samcheetah said:today i read an article at embedded365.com about FPGAs and ASICs. what i understood is that ASIC based design was once rocket science but due to alot of complexities it is dying out. whereas FPGA simplifies alot of the complexities for the designer.
now what do you people say about this. is this true?
actually i have an ASIC course next year. but a teacher told me that maybe they were going to include an FPGA course. so which one should i take.
samcheetah said:so that means FPGAs are better from a learning point of view. its easy to re-program the whole thing like flash based microcontroller. but in the industry you are free to work with any technology you like. if you need to develop something in less time and dont care for the resources then FPGA is a good choice. but for optimization you would go for ASIC but that would increase the complexity of the design because alot of decisions have to be taken by the designer (and not the software).
am i right???

I think that is a main advantage for ASIC over FPGA.
