FPGA is a computer chip that you can program to be
"anything"..
normal chips are logic "gates" that are arranged
in a certain way to provide some function.
FPGA are logic "gates" that can be programmed.
Normal chips are like concrete ditches. They get
water from one spot to another, and you cant
modify their function.
FPGA's are like a lego set with pipes. Depending
on how you put the legos together, you can get
water wherever you want.
programmable hardware.
