FPGA Architecture

FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) architecture refers to the underlying hardware structure and design principles of FPGAs, which are integrated circuits that can be configured and reconfigured by users after manufacturing. It typically consists of an array of programmable logic blocks, configurable interconnects, and input/output blocks that allow for custom digital circuit implementation. This architecture enables hardware acceleration, prototyping, and flexible system design without the need for custom silicon fabrication.

🧊Why learn FPGA Architecture?

Developers should learn FPGA architecture when working on high-performance computing, embedded systems, or digital signal processing applications that require custom hardware acceleration beyond what general-purpose processors can provide. It's essential for roles in aerospace, telecommunications, and automotive industries where real-time processing and low-latency operations are critical, as well as for prototyping ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) before committing to expensive manufacturing.
