(a) In which applications should a designer use a CPLD rather than an FPGA?
(b) In which applications should a designer use an MPGA rather than an FPGA?
(c) In which applications should a designer use an FPGA rather than an MPGA?
(d) A company is designing an experimental product that is in version 1 now. It is expected that the product will undergo several revisions. The company’s plan is to use an FPGA for the actual design. What type of FPGA (SRAM or antifuse) should be used?
(e) A company is designing a product using an FPGA. The company’s plan is to use an FPGA for the actual design. The product has undergone several revisions and is fairly stable. Minimizing area, power, and cost is important for the company. Which type of FPGA (SRAM or antifuse) should be used?
(f) A company is designing a product. It expects to sell 1000 copies of the product. Should the company use an MPGA or an FPGA for this product?
(g) A company is designing a product. It expects to sell 100 million copies of the product. Should the company use an MPGA or an FPGA for this product?
