A Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is an integrated circuit that can be programmed to implement virtually any digital circuit. FPGA's are widely used in applications such as telecommunications, bioinformatics, visualization systems, and signal processing. An FPGA's programmability provides users the ability to implement large, complex circuits without requiring access to an expensive state-of-the-art chip manufacturing plant, an expense that is out-of-reach for most small and medium-sized electronics companies. The costs of manufacturing integrated circuits is growing so dramatically that, in the near future, only the large processor, graphics engine, system-on-chip and FPGA companies will be able to build leading-edge devices. For everyone else, programmable logic will provide the only option for building an integrated circuit using leading-edge processes. This will lead to the era of ubiquitous programmable logic, where generic programmable logic devices will be the substrate upon which virtually all applications are built.

现场可编程门阵列（FPGA）是一种集成电路，可以编程以实现几乎任何数字电路。 FPGA被广泛应用于电信、生物信息学、可视化系统和信号处理等领域。 FPGA的可编程性为用户提供了实现大型复杂电路的能力，而无需访问昂贵的最先进的芯片制造工厂，这是大多数中小型电子公司无法承受的费用。 集成电路的制造成本正在急剧增长，在不久的将来，只有大型处理器、图形引擎、片上系统和FPGA公司才能制造出领先的设备。 对于其他人来说，可编程逻辑将提供使用前沿工艺构建集成电路的唯一选择。 这将导致无处不在的可编程逻辑的时代，通用可编程逻辑器件将成为几乎所有应用程序的基础。
