Overview
- Provides readers with a better appreciation of the gap between FPGAs and ASICs and a deeper understanding of FPGA architecture
- Corrects common misconceptions about the magnitude of the gap between FPGAs and ASICs and the benefits of FPGA features such as multipliers and memories
- Conveys the broad range of trade-offs that are possible in the design of FPGAs. In particular, the significant impact of transistor sizing on a FPGA’s efficiency and performance will be highlighted
- Addresses that lack of information regarding the ASIC or FPGA design choice
