Technology Paper

July 2004

This article discusses the possibilities FPGAs open for designers who want to support a wide range of signal processing applications and best capitalize on serial switched fabrics. imminent maturation. Brian contrasts DSP and FPGA capabilities and argues that today's FPGAs offer developers the means to rapidly construct custom architectures for specific signal processing needs.
