Advanced process technology and system-integration provide the driving forces behind silicon convergence. FPGAs speed along this trajectory, having already integrated SRAM memories, digital signal processing (DSP) and multiplier blocks, serial transceivers, memory controllers, and advanced I/O functions. The latest advancement in programmable technology is the SoC, which integrates an Altera FPGA with an ARM applications processor, plus a rich peripheral processor subsystem. The convergence of these technologies provides new challenges and opportunities for real-time embedded system design.
