Unprecedented advances in Integrated Circuit fabrication technology have given rise to the low-cost high-speed Internet, mobile computing, and unparalleled computing power that analyzes, manipulates and automates activity throughout the planet. As integration continues its exponential progress, however, the complexity of the underlying fabrication technology, the expertise required to exploit it, and the financial risk associated with each deployment has also grown at an exponential rate. Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have emerged as a Programmable Platform of choice for many of these crucial applications. FPGAs can be configured to implement any circuit, allowing designers to immediately test designs without the cost, risk and delay of producing a fully-customized chip.
