FPGA vs Microcontroller for PCB Design and Assembly

Choose a microcontroller when a product needs simple control, low power, lower cost, and fast firmware development. Choose an FPGA when the design needs parallel processing, deterministic timing, custom digital logic, or many high-speed interfaces.This choice affects PCB layout, layer count, package type, power design, assembly, inspection, testing, cost, and lead time. For PCB and […]
