An FPGA is an integrated circuit that can be configured by a user to emulate any digital circuit provided there are enough resources. It contains configurable logic blocks and programmable interconnects that can be rewired to implement applications. After defining the desired behavior in software, a compiler implements the logic as hardware by downloading it to the FPGA to create a custom circuit without the costs of traditional custom designs. FPGAs offer benefits like reconfigurability, software-defined design, parallelism, high speed, and reliability.

A Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is an integrated circuit or a special kind of chip that can be

configured by the user to emulate any digital circuit as long as there are enough resources

the FPGA is the heart of the CompactRIO architecture , giving you the highest
reliability,performance, and flexibility

An FPGA can be seen as an array of Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) connected through
programmable interconnect
It is like having a blank slate of custom circuitry that you can rewire to implement your
application.
After defining the desired behavior in a higher-level software tool, a compiler parses the code,
implements the logic as hardware, and downloads it to the FPGA, creating a truly
custom circuitwithout many of the hidden costs of traditional custom designs. The benefits of
replacing custom solutions with FPGA-based hardware include:
Reconfigurability: FPGAs can be reconfigured at any time. Designers can integrate slight
modifications or complete personality changes. Custom designs can seldom be significantly
changed after deployment.
Software-defined design: The hardware is defined by software-like languages. Designers can
develop, test, and simulate a circuit fully before "running" it on an FPGA.
Parallelism: Circuits defined in an FPGA can be designed in a completely parallel fashion so a
user can instantiate multiple hardware implementations in the same chip without cross-module
interference.
High speed: Because an FPGA is a hardware implementation running with fast clock rates,
designers can achieve very high speeds. Coupled with parallelism, FPGA implementation can
outperform many processor-based systems.
Reliability: Designers can expect true hardware reliability from FPGAs because there is
no operating system or driver layer that can affect system uptime.
