Field-programmable gate array

Term · Semiconductors · MLC-T-SEM-000133

A semiconductor device containing an array of configurable logic blocks and reconfigurable interconnects. Users can program these devices after manufacturing to implement custom digital circuits for specific applications. FPGAs offer flexibility for prototyping and low-volume production, contrasting with application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) which are fixed-function devices.
