LCMXO2-640HC-4TG100C 100% New & Original MachXO2 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 78 18432 640 100-LQFP

Highly customizable SoC. For example - standard interfaces connected to familiar cpus and field upgradable logic blocks. As a result, systems integrators bring solutions that integrate across familiar commoditization boundaries (disruptive innovations). So what comes to mind here are hardware startups in the fields of security, networking, data centers, etc.

 In addition, FPGA can also be used with powerpc or ARM-based cpus. Thus, it is possible to quickly develop an SoC that will have a highly customizable interface around the CPU for which existing code has already been developed. For example, hardware acceleration cards for high-frequency trading.

 High-end FPGA are used to get "free" high performance interfaces such as PCIe Gen 3, 10/40Gbps Ethernet, SATA Gen 3, DDR3 gobs and gobs, QDR4 memory. Typically, locating this ip to an ASIC is costly. But FPGA can get you started quickly, because these cores can be used as already-proven chips, so it takes only a fraction of the development time to integrate them into the system.

 FPGA have quite a few multipliers and internal memory. Therefore, they are well suited for signal processing systems. Therefore, you will find them in the hardware that performs signal conditioning and multiplexing/demultiplexing. For example, wireless network equipment, such as base stations.

 The smallest logical element in an FPGA is called a logical block. This is at least an ALU+ trigger. As a result, FPGA are widely used for computing problems that can benefit from SIMD-type architectures. Examples include cleaning images received from image sensors, point or local processing of image pixels, such as calculating difference vectors in H.264 compression, etc.

 Finally, ASIC simulation or hardware/software in the ring testing, etc. FPGA logic design shares the same processes and tools as ASIC design. Fpgas are therefore also used to validate some test cases during ASIC development, where the interaction between hardware and software may be too complex or time-consuming to model.
