FPGA Field-Programmable Gate Array—fundamentally, an FPGA is a
semi-conductor device that contains a large quantity of gates (logic
devices), which are not interconnected, and whose function is determined
by a wiring list, which is downloaded to the FPGA. The wiring list
determines how the gates are interconnected, and this interconnection is
performed dynamically by turning semiconductor switches on or off to
enable the different connections.
