Objectives
Understand the differences between an ASIC and an FPGA.
Describe and use the specialised computing resources available on an FPGA.
Perform the synthesis and implementation process for simple arithmetic operations on the computing structures available on an FPGA.
Description
This course provides a detailed definition of the FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) family of components. First, the advantages of these components over ASICs are described. Then, the various resources (basic and advanced) available in an FPGA are detailed. Finally, the operation of synthesis tools is explained through a few simple examples.
