Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are versatile hardware devices that can be configured to perform various logical functions. Their unique flexibility allows for rapid prototyping and customization, with applications spanning digital signal processing, cryptography, and more. The design flow for FPGAs involves multiple stages, including specification, synthesis, and testing, which must address challenges such as timing management and resource constraints.
