Working Principles

The XC3S100E-4CPG132C is based on the principle of reconfigurable computing. It consists of an array of configurable logic blocks interconnected through programmable routing resources. These logic blocks can be programmed to implement various digital functions by configuring their internal look-up tables and flip-flops. The interconnections between these blocks are established using programmable routing resources, allowing for flexible signal routing.

During operation, the FPGA is configured with a bitstream that defines the desired functionality. This bitstream is loaded into the FPGA's configuration memory, which determines the state of each logic element and the interconnections between them. Once configured, the FPGA operates as a custom digital circuit, executing the desired logic functions.
