FPGA ingredient: Must in 4G/5G wireless, cloud and data centers

There are three important physical blocks in the electronics hardware. They are Analog, RF and the rest is digital logic circuitry to encode and decode the audio, video and such human Interface and sensor interface data, and also to create/wrap and unwrap the packets of digitized data, along with the core-computing. If you keep the analog input and physical RF transceiver out of your electronic hardware, the rest is just billions of logic gates wired to perform some combinational logic and sequential logic and also to store data temporarily. You can make use of permanently wired logic functions in the form of traditional processor/CPU and use software programs to deliver the digital data-output the way you want, or use a programmable silicon/field programmable gate array (FPGA) which basically rewire the logic blocks and deliver the digital-data output the way you want. For electronics engineer, this concept is not something new. If you look at very earlier 8-bit computer motherboards, there used to be a lot of discrete logic gate chips (74xx series) and also 8085 or 68K processor on the same board. Some part of the digital data processing used to be done on logic gates and much of it on the 8-bit processor. With the advancement of Moore's law, the performance of processor has increased so fast, the relevance of hard wired logic lost its scope in terms of cost and time sp...
