Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA) are a vital technology invented 25 years ago to build digital hardware. The key strengths of the technology are instant manufacturing, no up-front manufacturing costs, and the ability to to fix hardware bugs or add features at no cost. These strengths are obtained by prefabricating a generic logic circuit that is configured by the customer using computer-aided design tools. Despite their advantages, FPGAs are estimated to be 40x less dense, 4x slower, and use 12x more power than ASICs.

现场可编程门阵列（FPGA）是25年前发明的一项重要技术，用于构建数字硬件。该技术的主要优势是即时制造，没有前期制造成本，并且能够免费修复硬件错误或添加功能。这些优势是通过预制通用逻辑电路获得的，该电路由客户使用计算机辅助设计工具配置。尽管fpga具有优势，但估计其密度比asic低40倍，速度慢4倍，功耗高12倍。
