The Triptych Fpga Architecture: Enhancing Flexibility and Performance through FPGA Architecture

Abstract

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have quicklybecome an important medium for the implementation of digital logic. Thesearrays exploit the increasing capacity of integrated circuits to providedesigners with reconfigurable logic that can be programmed on anapplication-specific basis. This drastically increases flexibility in both thedesign process and the final artifact by permitting one board-level design toperform many functions, or to be upgraded in the field.
