现场可编程门阵列(Field Programmable Gate Array,FPGA)作为一种可编程逻辑器件,在短短二十多年里从电子设计的外围器件逐渐演变为数字系统的核心,在计算机硬件、通信、航空航天和汽车电子等诸多领域有着广泛的应用.伴随着半导体工艺技术的进步,FPGA器件的设计技术取得了飞跃性突破.该文在回顾FPGA发展历史的同时,对目前主流FPGA器件的前沿技术进行总结,并对新一代FPGA的发展前景进行展望.
Abstract:
As a programmable logic device, Field Programmable Gate Array(FPGA)has evolved from merely a peripheral component in an electronic design to become a core processing element of digital systems over the last two decades. It finds extensive applications in many fields, such as computer hardware, communication, aviation, spaceflight and automobile-electronics, etc. The FPGA chip design research achieves a significant progress with the advance of semi-conductor technologies. This survey reviews the past history, presents status and future trend in the ever quest for high performance FPGAs. |
