FPGA vs ASIC: Key Differences Explained
If an FPGA can be compared to a breadboard, then an ASIC is like a PCB. PCB(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printed_circuit_board#/media/File:SEG_DVD_430_-_Printed_circuit_board-4276.jpg) The photo above is a PCB. To be precise, it has components mounted on top of it. It is commonly used in various home appliances such as smartphones and TVs. To create a PCB, you need to draw a Schematic (circuit diagram). Then, create a PCB layout design. Finally, have it manufactured by a PCB manufacturer. If there is an error after manufacturing is complete, you must fix it. Do you need to change a PCB line (trace) or component? What steps should you take? To have a normal product, you need to modify the Schematic and PCB layout and manufacture it again. Of course, you can cut the line in the middle and connect it with an external wire. However, this will greatly reduce the stability of the product sold. ...
