FAQ: MCU vs FPGA — What’s the diff?
FPGAs are highly configurable, general purpose integrated circuits (ICs) filled with small programmable digital logic building blocks called “logic cells” (by Altera) or “logic elements” (by Xilinx). A custom IC, or Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), is very similar but with ASICs, a custom circuit design is set in silicon and is difficult to change […]
