From all that has been discussed in previous chapters, it is evident that FPGA vendors are continuously devoting efforts to include in their devices new features, or improvements to existing ones (as well as in their design tools), aiming at an increasing penetration in the digital design market. Today, FPGAs are used in many different industrial applications because of their high speed and flexibility, inherent parallelism, good cost–performance trade-off, and huge variety of available specialized logic resources. As a consequence, they have been extensively analyzed over the years from the perspective of industrial electronics (Monmasson and Cirstea 2007, 2013; Naouar et al. 2007; Rodriguez-Andina et al. 2007, 2015; Monmasson et al. 2011a,b; Gomes et al. 2013; Gomes and Rodriguez- Andina 2013).
Thanks mainly to the paradigm shift enabled by the availability of increas- ingly powerful, feature-rich, heterogeneous FPSoCs (Figure 9.1), they are expected to consolidate their application domains and enter new ones. In the authors’ view, although microcontrollers will keep being the dominat- ing solution in the market (because they are the best choice for many low- to mid-complexity embedded systems), the role of FPGAs will be increasingly significant both for the implementation of high-performance peripherals and in high-complexity systems.
One of the main impediments for a wider use of FPGAs in the indus- try has been the limited knowledge of the technology by nonspecialists in hardware design. It is our hope that this book contributes to mitigate this problem by showing the advantages that can be taken from the most cur- rent FPGA devices in industrial applications in an accessible way for these nonspecialists.
