ASIC vs. FPGA
Posted: 05 Oct 2023, 20:36
What sets apart ASIC and FPGA Profinet solutions from each other ?
In contrast to the ASIC, the FPGA is more flexible because
- its function can be changed by the developer
- own functionalities can be incorporated in addition to the PROFINET function
The disadvantage of FPGAs is their higher costs especially if the increased flexibility is not needed.
