FPGA

Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and Environmental)

An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is an integrated circuit that can be reconfigured after manufacturing to implement custom digital logic, using hardware description languages like VHDL or Verilog. Hardware and embedded systems engineers use FPGAs for tasks requiring high-speed parallel processing or custom hardware acceleration, such as telecommunications, aerospace, and financial trading systems.
