Installation
A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is an integrated circuit designed
to be configured by a customer or a designer after manufacturing – hence
"field-programmable". The FPGA configuration is generally specified
using a hardware description language (HDL), similar to that used for an
application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC).
FPGAs contain an array of programmable logic blocks, and a hierarchy of
reconfigurable interconnects that allow the blocks to be "wired together", like
many logic gates that can be inter-wired in different configurations. Logic
blocks can be configured to perform complex combinational functions, or
merely simple logic gates like AND and XOR.
In most FPGAs, logic blocks also include memory elements, which may be
simple flip-flops or more complete blocks of memory.
