Abstract :
Since their introduction in 1985, Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have become a preferred medium for implementing digital logic designs. The increased popularity of FPGAs results from significantly increased capability of FPGAs. This paper discusses the progress of FPGA technology in three areas: manufacturing process, architecture and software; and forecasts FPGA capabilities in the future.
