generator?
The LUT is a RAM-based function generator and is the main resource for implementing logic functions. Furthermore, the LUTs in each slice pair can be configured as distributed RAM or a 16-bit shift register. Each of the two LUTs (F and G) in a slice has four logic inputs (A1–A4) and a single output (D) (see Fig. 1.7 ).
What is the impact of FPGA circuits on engineering directions?
Given their inherent configurability and relatively low development cost, the impact of FPGA circuits on various engineering directions has grown with a rapid pace. FPGAs are useful for a wide range of applications, such as medical imaging, aerospace and defense, automotive, video and image processing, etc.
How many inputs can an ALM implement?
In addition to implementing two independent 4-input functions, the ALM can for example, implement a full 6-input LUT or a 5-input and a 3-input function with independent inputs.
