Fixed logic to give 28nm FPGAs a helping hand
February 2, 2010
The next generation of FPGAs from Altera won't be quite as programmable as the last - although you will be able to flip some of the logic inside them as they run. For the generation of FPGAs to be made on a 28nm process, Altera is making several changes.
One change is the merging of HardCopy - the mask-programmed gate array used to provide fixed versions of customer design for less money per die - with the mainstream programmable logic family of Stratix parts. Another is the decision to finally adopt partial reconfiguration so that parts of the logic can be switched in and out while the rest of the system is still running.
