FPGAs & designing with them

Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) devices have become very popular for digital logic design. Today variety of FPGA devices from different manufacturers are available in market to target specific application area. Their cost effectiveness as compared to ASICs manufacturing and increased avaliability of gates per area has made them further economic to be used for ASIC prototyping. Large number of ASIC designs are first prototyped with high end FPGA boards to reduce the time to market. It helps designers and verification engineers to start working well before the first ASIC gets ready.
My blogs on designing with FPGAs will discuss about the intricacies of different FPGA architectures and other common but important topics related to FPGA design.
