1. Take turns in your tutorial group to explain each of the following to the other members of your group. Use a whiteboard or piece of paper to draw sketches to support your explanations where possible. Your answer can focus on the Xilinx Spartan FPGAs we have discussed in lectures and used in the practicals. a) What is an FPGA? In your answer say what the acronym stands for but also explain what it means. Also explain the kind of things an FPGA can do. b) What are the steps in using an FPGA? c) What are the main structures inside an FPGA? What do they do? d) One of the common units in an FPGA performs combinational and sequential logic. There are typically hundreds or thousands of these units on a single FPGA. In broad terms what is inside one of these units? How does it work? e) Broadly characterise the kind of applications in which you would consider using an FPGA. 1.
