What are FPGAs?

FPGA stands for Field Programmable Gate Array, an integrated circuit that can be reprogrammed in the field. Recently, FPGAs have been expanding their scope of application due to the expansion of their functions, such as increasing the circuit capacity and incorporating hardware processors. It is no exaggeration to say that FPGAs are now used in almost all electronic devices.

However, for FPGAs, first-time users need to understand and learn the design flow, such as designing the design using a hardware language.

Therefore, here, we will introduce the perfect evaluation board for those who are going to use FPGA from now on, as well as useful webinars and technical articles that can be viewed together. Please learn the design flow of FPGA by all means!

Additionally, Macnica-Mouser, an e-commerce site for semiconductors and electronic components, has a wide selection of FPGA evaluation boards available.
