Computationally intensive DSP functions often require hardware acceleration. Increasingly, designers are implementing their DSP algorithms in FPGAs because they offer better performance than DSP processors. Benchmarks show that FPGAs execute turbocoding, GPS correlation, H264 and other DSP functions much more quickly than DSPs.

Although FPGAs offer excellent design flexibility and performance, they are notoriously power hungry--especially when compared to microcontrollers (MCUs). For instance, static power consumption for a highly integrated ARM7-based microcontroller can be as low as 60 [micro]A, whereas a 500K gate Xilinx Spartan 3-EFPGA ...
