ABSTRACT
From all that has been discussed in previous chapters, it is evident that FPGA vendors are continuously devoting efforts to include in their devices new features, or improvements to existing ones (as well as in their design tools), aiming at an increasing penetration in the digital design market. Today, FPGAs are used in many different industrial applications because of their high speed and flexibility, inherent parallelism, good cost–performance trade-off, and huge variety of available specialized logic resources. As a consequence, they have been extensively analyzed over the years from the perspective of industrial electronics (Monmasson and Cirstea 2007, 2013; Naouar et al. 2007; Rodriguez-Andina et al. 2007, 2015; Monmasson et al. 2011a,b; Gomes et al. 2013; Gomes and Rodriguez-Andina 2013).
