1. What is FPGA Field Programmable Gate Array?
FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a semiconductor device that allows users to change and configure the internal connection structure and logic units of the device through software means after manufacturing to complete the digital integrated circuit of the established design function. FPGA consists of programmable logic resources, programmable interconnection resources and programmable input and output resources, and is mainly used to implement sequential logic circuits with state machines as the main feature.
FPGA is a product further developed on the basis of programmable devices such as [PAL (Programmable Array Logic) and GAL (General Array Logic). As a semi-custom circuit in the field of application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC), it not only solves the shortcomings of customized circuits, but also overcomes the shortcomings of the limited number of gate circuits of the original programmable devices. FPGA realizes a unique method of digital circuits by providing programmable hardware blocks and interconnections that can be configured to perform various tasks, making hardware development more flexible. -
2. What is the hardware of FPGA?
FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a highly flexible programmable logic chip that users can program to achieve specific logic functions according to their needs. The main uses of FPGA include communications and networks, digital signal processing, automotive and aerospace, industrial automation, high-performance computing, smart Internet of Things and many other aspects.

3. What is FPGA in embedded systems?
FPGA in embedded system is a solution that integrates FPGA technology into embedded system. An embedded system is a computer system designed for a specific application, which usually includes components such as processor, memory, peripheral interface, etc., which are used to control, monitor or perform specific tasks. Combining FPGA with embedded system can bring a series of significant advantages.
FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a programmable logic device, which consists of a large number of programmable logic units and programmable interconnection resources. It has the characteristics of flexibility and reconfigurability, and is widely used in communication, digital signal processing, embedded systems and other fields. The basic structure of FPGA includes programmable input and output units, configurable logic blocks, digital clock management modules, embedded block RAM, wiring resources, embedded dedicated hard cores and bottom embedded functional units. The design of FPGA can be implemented through hardware description language, which has high flexibility. -
4. Is FPGA a microcontroller?
FPGA is not a microcontroller. There are significant differences between FPGA and microcontroller in terms of function and use.
FPGA is a programmable integrated circuit, which is programmed through hardware description language and can customize the circuit according to needs. It is very suitable for application scenarios that require flexible configuration and high performance. In contrast, microcontrollers (MCUs) are integrated circuits with preset functions, usually used for single tasks and requiring efficient execution.
FPGAs and MCUs also differ in structure and application scenarios. FPGAs offer great flexibility and are suitable for complex applications that require rapid prototyping and reconfigurability. On the other hand, MCUs combine processor cores, memory, and various peripherals in a single chip, designed for specific tasks, and provide cost-effective solutions.
