It is important for all of us designers to know the device that will be used in the project, so that we can understand in advance if this component will be the most correct in terms of performance, production costs, market traceability, its behaviour in frequency, temperature or even with respect to ionising radiation (in the case of projects for devices in space).

The first part helps the student understand what an FPGA is and what to expect from a component of this kind. This will be followed by a technological overview of the main blocks inside an FPGA up to their connection to the physical pins of the component. The main elementary logic cells of the main FPGA manufacturers will be illustrated, also trying to answer the following classic question: "what is the difference between LUT, LE, LC,...." so that it can then be possible for the student to understand whether a certain FPGA model of a manufacturer is more capacious or not (in terms of insertable logic) compared to a similar component of another manufacturer.

In the next few weeks we will announce the course calendar, the price of each course and any offers for multiple participation. For each course we will announce the list of topics and the duration of each one.
