Question

An FPGA with an embedded logic function that cannot be programmed is said to be:

• A. Non-volatile
• B. Platform
• C. Hard core
• D. Soft core

Hint:

Remember that 'hard cores' are non-programmable and specific to tasks, while 'soft cores' are flexible and programmable.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

A "hard core" FPGA incorporates a fixed, non-reprogrammable logic function, permanently implemented in hardware for specific tasks. In contrast, "soft cores" are programmable, providing design flexibility.
