FPGA Field-Programmable Gate Array

Hardware På svenska → Updated: 2026-05-23

Chip whose logic can be reprogrammed after manufacturing — sits between a CPU (flexible, slow) and an ASIC (fast, fixed).

Used in prototyping, signal processing, high-frequency trading, network cards. Programmed in Verilog or VHDL. Expensive per unit, but no manufacturing delay.
