484-BGA FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array)

FPGAs are user-configurable integrated circuit products used for performing logical operations and information processing, and which commonly feature a very high level of integrated functionality. They are often used in place of general-purpose microprocessors where known operations are to be executed at extremely high speed, such as in receiving and processing information from high-speed data converters. They typically require an external memory device to store the user's desired configuration and reload it upon startup.
