Recent Advances in the Concept of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)

In this paper, some of the recent advances in the concept of FPGA is presented, which is a presentation made as a part of the UG seminar work. Designing hardware with Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) avoids the higher non-recurring engineering costs and longer development times of Mask-Programmed Gate Array (MPGA) solutions. These two key advantages, shorter design cycles and lower development costs, have made FPGAs an extremely popular technology for prototyping and low-volume production runs. The work presented in this paper is the seminar related work of the under-graduate student & it is just a survey paper & as such there is no novelty in it & is presented as a part & parcel of the UG curriculum seminar work EC85.
