  25. Two competing implementation approaches FPGA FieldProgrammable GateArray ASIC ApplicationSpecific IntegratedCircuit • bought off the shelf • and reconfigured by • designers themselves • designs must be sent • for expensive and time • consuming fabrication • in semiconductor foundry • no physical layout design; • design ends with • a bitstream used • to configure a device • designed all the way • from behavioral description • to physical layout

  26. Which Way to Go? ASICs FPGAs Off-the-shelf High performance Low development cost Low power Short time to market Low cost in high volumes Reconfigurability

  27. I/O Block I/O Block I/O Block I/O Block What is an FPGA Chip ? • Field Programmable Gate Array • A chip that can be configured by user to implement different digital hardware • Configurable Logic Blocks and Programmable Switch Matrices • Bitstream to configure: function of each block & the interconnection between logic blocks Source: [Brown99]
