Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are versatile semiconductor devices that can be programmed to perform specific tasks after manufacturing. Unlike traditional chips, which have fixed functions, FPGAs allow engineers to configure their hardware to meet particular needs, making them ideal for applications in telecommunications, automotive systems, and digital signal processing. FPGAs consist of an array of programmable logic blocks and interconnections, enabling users to design custom circuits. This flexibility allows for rapid prototyping and development, as changes can be made easily without the need for new hardware. Their adaptability makes FPGAs popular in industries requiring specialized computing solutions.
