A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is an integrated circuit designed to be configured by a customer or a designer after manufacturing.
Here is the list of some FPGA’s with their transistor count, release date, manufacturing company and fabrication size.
- Virtex – 70,000,000 – 1997 – Xilinx
- Virtex II – 350,000,000 – 2000 – Xilinx – 130 nm
- Virtex 4 – 1,000,000,000 – 2004 – Xilinx – 90 nm
- Stratix IV – 2,500,000,000 – 2008 – Altera – 40 nm
- Stratix V – 3,800,000,000 – 2011 – Altera – 28 nm
- Arria 10 – 5,300,000,000 – 2014 – Altera – 20 nm
- Stratix Family device – 17,000,000,000 – 2017 – Intel (Formerly Altera) – 14 nm
Special property of FPGA is that we can designed them after purchasing them according to our need which makes them highly customizable.
