What does fpga stand for?

FPGA - Field-programmable gate array is a semiconductor device containing programmable logic components called "logic blocks", and programmable interconnects.


What parts are used in inverters?

MAJOR COMPONENTS OF AN INVERTER An inverter design and components vary with requirements but following components are most commonly used in designing an inverter. 1. MICROCONTROLLER Microcontroller is the main and integral part of an inverter. The main working of microcontroller is to control the switching of signals according to the requirements. A single microcontroller can perform multiple functions (e.g.) generating PWM for switching, controlling the protection systems etc. There are various types and families of microcontrollers available in the market, for example : PIC family AVRs (ATMEGA series) Atmel Arduino FPga (etc) Depending on the design specifications, any microcontroller can be used. 2. BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTORS (BJTS) BJT or a bipolar junction transistor is a three layered device which is capable of controlling the current flow. In a BJT, a small current at the input of the device can control larger currents at the output. Thus, BJTs can amplify currents. They can be used as a relay driver, as a switch, as a constant current source, as an amplifier (etc.). 3. H-BRIDGE H -bridge is a topology in which four switching devices BJTs, MOSFETs or IGBTs are integrated together in a single circuit. The name H-Bridge is given to it because of the typical arrangement of this circuit. Mainly used switching devices in the H-bridge circuits are BJTs, MOSFETs or IGBTs. 4. MOSFETS The Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor-Field-Effect-Transistor (MOSFET) is a voltage controlled device and requires a very small input current. It is mainly used for switching of electronic signals as its switching speed is very high. It is the most commonly used FET in low-power high-frequency circuits. The MOSFET is composed of a channel of n-type or p-type semiconductor material, and is accordingly called an N-MOSFET or a P-MOSFET. 5. FILTERS At times it is desirable to have circuits capable of selectively filtering one frequency or range of frequencies out of a mix of different frequencies in a circuit. A circuit designed to perform this frequency selection is called a filter circuit.

What are the difference between FPGA and DSP?

The major difference is that, a DSP is a chip which can be programmed based on our requirement, whereas an FPGA can be programmed to design a chip for our own purpose. FPGA can also be reprogrammed based on the changes in our application.


What is difference between fpga and microprocessor?

Now FPGAs are having builtin processor like PPC and more either in hardcore or softcore. Main difference between processor and FPGA is execution Processor is sequencial execution but FPGAs are concurrent so speed of FPGA is much higher than a high speed processor.


What is the difference between plc and fpga?

fpga and plc are two completely different things. FPGA( field programmable gate arrays) are building blocks of electronic sysytem where as plc are systems. Comparing these two is like comparing engine with car.


Which is more better between FPGA and FPAA?

FPGA and FPAA are both very different in nature and APLLICATIONS also.


What is the difference between FPGA and PSOC?

PSoC devices are more user friendly than FPGA, But PSoC are limited in functionalities comparable to FPGA as FPGA can have any digital block but PSoC has some limited Digital blocks pre defined in the flash memory.FPGA requires VHDL and verilog to be programmed where as PSoC can be easily programmed just like any other ordinary microcontroller.PSoC surpassed the FPGA as PSoC now-a-days are containing almost all blocks that are usually needed and thus makes them more flexible than FPGA chips.
