Introduction To FPGAs Programmable Logic For Innovation

FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays) are versatile integrated circuits that can be configured post-manufacturing, offering significant flexibility for digital design. They differ from microprocessors and ASICs by providing reconfigurability and parallel processing capabilities, making them suitable for various applications in aerospace, defense, communications, and automotive sectors. The FPGA market is expected to grow significantly, reaching $12.5 billion by 2030, driven by their ability to adapt to changing needs and accelerate time-to-market for innovations.
