Frequently Asked Questions

What do FPGAs do?

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), which can be used to generate customized digital circuits without the requirement for unique silicon, are programmable integrated circuits. As application needs change, FPGAs can be reprogrammed and modified to meet them.

What distinguishes an FPGA from a microcontroller?

A microcontroller is a miniature computer on an individual integrated circuit that is made for a particular purpose. An FPGA, on the other hand, is a type of programmable logic device that enables designers to build unique digital circuits. Compared to microcontrollers, FPGAs are more flexible and perform better, but they also demand more design work and experience.

What is the IGLOO2 FPGAs' power consumption?

With static power as low as 25 W per LUT (look-up table) and dynamic power as low as 39 W/MHz, IGLOO2 FPGAs have the lowest power consumption in their class.
