a) A Microcontroller
b) FPGA
what should i go for and why?
ravibg said:I would also like to know if there is a system with FPGA and microcontrollers integrated together.
I heard the new servers which can handle both Optical and electrical signals are built with just FPGA's .
Usually a µcontroller will be more energy-efficient than a FPGA, as long as the task is relatively simple and low-speed. FPGA's have the advantage when there's mountains of data (like in many places these days), that need to be processed in a more-or-less constant way.
You can 'emulate' a real CPU on a FPGA, some FPGA's have a CPU built in as fixed silicon, there exist systems-on-chip where FPGA logic is stuck onto a CPU. So mix & match as required...![]()
