11 Myths About eFPGAs

FPGAs have been available for more than three decades and are now a standard component in the system engineering toolbox. Embedded FPGAs (eFPGAs)—which are IP blocks for embedding FPGA fabrics into ASICs and SoCs—aren’t as familiar to many design engineers, yet they offer many similar benefits compared to standalone FPGAs, starting with hardware flexibility. Because they’re not as familiar, many myths surround the use of eFPGAs.
