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

An FPGA with an embedded logic function that is fixed and cannot be reprogrammed is referred to as a "hard core." Hard cores are typically designed for specific tasks and are permanently implemented in the hardware. In contrast, "soft cores" are programmable and allow for flexibility in design.
