Introduction to FPGA, and its Applications in Telecommunications
Description:
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) are semiconductor devices based around a matrix of configurable logic blocks (CLBs) connected via programmable interconnects. In 1985 Xilinx introduced the First commercial FPGA with only 64 logic blocks while today you can find FPGAs with more than 300,000 logic blocks.
In over 30 years, FPGAs have found their way into any real-time signal and data processing in Telecommunications, Satellites & Space exploration, Defense (Radar, GPS, Missiles), Medical X-ray & MRI machines, artificial intelligence and many other industries.
FPGAs can be programmed and configured many times to provide the desired application or functionality requirements after manufacturing. The resources of the FPGA can be used to build almost any digital circuit.
In this webinar, after introducing FPGA, we will discuss its applications with some examples from telecommunications industries.
