2. Generic FPGA architecture
An FPGA is an integrated circuit whose functionality can be "printed" in hardware using a configuration loaded into memory.
This memory, whether volatile or non-volatile, can be programmed directly by the user (hence the term Field Programmable ) without the need for costly casting. Generally speaking, an FPGA can be seen as an array of elementary logic elements (hence the term Gate Array ) whose functionality and connection to a subset of neighboring or distant elements depend on the configuration loaded in the memory plane. Figure 2 shows a generic view of FPGA architecture. It shows a homogeneous area in the form of a large matrix connecting :
logic blocks (BL) ;
