Abstract
Algorithms used in signal and image processing applications are computationally intensive. For optimized hardware realization of such algorithms with efficient utilization of available resources, an in-depth knowledge of the targeted field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology is required. This paper presents an overview of the architectures and technologies used in modern FPGAs. A case study of most popular and widely used state-of-the-art commercial FPGA technologies from Xilinx and Altera is also presented. Three-Dimensional (3D)-FPGA architecture is also discussed.
