#111021 - FPGA vs microcontroller
Responding to: ???'s previous message

and I heard that they (FPGA manuf) are developing low cost boards or is it a single chip? then, that will severely affect the business of uC.


The FPGA manufacturers make chips. Their customers make boards.

Some problems are best addressed using a microcontroller, some are best dealt with using an FPGA.

FPGAs give you much greater flexibility in defining the hardware at the cost of greater hardware development effort.

Micros give you a limited interface to other hardware but offer a standard instruction set easily programmed and debugged in a high-level language.

Some applications use both to take advantage of each's strengths.
