Honored ContributorSizing an FPGA
I'm looking at picking an FPGA for a design, but don't want to go too far in overkill on the size/complexity of the FPGA. The core functionality that I would like for it to have: DRAM memory in...

Honored ContributorI appreciate all of the responses so far. I am intrigued by the possiblity of implementing the whole design in an FPGA. Cost is certainly an issue, but it is one thing that isn't set in concrete. A flexible design would allow programmability and upgrades a lot easier, which would reduce future costs. I'm just not as familiar with what can be done in a modern FPGA versus the decade or so old ones.
