Modular FPGA Makes FPGA Easier To Use


Traditionally FPGAs are configured once at boot/power-on. This is because they almost always store the configuration file in a Flash memory which is updated from time to time (like your smart phone’s OS and apps). But eFPGA is in your SoC, so you can provide the configuration files from on chip SRAM, on chip NVM and/or off chip DRAM. EFLX eFPGA is reconfigurable. Process nodes like 40nm... » read more
