Synopsis FPGA is introduced as an alternative and inexpensive tool compared
to ASIC(Application Specific IC) for embedded system design. The
architecture and fabrication of FPGA from CMOS level is studied. The
verilog program used widely in industry is adopted to implement de-
sign using FPGA. Digital processors, ALU and FSM are implemented
and synthesed using industrial tools and the designs are displayed

using FPGAs. The problems faced by designers such as delay and
power consumption are minimized using placement, routing and per-
formance analysis. Also for behavioural design, the data path control-
ler, scheduling, allocation and pipelining are analyzed. The multi
FPGA design is studied and other novel approaches in FPGA embed-
ded design are explored.
