Engineers love the flexibility and power efficiency that FPGAs give them.įPGAs are the commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution for the increased performance demands of military signal-processing applications, says Manuel Uhm, senior marketing manager, DSP Division at Xilinx in San Jose, Calif. Today military systems designers are meeting demands for ever-greater DSP performance with reconfigurable field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The last evolution in digital signal processing for military systems was the release of the PowerPC Altivec chip, which enabled general-purpose processors to perform functions that before only specialized DSP chips, such as those designed by Analog Devices and Texas Instruments (TI), could provide. Field-programmable gate arrays are becoming the choice of systems designers over their longtime preference of digital signal processing hardware.
