Hello, I'm completely alien to FPGA. for many years I have used microcontrollers in my digital designs and I never felt that there is anything that can't be done by MCUs and I have to use FPGA or DSP for that. I know there are specific designs like digital osciloscopes that are really impractical to implent without FPGAs but I mean for most routine digital designs how much necessary is to learn FPGAs. I'm completely familiar with 8bit MCUs (51, AVR,..) and I have designed many boards during many years with them. I have to design digital boards many of them have to communicate with computer and have some ADC and DACs. Now I want to spare some of my time to learn either DSP or FPGA but I'm not sure which one I will need the most. is there any document that explains practical problems that can be solved by FPGAs and compare it with development time using microcontrollers? or can someone that has experience in both fields kindly explain it to me?
thanks.
thanks.
