This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array) with Microcontrollers category on DigiKey.com
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are integrated circuit devices based on a matrix of configurable logic blocks (CLBs) that can be linked together via programmable interconnects to create digital circuits. These systems may range from simple Boolean functions or state machines to complete processor systems. In contrast to ASICs, FPGAs can be reprogrammed with new applications and functionality after manufacturing. Core types include 8-bit AVR and 32-bit ARM9.
SelectionCharacteristics
Core Type: Describes the processor core incorporated within a device, in terms of data word width and trade name.
Speed: Indicate the clock frequency of the device. This directly influences the overall rate computations that can be done in the device.
Interface: The way the device is equipped to communicate it’s data.
Program SRAM Bytes: Indicates the amount of program SRAM with which a device is equipped given as bytes.
FPGA SRAM: Indicates the amount of SRAM available in the FPGA portion of a device.
EEPROM Size: Describes the size of the non-volatile memory element integrated in a device for purposes of configuration and program storage.
Data SRAM Bytes: Indicates the amount of data SRAM with which a device is equipped given as bytes. Used during the running of the program to store data for computation.
FPGA Core Cells: Indicates the number of logic cells available in the FPGA portion of a device.
FPGA Gates: Indicates the number of logic gates present in the FPGA portion of a device.
FPGA Registers: Indicates the number of data storage registers present in the FPGA portion of a device.
Voltage - Supply: Typically represented by a range, this indicates the low and high voltage limits that one can expect in standard operation. Voltages outside this range may damage the device and other system components.
Mounting Type: Indicates how the device is attached.
Operating Temperature: Recommended operating temperature, typically given in a range or as a maximum. Exceeding these temperatures may affect performance or damage the device and/or other system components.
Package / Case: Describes the footprint and type of body the item has based on a general standard.
Supplier Device Package: Describes the footprint and type of body the item has based on what the manufacturer names it.
