fpga 技术介绍-英文翻译.rar

Field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technology continues to gain momentum, and the worldwide FPGA market is expected to grow from $1.9 billion in 2005 to $2.75 billion by 20101. Since its invention by Xilinx in 1984, FPGAs have gone from being simple glue logic chips to actually replacing custom application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and processors for signal processing and control applications. Why has this technology been so successful? This article provides an introduction to FPGAs and highlights some of the benefits that make FPGAs unique.

现场可编程门阵列(FPGA) 技术正持续发展，而全世界 FPGA 市场的产值，则预估可从 2005 年的 19 亿美金提升到 2010 年的 27 亿 5 千万美金。FPGA 是在 1984 年由 Xilinx 公司所发明，从简单的胶合逻辑 (Glue logic) 晶片，演变为可取代客制的特定应用积体电路 (ASIC) 与处理器，适用于讯号处理与控制应用。为何 FPGA 技术如此成功？此篇文章将介绍 FPGA，并说明数项让 FPGA 如此独特的优点。
